Análise comparativa de construção utilizando o sistema convencional e o sistema insulated concrete forms para uma unidade habitacional na cidade de Rondonópolis – MT

Abstract

In order to obtain efficient and environmentally friendly methods, new systems have been developed to replace the conventional one in order to reduce waste and construction costs. Among them, we have the ICF construction system (Insulating Concrete Forms), composed of EPS (Polystyrene Spandid) shapes easily mountable as a "LEGO", which has steel and concrete frames inside. In this context, the present thesis seeks to analyze the method in the use of building works of small size in the city of Rondonópolis - MT, in order to evaluate its technical and economic viability, such as applicability, thermal performance, construction technique, term and budget, to the conventional system, proposing a sustainable construction and with high acoustic performance for popular housing projects. This study is important for civil construction professionals and academics to be well informed about the ICF construction process, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this method, and to encourage a possible growth in the demand for the use of this system, especially among the popular classes.
