UTILIZAÇÃO DO BLOCO DE AUTO ENCAIXE (BLOCO Z), NOS SISTEMAS CONSTRUTIVOS EM ALVENARIA ESTRUTURAL

Abstract

The content present in the work, concerning the construction systems of structural masonry, addresses the literature of renowned professionals specializing in the field, besides following the guidelines in the Brazilian Regulatory Standards (NBR). The knowledge of the components of structural masonry are meticulously detailed, for the purpose of understanding its characteristics and functionality, after the absorption of information follows with a study focused on enabling the use of the self-locking block (Block Z), where in some situations, At first it will be able to overcome the disadvantages of the conventional blocks found in civil construction. In order to prove its supposed efficiency, the applicability of the structural element will be evident in projects and consequently studies to manufacture a prototype which will be submitted to tests of the element to prove it. Its physical, geometric, mechanical characteristics and modulation will be applied in layouts to complete the experiment framework of the new block type.
