Elaboración de paneles prefabricados de bahareque para bóvedas de cañón

Abstract

The elaboration of a prefabricated curved prototype of functional wattle-and-daub with the optimization of traditional raw materials (earth, wood, cane) and contemporary materials (terro-cement, hydrophobic insulation or additives) is proposed. To reach this objective the type of research carried out is divided into different stages: starting with a theoretical scope, which helps to know the properties that the proposed systems have, following with a methodology of experimentation based on trial and error, seeking an approach to earth construction and its application to new constructive typologies, for this study techniques were used based on the progressive improvement of the different models that were made throughout the project, reaching a new conclusion at each step performed. One of the important points to take into account is the industrialization of the project, for which we opted for the use of plywood and the use of elements such as a laser plotter to obtain the necessary construction elements; in the field of soil, we took into account the possible problems that this would present when exposed to the elements, but many of them were solved through the proper study of the same and correct dosages.
