REVISÃO DE LITERATURA: APLICABILIDADE DO BAMBU NA CONSTRUÇÃO CIVIL

Abstract

The purpose of presenting the study was following the line of research on the applicability of using the bamboo in civil construction, this segment has been looking for innovations in this field for many years, and the same, collides with the lack of knowledge and the need to rethink the consumption of materials in construction, thus, the purpose of this work was to present options for civil construction with the use of bamboo in the development of works in a structural, internal and external way, reducing the added value with the ecological issue of use of these species presents. The difficulties presented by not knowing the background of bamboo species for use in civil constructions, collides with patterns already rooted in the use of other means, which must be highlighted more costly at the end of the work, instead of looking for information and guidance in order to obtain more sustainable parameters in the environmental dimension, attracting expectations for the exploration of materials with characteristics promising and compatible, bamboo, seen as a great potential for functionality and application marketing. In view of this, this article presented alternatives for the application of bamboo in civil construction, through studies and works published worldwide, with constructions and implantations of works using different types of bamboo as construction material. It was adopted for the development of this, the bibliographic review, in the search to demonstrate and present the various species of bamboos, with great potential for use in construction as well as in other areas. The results found in the literature demonstrated that the use of bamboo in civil construction, in the most diverse forms, is today a opportunity for improvements at an economic and structural level, being pointed out and demonstrated regarding physical, chemical and mechanical properties, in the main species used in civil construction, being able to be applied to the most different constructive systems, being the even a viable alternative, compared to other materials used today, being renewable source of low cost and good resistance, innovative alternative of improved techniques adequate treatment of the various species of bamboo, profitable for construction as a whole, existing advantages, such as: high tensile strength, good elasticity, ease of handling, high economy, among others. Particular importance was given to the issue of to add bamboo in sustainable processes, with ecological, economic and constructive advantages for the sector, being used from this the structural part to the issue of finishing and design of a building.
