Diseño integral de vivienda social de 2 Pisos Implementando parcialmente impresión de hormigón 3D

Abstract

The housing deficit in Ecuador is a pressing issue that poses significant challenges for society. This problem leads to a multitude of deeper issues for individuals. To address this challenge, a design for a two-story social housing unit was proposed. The structural configuration of this unit is based on reinforced concrete frames. Additionally, the use of 3D printed concrete technology was explored to revolutionize the construction industry. To this end, various laboratory tests were conducted to develop the concrete mix design. Furthermore, a structural analysis of the building was carried out using software to calculate the steel reinforcement for its components. Through experimentation, a concrete mix was designed that incorporates materials typically considered waste from other industries. Moreover, it was found that construction time can be reduced by approximately 60% when using 3D printed concrete (3DPC) technology compared to traditional construction methods. The results of this research represent a significant contribution to the development of this new industry in the country and pave the way for future research on the subject.
