Franco, Luiz Sergio (1992) Application of constructive rationalization guidelines for the technological development of constructive processes in unreinforced structural masonry. PhD thesis, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil.
Abstract
Structural masonry construction process has been used during last decade for low-cost housing, in buildings not higher then five floors. The intensive use of this process is justified because it results a low cost dwelling with suitable performance when compared with the traditional construction process. However, all of the performance and building rationalization potentialities have not been already used. In this work, the implementation of construction rationalization guidelines has been propose. These guidelines are applied both at conception and construction phases of the building. Moreover they improve the industrialization and quality of the process with implies in a high efficiency of constructive process and quality of the finish products. These proposed guidelines for constructive rationalization have been applied in design and construction of prototype buildings, produced in cooperation research program of the University with privates companies. As result of the application of that guidelines an improvement on organization and quality of that buildings and productive process are achied.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
