Estudo de fissuras em placas de vedação usadas no sistema construtivo light steel framing

Abstract

Currently, there is an increase in the search for fast construction and with little environmental impact. The light steel framing building system emerged as a different and innovative construction method in Brazil, capable of addressing needs such as agility and sustainability. However, there are few studies focused on LSF. Much of the literature covering this topic is foreign, that is, it does not consider the climatic, commercial and cultural reality of Brazil. Facts like these contribute to the occurrence of failures in the design and execution of constructions, which corroborates the emergence of several pathologies, which are associated with the cracks that are found in the plasterboards used as a seal for steel frame walls. The work consists of gathering and analyzing case studies that present these pathologies, such as their causes and possible solutions. Being able in this way, to conclude which are the main errors of construction or use that make possible the pathological manifestations.
