Resistencia mecánica de losa estructural prefabricada de madera para entrepisos

Abstract

The central objective of this work is to design a prefabricated wooden slab, supported by the analysis of research on prefabricated wood, which has provided significant theoretical advances in recent years. This work develops a prefabricated wooden slab to validate its structural suitability through load tests, such as shear and bending forces. The results of these tests support its implementation in housing construction and contribute to more sustainable construction practices. Through the load test, it is possible to determine the mechanical properties of the wooden prototype for mezzanines, with the aim of evaluating its structural safety capacity in homes. It should be noted that the data obtained from this trial provides crucial information that supports the feasibility and effectiveness of using this slab in the construction of residential buildings. These results were used to verify compliance with the minimum resistance levels established in NCh1198, 2014, for wooden roofs and mezzanines. Taking into account that this type of wooden structure has demonstrated constructive and environmental advantages compared to concrete and steel construction methods, it offers more sustainable and efficient alternatives.
