Technology background
The construction system of structural masonry has been increasingly used in social housing, By combining financial benefits to a performance generally suitable of the building. However it has been found various pathological manifestations related to this construction system. among these, problems related to frames (doors and windows) and its surroundings are a constant concern, as directly interfere with the comfort and quality of life.
Technology description
The technology is an innovative solution consists of an integrated building element comprising lintel (1), contraverga (2), sum (3), and, optionally, rails (4), serving as a template for the production of components using concrete reinforced with glass fibers.
Problem Fixed
Improves the quality of construction and provides economic gains both in manpower and maintenance execution, as the cost of materials.
Advantages
– projection facility;
– designed material thickness on the order of the elements is fairly uniform and enables an efficient quality control;
– Possibility of mechanization and automation of the process;
– Ease of stripping. The undercut to use the element is integrated with the opening of the form, without difficulty and without risk of damaging the component being demolded.
Applications
– Construction;
– Doors and windows.
Nível de Maturidade da Tecnologia (TRL – Technology Readiness Level)
Status of the technology
Patent filled by INPI.
