Revisão sistemática da literatura de prismas de alvenaria estrutural produzidos com blocos de concreto e cerâmica

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis has the objective to apply the methodology of systematic review of literature in the field of civil engineering and more specifically of structural masonry. The systematic review of literature is a tool of great utility in data survey and assessment in the state of researches in a specific field of knowledge. The methodology consists in a series of filters through which the publications pass before having their data collected, assessed and published. This thesis had its focus on scientific publications which produced data about the axial compressive strength of masonry prisms with height of 2 and 3 blocks constructed with concrete and ceramic. However, for the deeper data analysis, only data from concrete blocks were used. For the results analysis, they were divided into resistance ranges based on the masonry units employed. From this analysis it was concluded that the ratio between the block and prism resistance was acceptable due to the variable number of samples utilized by the authors. Thus, it was also concluded that the systematic review of literature may be employed perfectly in the field of engineering, as well as it is used in different areas, such as medicine, for instance.
