Abstract

This thesis project consists in the study of THE PLASTIC RECYCLING AS ELEMENT CONSTRUCTOR OF THE HOUSING. This material after use, is discarded, and although are you some treatment, their waste are highly polluting for its slow degradation. For this reason it is important to seek an alternative use for the disposal of plastic and recycling is a good start. Like all recycled material used in construction, this will become an important element in the evolution of a building system that go chord in the world that we live in, where it is necessary to care for the environment. In the first part of this paper referred to recyclable architecture, where it is described how certain recycled materials have been used in various construction works.

Then there is the issue of studies and laboratory tests, in which consists of find a relationship with a constructive system to plastic. The analysis and results indicate that type of recycled plastic favors us and will give us a starting point to get this material out. With the path proposed application of the new material in the constructive system of one or two storeys, so it is necessary to analyze what parts will be placed the material and which items will be used. For this it is necessary check how this type of housing is built. At the end is proposed a housing design taking into account all the studies carried out previously and with the proposed elements.
