Investigación de las principales tecnologías constructivas de edificaciones utilizadas en la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

There is carried out a bibliographical review of the main constructive technologies of buildings in reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete, the buildings we choose to study are located in Cuenca, and also are buildings in construction's process. Is done a pictures file, an interview to the technical staff, to determine the motives that stimulated the choice of certain technological variants of construction, special consideration takes to the Technologies of the Construction with elements prefabricated, in this case the factory is visited "Carrasco RFV Construcciones", to determine the elements that are made and that therefore are within reach of designers and builders. Finally every technological variant is evaluated, and general conclusion is that in the city of Cuenca the construction professionals of the buildings who are constructed and those in process of construction, in the main use a traditional method of construction, with independence of the specific type of formworks. For housings of small magnitude it is used formworks elaborated in situ, and for buildings of major importance Formwork’s Systems are used. A minimal application of prefabricated units exists in the city, is interpreted that this situation in the technological development of the construction is product, so much of subjective factors as for the resistance at the rate of the traditional form of construction that has been in use, since of objective aspects of economic nature for the investment that means to acquire the tools and equipment that the technological change would imply
