Estudo de caso da utilização de contêiner como proposta de habitação unifamiliar na cidade de Barra do Garças - MT

Abstract

The constructive system of shipping container houses is an alternative of constructive technology that uses maritime containers for the composition of its structure, characterized by clean and sustainable works due to the low production of solid waste and the reuse of discarded shipping containers. It has an agile and practical execution, guaranteeing rapidity in the constructive process and, besides, it allows architectural innovations, since it has a unique structure and that differs quite from the conventional ones. This work aims to study the entire design process and construction of a container house and for its accomplishment the research methodology of case study was used. The methodology consists of four main steps: the study of a residence in a container located in the city of Barra do Garças-MT, a bibliographic survey on the advantages and disadvantages of the use of containers in residences, the elaboration of budgets for the system of container houses and for the masonry system of ceramic blocks, besides the application of a questionnaire on the acceptance of the constructive system of container houses in the city of Barra do Garças-MT. With this study, it was verified that the residence in container analyzed has a cost 8.6% greater than the same residence made in masonry of ceramic blocks and, in addition, there were several advantages related to sustainability and the construction process, which makes the use of the system of container houses feasible technically and economically, even at a slightly higher cost. However, through the study on the acceptance of container houses in the city of Barra do Garças, it was noticed that the system is still little known, mainly by the general population of the studied region, making it necessary to carry out and disseminate studies such as this to encourage and facilitate their implementation.
