Unión metálica para estructuras en guadua

Abstract

The present monograph will be made from the pathology of cracks that appear in the guadua due to the joints that pierce it with bolts, pins and nails, an investigation will be made of the types of joints that produce this damage and the prototypes of unions that have been developed to solve this problem.It is a subject that is quite important in the construction of structures with guadua, since the resistance of the guadua is not fully exploited.Taking into account the above, it is proposed to design a joint that works as radial type clamp fiber, that adjusts the guadua according to its diameter at each end that does not pierce it, several designs and prototypes will be made for later to be subjected to compression tests and tests assembly to confirm its veracity and make a comparison with the existing unions
