    Caracterización física y mecánica del adobe en el cantón Cuenca
    (2017) Aguilar Alberca, Eddy Daniel; Quezada Zambrano, Rosa Angelica; García Erazo, Hernán Alfredo
    The raw earth is one of the oldest and most widely used construction materials worldwide, it has been popular for its easy production, workability, also for its important thermal properties, fire retardant, moisture balance inside the building, as well as being economic and reusable. Despite benefits of raw earth as construction material, it became obsolete by the appearance of new building materials (steel, concrete, etc.) more polluting and energy-demanding, but which, unlike land It can have a better seismic behavior. That is why it is important to study the behavior and physical and mechanical characteristics of adobe, one of the most widespread raw-earth construction techniques in our region. The study has physical tests (granulometry, liquid limit, plastic limit, index of plasticity and content of organic matter) and mechanical (compression, flexion and indirect traction). Important information for structural design of new buildings, conservation of existing buildings and to determine the vulnerability of this type of construction to seismic forces. Providing a tool in the structural field, allowing the designer to have data for basic calculations or software modeling and analysis of structures by means of finite elements, especially in nonlinear calculations, and thus better approximate the behavior of buildings.

    Comparación de parámetros físicos y mecánicos entre el adobe y el tapial en el austro del Ecuador
    (2018) Cárdenas Haro, Xavier Ricardo; Quezada Zambrano, Rosa Angelica; Aguilar Alberca, Eddy Daniel; Cardenas Alvarez, Andres Alejandro; Sarmiento Aviles, Julio Ismael
    The earth is one of the oldest and most widely used building materials worldwide. The research is relevant in Ecuador since in its temperate region it possesses five predominant vernacular techniques: adobe, bahareque or quincha, stone, wood and tapial, and the possibility of being able to combine several of these techniques in a single building. The establishment of physical and mechanical parameters of materials from the Austro of Ecuador, provide a tool in the structural field, allowing the designer to have data for basic calculations or advanced modeling with software and analysis of structures with linear and nonlinear procedures, resembling reality the behavior of buildings.
