Optimización del tiempo de construcción de manpostería, mediante el uso de macro-bloques de hormigón celular

Abstract

Important researches have been done to try to generate innovative ways to build; trying to improve different aspects, and in this procedure is where this titling work belongs. This proposal that tries to reduce the time used in the construction of masonry walls, through the develop of a constructive system of "Macro masonry concrete blocks, MMBH"

The work is presented as follows: 1. Introduction: Defines the topic, the objectives and hypotheses. 2. Theoretical framework: Defines important concepts and mentions the state of the art. 3. Method: First the panel and the construction system are designed. Then the masonry elements are manufactured, and present how was performed the productivity tests of blocks laying process. 4. Results and discussion. The pictures of the masonry elements are presented, as well as the pictures of the construction of walls, results of the block laying process, the unitary prices and compressive strength results of the blocks. 6. Conclusions and Recommendations. We conclude ascertain the hypothesis, reporting that the system of MMBH presents productivity within the construction process of 3.75 m2/h, which means about 4.7 times more productive than the brick and 3.6 times more productive than the block. Within this work, other reports of masonry systems in order to compare the proposed system are presented.
