| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation addresses the design of ceramic tiles not adhered to façades,
which are fixed to the support base by means of a metallic structure that, when
positioned, creates an air chamber that can be ventilated or not. This construction
system can be used in both new buildings and retrofits. Better performance
conditions can be achieved through decisions such as: the width of the air chamber
and its degree of opening, the use or not of thermal insulation. Constructibility, on the
other hand, can be promoted through definitions such as: the adoption of systems
with the least number of components or the standardization of façade elements. This
work aims to systematize the main information for decision making in ceramic tile
projects not adhered to façades with a focus on performance and constructability, in
order to make the process simpler and more efficient. The steps that make up the
method are as follows: bibliographic research, in which the main information about
the system was compiled; systematization of said information in technical tables, in
order to create design parameters; definition of graphic and descriptive documents to
be presented in the preliminary study, preliminary draft and executive project;
presentation and analysis of elevations and construction details that should constitute
the executive project. The adoption of design parameters, as well as the definition of
its scope in the main phases, adds quality to the design activity and to the
construction process, preventing any interruptions due to lack of definition or lack of
specifications. In addition, as a result, there is a direct impact on costs due to the
lower incidence of waste of materials and labor time, as well as rework or incidence
of pathological manifestations over the life of the building. Other benefits that can be
achieved are: meeting the performance expected by the user, energy efficiency of
the building and simplicity in the system assembly process. | en |
