| 总结: | Shipping containers, standardized by the International Standard Organization (ISO), have been reused in several countries as a way to streamline and speed up the construction of buildings. After the end of its life cycle, these containers can be reused in the construction because they still present a high structural capacity and high weather resistance. However, this reuse requires adjustments to this new use. In this context, this paper aims to assess the main representative constructive parameters of these transformations and adaptations which proved necessary in three commercial buildings located in southern Brazil. The characterization and analysis of the construction system with containers were taken from the documentation, photographs, and interviews with designers and builders. The preparation, operational logistic, and procedures adopted in the transformation of containers are considered effective and appropriate for use in the three commercial buildings selected. The results show that ISO containers can increase the speed and the rationalization of construction by rapid changes. Finally, these containers, that show great potential for use in building construction, can also reduce waste and associated environmental impacts, making this building system suitable for sustainable buildings. |
