Estudo sobre o uso do aço inoxidável na construção civil

Abstract

The construction sector plays a fundamental role in the economy, being responsible for a significant portion of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employing millions of workers. The construction industry, essential for the functioning of society, is also a large consumer of raw materials, including stainless steel. This study is justified by the growing importance of stainless steel in civil construction, given its impact on the quality of structures and the economy in general. The work aimed to explore the use of stainless steel in civil construction, examining its properties, technical characteristics, and benefits. To achieve this goal, the specific objectives were to identify the properties and specifications of stainless steel, systematize information about its applications in civil construction, and present its benefits in terms of lifespan and sustainability. The methodology adopted was a literature review with a predominantly descriptive and exploratory approach, based on the detailed analysis of data and information from existing studies on the use of stainless steel in civil construction. The conclusion highlights stainless steel as a sustainable choice for civil construction, offering not only structural efficiency but also economic and environmental benefits.
