Process technology and building systems

Abstract

The third issue of Volume 9 of 2018 of PARC Research in Architecture and Construction is composed of research articles and systematic literature reviews. Particularly noteworthy is the section on Process Technology and Constructive Systems with expanded articles from the 1st WORKSHOP OF THE TASK GROUP OF TECHNOLOGY OF PROCESSES AND CONSTRUCTIVE SYSTEMS (TECSIC) of the National Association of Technology in the Built Environment. In all, the studies were developed by researchers from the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Paraná. The teaching and research institutions involved in the studies presented are the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná, University of São Paulo, State University of Campinas, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Federal University of Paraná and Federal University of São Carlos. The areas of formation of the authors focus on Civil Engineering, in the majority, including Architecture and Urbanism and Mechatronics Engineering. The thematic of process technology and constructive systems was approached with a focus on structural components of floor and walls, both in concrete, and automation of the industrial process of cut and folded steel. The research articles focused on teaching the mechanical behavior of structures and topography, in both cases, for Architecture and Urbanism students. The systematic reviews of the literature address research in Building Information Modeling integrated with the planning pre-fabricated panels and the Internet of Things.
