LIGHT STEEL FRAMING: Alternativa para o sistema construtivo

Abstract

This article presents the Light Steel Framing construction system, as an alternative to the traditional system, the most widely used method in the country, based on brick masonry or concrete blocks, with a high rate of waste of materials and reduction in productivity. The option is justified due to the need and importance in the agility of the process, in a more efficient and ecologically correct way, avoiding waste and waste generation, adapting to current regulatory standards. Light Steel Framing is a system derived from the need for new technologies, with the main purpose of improving the construction process and performance indicators in the works. Thus, there is a need to research the characteristics of the new LSF system and present its conception, highlighting the productivity and efficiency of the method, showing its feasibilities and advantages in relation to the traditional system. The research identified positive points in the use of LSF that goes against process improvement, sustainable development, conservation of natural resources and input economy.
