Quality control for precast concrete

This project addresses the theme of the use of precast in civil construction, performing a checklist on the quality control in its manufacture and assembly. The idea for the development of this arose from the interest in knowing more closely the work of the industries in this type of service, from the manufacture of the raw material, through quality control, until reaching the final destination, which is the work itself. The objectives of this work were to present the typology, advantages and disadvantages of precast structures; to verify the materials and methods that are used for the manufacture and use of the parts and to elaborate a check list with the purpose of attesting that all the stages are fulfilled according to the programmed schedule. The company that intends to use the check list will promote better organization at the time of execution of the work and a more rigorous quality control, due to the tolerances defined by the NBRs; however, being attentive to the verification of errors, because, according to the theoretical foundation studied, if there is failure in any item, the correction should be made until a satisfactory result is obtained.
