Building elements from totora stems joined with mechanical systems
(AHFE International, 2022) Hidalgo Cordero, Juan Fernando; Ordóñez Castro, Galo Alfredo; Orellana Alvear, Boris Adrián; Hidalgo Castro, Edgar Patricio; Hidalgo Cordero, Juan Fernando
For centuries, fast-growing species such as reeds and herbs have been used by ancient cultures to build a wide range of objects from handicrafts to huts and rafts. Several communities worldwide still use these kinds of plants as part of their traditional materials and building techniques. One of these species is totora (Schoenoplectus californicus) which grows in lakes and ponds in the Americas from California to Chile and some Pacific Islands. The most important examples of the use of this plant in the world are the group of floating islands of the Uros in Lake Titicaca and indigenous communities of the Andes, where local peoples have been using totora for more than 500 years applying mechanical joining techniques such as weaving and lashing to build their houses, boats, and utensils. This study focuses on developing new strategies supported by current technological possibilities for joining totora stems using mechanical means to produce building elements and study how the different parameters influence the mechanical properties of the parts made with these techniques.

Desarrollo de un sistema constructivo para su aplicación en vivienda social en sectores marginales de la ciudad de Cuenca
(2015) Bustamante Avilés, Edgar Santiago; Idrovo Feijóo, Diego Andrés; Hidalgo Castro, Edgar Patricio
Alternative housing in our city does not address all social groups, it is necessary that the houses are built in less time, the real needs of people are identified and are gran¬ted financing plans according to the income of the people and their tasks Daily may have one or more activities to generate income, so the first step is identifying areas of the city that has these problems, and finally develop a core set of housing, as well as its structural system and partition suitable for the sector and its needs. In the design of a core of basic accommodation space con¬taining the physical characteristics of the progressive hou¬sing, a viable alternative is to generate social housing grant to the real needs of people, in addition to its self-supporting structure it uses a structural system developed specifically this structure system is the product of research conducted by the Faculty of Engineering. By combining these two aspects, design and construction would comprehensively address the social housing project that can be used efficiently in our environment.
Diagnóstico del estado actual de la Hacienda Gullanzhapa, en la parroquia Tarqui, en Azuay, Ecuador
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-09-24) Serrano Suárez, Juan Ignacio; Hidalgo Castro, Edgar Patricio
During the colonial era, the parish of Tarqui in Azuay, Ecuador, was primarily focused on agricultural production and livestock raising. Despite changes and modifications in the historical buildings of the parish due to economic activities and current needs, some constructions still retain their original form and their landscape setting. In this area is the Hacienda Gullanzhapa, a historical complex of buildings constructed approximately two centuries ago. This property had an agricultural focus and also served as a residence for the owners. Additionally, it included storage spaces for agricultural products and accommodation for workers. In recent years, Hacienda Gullanzhapa has undergone changes in land use, diversifying traditional agricultural practices. Hacienda Gullanzhapa holds significant value for the entire community and parish. It embodies much of the history and culture of the old estates in southern Ecuador, reflected in the buildings and the ancestral construction methods used to build the estate’s blocks. Thus, the plan is to generate documentation of Hacienda Gullanzhapa and subsequently identify the damages and necessary corrective actions with the aim of preserving its historical, social, and architectural values. The process will involve three phases: in Phase I, a historical-critical evaluation, a landscape study, and an architectural analysis will be conducted to understand the estate and its values. In Phase II, a diagnosis will be performed to assess the characteristics and current condition of the architectural elements, describe in detail the functional, technological, and constructive relationships, and identify the most appropriate solutions to ensure the buildings' longevity. In Phase III, based on the analysis and diagnosis, the affected blocks and their main damages will be identified, which will enable the determination of the necessary corrective actions for proper maintenance and conservation. Additionally, efforts will be made to respect the historical and architectural aspects of the estate and to generally assess its potential future uses.
Diseño de una vivienda unifamiliar mediante la incorporación de contenedores para la ciudad de Cuenca
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2020-06-11) Rodríguez Jiménez, Danilo Fernando; Hidalgo Castro, Edgar Patricio
This work allows us to contribute to the reduction of the impact that the constructions generate in the environment, proposing a new use of waste elements like the metallic containers for their incorporation in the housing. A design proposal for a single-family house will be made by reusing metal containers for loading. A Sector will be define in the Cuenca City to establish the location of the house to be able to work with the Ordinance in force established for that certain sector. The respective construction details will also be proposed, taking into account the climate in the Canton of Cuenca to carry out the details of climate isolation. In addition to taking into account other details such as: sunshine, sound insulation, wall and facade coverings, installation of doors, windows and bleachers.

Estudio del comportamiento físico-mecánico de rollos de totora amarrados: influencia de la tensión de amarre, diámetro y longitud
(2019) García Navarro, Justo María
The cat-tail (Schoenoplectus californicus (C. A. Mey) Sojak), is an aquatic root macrophyte that mainly grows in America from California to Tierra del Fuego and some Pacific islands. This plant has been used since ancient times by various cultures for the production of objects, crafts, boats and cabins. The present investigation refers to the study of the factors that influence the mechanical properties of the tied cat-tail rolls so that they can be used as constructive elements. With the parameters studied, the study concludes that the clamping tension, the diameter and length influence, the resistance to bending and compression, the sliding between the fibers is presumably the main cause of these variations. The use of adhesives substantially improves the resistance to bending reaching values higher than 20 MPa in pieces of around 200 g in weight. The main function of the glue is to limit the longitudinal sliding between the fibers, which allows them to work together achieving greater resistance.

Panel prefabricado a base de fibras naturales
(2016) Peña Romero, Bolívar Andrés; Hidalgo Castro, Edgar Patricio
This research work, presents a design and developed of a prefabricated panel for architectural applications, made by natural fibers. The panel was made with a blend of vegetable fibers of rice shells and straw with siliceous sand particles, these components are agglomerated by a silicate of sodium resin. The mixture of these materials has good properties of workability, compression and with the application of dioxide of carbon CO2, this mixture get hardens quickly, the technique turns in a easy process of serial production of the prefabricated panels of natural fibers. Across the molding with a manual press, panels got good properties of resistance, module of rupture, density and humidity content; and also have modular measurements, nice textures with comfortable aspect and criteria of reversibility. The panels also present good qualities of thermal and acoustic isolation. The applications and utilities of the panels are for inside covering of: walls, ceiling, and decorative or light partition of interior spaces. Finally the research presents a proposal of installation of the panels, using the same form of renewable and sustainable resources.

Uso de geomallas y elementos de madera en la restauración de muros de adobe
(2014) Espinoza Salamea, Paola Alejandra; Ruilova Chuquimarca, Christian Rafael; Hidalgo Castro, Edgar Patricio
Soil, is a type of building material that has been used throughout history when constructing homes and monuments around the world. We can see this more so in Latin Ame-rica, where it has been established as the most predominant and prevalent material when observing architecture. Within the construction systems that uses this material, is the load-bearing wall-based adobe brick, one of the most com-mon structures used the Ecuadorian soil based constructions. However, the lack of maintenance and innovation in the adobe walls, has caused the deterioration and spalling of said material, leaving as a result a number of rural and heritage buildings in very poor condition. In response to this problem, countries like Peru have begun to make use of a geotextile called “geogrid” (which is permeable fabrics which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, or drain), in the restoration of adobe based walls, which in addition to helping the containment of the released material, also helps the wall to withstand the traction when encountering tremors or earthquakes. Furthermore, the present undergraduate collaboration seeks trials in adobes and geogrid in the nearby region to obtain the closest results to the Ecuadorian reality and subsequently formulate a construction primer with feasible so-lutions to mentioned problems, where the use of geogrids in conjunction with elements of wood can be adequately applied.
El vidrio en la construcción y su aplicación como componente estructural
(2017) Ordoñez Andrade, Jimmy Fabián; Hidalgo Castro, Edgar Patricio
The present thesis is about the use of glass in construction and its application as a structural component, the first chapter details the origins and the use of glass in different times, from its discovery to the present; The second chapter describes the physical-mechanical properties, for which laboratory tests were performed, the results helped us to know the different resistances possessed existing glass in our field, and included examples of works where the processes of poor installation have caused failure of the glass; The third chapter is the prototype of a detached house where glass is incorporated into different elements such as floors, columns, beams, carpentry and furniture.
