e-mail: pedrokop@ufjf.br

 

Civil Engineering from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (1983), Master’s degree in Civil Engineering from the Fluminense Federal University (1989) and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of São Paulo (2001). During his doctorate, he did a one-year internship at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées – INSA in Toulouse, France. Postdoctoral fellow at INSA in Toulouse (2014), on Life Cycle Analysis of Materials and Buildings. Professor at the Department of Civil Construction at the Faculty of Engineering at UFJF – Federal University of Juiz de Fora (since 1991). Experience in Civil Engineering, with emphasis on Materials and Construction Components, Construction Processes and Sustainable Construction, working mainly on the following topics: coating mortars; concrete; crushing sand (partnership with companies in the region, such as Petra Agregados); construction waste; recycling and reuse of materials; life cycle analysis of materials and buildings. Professor at Post-Graduate Program in Civil Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering at UFJF.

Knowledge Area: Structures and Materials

Lines of Research: Construction Materials and Components

Modules:

  • Mortar Technology
  • Sustainability in buildings

Research Projects:

  • 2021 – 2022 ReMat – NEW LIFE FOR OLD MATERIALS

Description: Objective: Reactivate and monitor the negotiations that take place through the website remat.eco.br, developed by the UFJF Research Group Pares, for exchanges, donations and sales of used construction materials. The results are compiled and evaluated in terms of their contribution to mitigating the environmental impacts linked to the materials, especially embodied CO2, and in terms of their social impact. Methodology: It consists of classifying the negotiated materials and constructive elements, raising the quantities by category and transforming the data into the amount of embodied CO2 that was no longer emitted into the atmosphere through reuse. At the same time, the Remat extension program will provide data on the regions most present in the negotiations, in order to assess the project’s social impact.

Status: Completed; Nature: Extension.
