Textile membranes in housing – adaptation to tropical climates

Mendonça, Paulo; Macieira, Mónica

Construction industry is responsible for great environmental impacts in the world, some authors refer that these can be as high as 50% of the global impacts. The research for lower environmental impact constructive solutions, namely by the weight reduction is thus a main concern when the objective is to reduce the footprint of buildings, especially in urban areas. Textile membranes are usually used to cover big...

Mudança de paradigma na compartimentação da habitação - das divisórias estática...

Mendonça, Paulo

Tijolo e betão são os materiais mais comuns na construção de edifícios em Portugal, com os quais se obtêm soluções de elevada inércia térmica, isolamento acústico e resistência mecânica, mas que contudo apresentam impactes ambientais significativos em fase de construção e demolição. No sistema porticado de betão, com alvenaria de tijolo nas paredes e abobadilhas de tijolo nas lajes, os componentes são permanent...

Verifica-se no entanto que, em Portugal, a maior parte dos alojamentos existentes não cumpre satisfatoriamente esse desígnio, apresentando soluções de divisórias interiores pesadas e estáticas. Este problema r...

Lightweight adjustable partition system: evaluation of resistance to horizontal...

Mendonça, Paulo; Macieira, Mónica Raquel Fernandes; Ramos, Luís F.

This paper presents and discusses the results of the serviciability and use condition tests carried on an innovative solution for partitions, designated AdjustMembrane developed within a research project. The proposed system is a modular non-loadbearing wall, tensioned between the pavements and ceiling slabs, which are used as anchoring elements. It allows several advantages, related with the weight reduction t...

Environmental and economic cost analysis of housing in temperate climate using ...

Mendonça, Paulo; Cruz, Nuno; Macieira, Mónica

This paper presents an economic and environmental cost analysis of a representative Portuguese housing dwelling unit using an innovative lightweight adjustable membrane partitioning system, developed within a research project. The environmental and economic costs of this system, both on the construction and occupancy phases, were compared with the Portuguese conventional dividing wall solution, in hollow brick,...
