Standardized constructions. Structural wood system for detached and semidetached houses

Abstract

A technological contribution for the construction normalization. By means of a systematic for the architectural design and the use of wood as an structural element, it is been obtained a constructive system which allows the incorporation of the materials which the market offers by elements and components. The main traits of the constructive system are the possibilities of reversing the order of two of the traditional constructive process, first by putting into effect the cover (up-down) and the interior surround (Inside-outside). The structural element of wood is combined with metallic pieces which improve it's resistance work and optimizes the constructive process. The advantage obtained in this process by using wood are: — Design and constructive element standardized, normalized and modulated. — Simple constructive techniques with less construction time. — Formal solutions and flexible materials, adaptable to each region. — Optimum output of materials and labour. — Improve the relation Quality-Price. The article developed shows the results obtained in the investment and performance carried out by the Technological Department of the Investment Center of Envlronment and Development.
