Avaliação dos processos de recebimento e armazenamento dos materiais constituintes do concreto armado: um estudo de caso na cidade de Ipueiras-CE

Abstract

Considering civil construction a sector of great importance for the economy and society, and its constitution through small, medium and large companies, modernity increasingly requires this sector to apply planning and control concepts. In this context, the city of Ipueiras - CE is faced with the real estate growth and, consequently, with the growth of the retail trade of construction materials. The present research aims to evaluate the processes of receiving and storing the materials constituting reinforced concrete and mortar in building materials stores through the application of a questionnaire directed to owners and/or employees and photographic records in six stores of Construction Materials. It was possible to verify that the greatest care with receiving and storage is directed to cement and that the cement composites produced in the city did not have great additions, since the sale of specific additives for concrete was not verified in any of the stores visited. With this, it was concluded that the city has good reception and storage practices only for cement and steel, following most of the recommendations proposed by the literature. It was also possible to identify storage errors and the absence of quality practices in the stock of materials in the city of Ipueiras. With this, a graphic manual for receiving and storing materials constituting reinforced concrete and mortar was prepared, compiling the main recommendations given by the technical standards.
