Given this scenario, deconstruction appears as an alternative to demolition, and is a strategy to help increase the amount of components to be reused or the materials to be recycled. Thus, in order to reduce the volume of waste destined for landfills, the objective of the research consisted of a comparative theoretical study between the standard practice of demolition and a proposal of good practices, or rational. For that, an exploratory case study was conducted at a Federal Institution of Higher Education located in the city of Curitiba / PR. The result of the research demonstrated the recovery potential of 40.1\% of the evaluated items, since the volume of waste generated for the landfill depends on the amount of materials and components recovered from the building. In this way, an alternative proposal to demolition becomes not only the best choice from the environmental point of view, but also a process
capable of providing economic and social benefits.
The Centre for Territory, Environment and Construction (CTAC) is a research unit of the School of Engineering of University of Minho (UMinho), recognised by the “FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia” (Foundation for Science and Technology), associated to the Department of Civil Engineering (DEC), with whom it shares resources and namely human resources.
Currently CTAC aggregates 24 researchers holding a PhD of which 20 are faculty professors of the Civil Engineering Department. Read more
