Tecnologias de estruturas de aço light steel frame - Proposta de um bloco de arquitetura e urbanismo

Abstract

As Brazil is one of the largest steel producers in the world, it can be noted that the exploitation can be considered moderate of the metallic structures. In the face of enormous population growth and technological advances, the construction industry has been looking for effective systems aimed at increasing productivity, reducing waste to meet growing demand for housing. One of the possibilities is the use of a highly consolidated construction system in developed countries: Light Steel Frame, with its flexibility and constructive agility, proposes a great potential to be explored in the most diverse applications. In this perspective, the research brings knowledge about LSF steel showing positive and negative aspects, characteristics, mode of manufacture, assembly, techniques, materials and wind actions in the structures. With emphasis on the case study, it offers a project proposal with the purpose of building a block for the Architecture and Urbanism Course at the Federal University of Amapá, proposing the constructive process of the LSF, with a simplified budget.
