Levantamento dos sistemas estruturais em concreto pré-moldado para edifícios no Brasil

Abstract

The use of precast concrete is a mainstream, the quantity of buildings that uses this system in the United States and Europe proves this tendency. The precast concrete system was, during a period of time, discerned because the architects saw it as a system full of limitation and indicated it only for industrial buildings. Today there is another concept and the precast sustem is present in all kind of buildings. To evaluate the use of precast sytem in Brazil, it was established a survey among the architects, structural enigineers and precasters. Based on these results it is presented here a view of structural solutions in precast concrete used in Brazil for residential and commercial buildings and its features. This study is similar to a research developed in the United States by Lehigh University (Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems).
