Diseño estructural y geotécnico para viviendas unifamiliares en el cantón General Villamil, provincia del Guayas

Abstract

The project aims to design a structural and geotechnical solution for single-family homes in the canton of General Villamil, province of Guayas, Ecuador, ensuring the stability and sustainability of the land, including the recovery of an area occupied by a lake. During its development, geotechnical tests were used, as well as two specialized software programs such as ETABS for structural analysis and REVIT for the preparation of plans and quantification of materials. Different methods of land recovery were evaluated, selecting sheet piling for its balance between stability and low maintenance cost. As a result, a design was achieved that guarantees the stability of the soil and the resistance of homes, complying with construction and environmental standards. The solutions include shallow foundations, earthquake-resistant systems and hydro sanitary networks. In conclusion, the project offers a safe and sustainable alternative for the development of housing infrastructure, promoting the efficient use of resources. Keywords: stability, resistance, sustainability, earthquake-resistant, sheet piling.
