Abstract:
The elements of reinforced concrete hollow walls have gained space in the civil
construction market, presenting important advances in the constructive aspects.
Thus, this article aims to carry out a case study verifying the viability of the
reinforced concrete alveolar wall construction system, compared to the
traditional method. For this, a building composed of four medium standard
apartments, located in the municipality of Inhumas-GO, built by the method of
alveolar walls of reinforced concrete was used as a base of study. For
comparison purposes, it1 was considered a work of fictitious form, with the same
characteristics, built by the method of conventional walls of ceramic blocks. In
the end, it was possible to conclude that the construction method of hollow-core
reinforced concrete walls has become the most advantageous with a profit that
reaches about R$80,376.49 thousand at the end, with a time saving of one
month and sixteen days.
