Prefabricados en base a laminados de bambú: factibilidad técnica y económica para su uso como componente arquitectónico

Abstract

Abstract: Bamboo is a resource present in our environment, available in abundance, and we have some of the best species in the world. Despite this, its use is still insufficient and scarce in the construction field. A different way of use to exploit its properties is laminated bamboo, mostly imported from other countries causing waste of local resources. A study of the technical and economical characteristics of laminated bamboo is carried out using Guadúa Angustifolia Kunth specie, manufactured with the use of available machinery and local products. The experimental results indicate that the laminated manufactured with low technology, has the necessary characteristics for its use as an architectural component; but economically, its viability is low when is compared to other bamboo and wood products commercialized in the city.
