Abstract

The paper’s goal is the analysis of different masonry components considering some aspects like energy, quality and sustainability, waste and management. The components considered in this study are ceramic block and concrete block. The criteria for the quality and sustainability analyses considered the impact of production with an emphasis on the energetic content, and aspects of materials’ management and waste, observed in building construction sites in Brasilia. The methodology used is based on surveying some blocks’ factories to obtain data about the energetic content of components and also data on the waste in Brasilia’s sites. Between ceramic block and concrete block, we conclude that the first one requires more energy in the process in the researched area. Besides that negative point, ceramic industry is responsible in Brazil to employ lots of workers, so other studies must be done in order to analyze this importance. The results provide recommendations for the proper selection of masonry components when using ceramic blocks or concrete blocks, as well as the data on the masonry quality and sustainability, considering the whole production process, from the component to the waste generated at the end of the process.
