Mejoramiento del recubrimiento en construcciones de esterillas de guadua.

Abstract

The rural community of the municipality of Malambo Atlántico, in its architecture, emphasizes the use of guadua in almost all its structures, as well as local round wood and the construction of houses in traditional guadua mats, so it is projected to make guadua mats the predominant technique in construction. Guadua mats, in buildings in the municipality of Malambo Atlántico, are characterized by the use of roundwood and/or guadua as part of their bamboo frame structure; together with the community, they use soil, water and farm animals from the surrounding area to pack the combination until the desired texture is achieved, they also add cow dung with the soil to provide better adherence to the bamboo mat. In a population of approximately 35 families that houses 155 people in the rural community of the municipality of Malambo Atlántico, it is contemplated how over time changes have been generated in the coating of the guadua mat structures, where it is essential to solve the crumbling of the coating, with the intention of applying the technique of improvement in the houses of the target area. In view of this situation, it is proposed to deepen in the analysis and identification of the causes that generate the wear of the guadua covering with the intention of obtaining a solution through the selection by granulometry of the finest clays located within the soil of the area, which facilitates the maintenance of the guadua through time in the rural community of the municipality of Malambo Atlántico. To gain performance, experimental studies were carried out with effects on soil composition, as well as in the search for an answer to the speculation on which this research is entirely based, which allowed the development of an offer to improve the conventional creation approach of the community, through the granulometric type of soil and the use of excellent rubble.
