Estructuras y envolventes mixtas entre tierra y materiales convencionales

Abstract

Abstract:The main objective of the research project is to determine processes and materials that allow for the optimization of a construction system that combines earthen materials with structures or envelopes made of concrete, metals, wood, or other conventional construction materials. This is done with the aim of generating innovative alternatives with a focus on sustainability. To achieve this goal, the use of improved compressed earth blocks is proposed based on an initial bibliographic survey. This project involves identifying and studying the construction elements that will be part of a new proposal, as well as solving the construction subsystems necessary for its implementation. Additionally, it seeks to develop a construction system with more efficient elements in terms of sustainability, functionality, and aesthetics. In short, the research project focuses on the integration of earthen materials with conventional construction systems to generate an innovative proposal in terms of form and composition.
