Implementación de cámaras de aire en el sistema no portante de tapial con objetivos de confort térmico

Abstract

Abstract: In the field of construction materials, there are various investigations that seek to propose new materials or optimize existing ones, in this last classification is where this study is framed, in a context of improvement of the physical properties of the construction material. For this, it is sought to know if it is that, from the use of air chambers inserted in a rammed earth matrix wall, the heat transfer capacity that said element possesses increases or decreases, having as context the climatic variables that the city presents. from Loja, Ecuador. To clarify this approach, the standardized experiment of the hot box is used and as objects for said test, a series of specimens developed with different variants, such as control specimens of common wall without alterations, wall with added fiberglass that will be called as references and finally the experimental proposed walls that will have air chambers inside. All this with the intention of measuring the physical capacity that the specimens can present with this test and its possible variants.
