M. Tech. Construction Management / Semi-skilled labourers are group of construction workers that are more prone to risks especially falls from heights, which is the basic motive for this study. Falls from heights could be classified as a safety risk compared to other risks that workers experienced in other economic disciplines. The purpose of this study is to identify the major risks encountered by semi-skilled labourers on construction sites in Gauteng and to make recommendations to mitigate the adverse impacts thereof.

Esta pesquisa comprova que há formas diversas de se construir otimizando o consumo de materiais e mão de obra, visando reduzir os impactos nos recursos naturais ocorridos na extração da matéria prima, e resultando em empreendimentos com menores custos de implantação. Para a realização do trabalho utilizou-se estudo de caso de edifício residencial de oito pavimentos, projetado com três sistemas estruturais diferentes: alvenaria estrutural, estrutura em concreto armado convencional e estrutura com paredes em concreto. Para as três opções foram verificados os custos diretos e indiretos, analisando-se variações em número de torres e tempo de execução de obra, traçando-se comparativos importantes para a tomada de decisão quanto à melhor tipologia dentre as opções estudadas. Este trabalho constatou nítidas vantagens econômicas do sistema de paredes em concreto em relação aos outros dois sistemas avaliados / Abstract: Observing the usual structural systems in Brazil, the demand for skilled labor, the consumption of natural resources for the production of materials and the impact on the final costs of implementing real estate projects, developing a survey for obtaining data to assess economic feasibility and diminish envinronmental impacts in innovative building system is needed. To establish costs parameters and, then, modify the traditional methods are also desirable. This research aims on the determination of results show that there are several ways of optimizing the consumption of building materials and labor, reducing the impacts on natural resources, and resulting in projects with lower deployment costs. For that, we used an eight floors residential building as a case study, designed with three different structural systems: structural masonry, reinforced concrete structure, and concrete walls. We checked the direct and indirect costs, analyzed variations in the number of towers and time construction for all the options to make decisions about the best construction system to adopt. Clear economic advantages of the system in concrete walls than the two other systems evaluated were found and reported / Doutorado / Recursos Hidricos, Energeticos e Ambientais / Doutor em Engenharia Civil
