COBEPLAC construcciones en adobe para las comunidades de recursos limitados

Abstract

The design of COBEPLAC is established, as the construction system based on adobe walls, whose characteristics aim to generate a low environmental impact, low cost, useful life and easy accessibility to said material. Similarly, COBEPLAC seeks to help more vulnerable communities with a construction system starting from a prototype brick with established dimensions of (Soga-30cm, Tizón-10cm, Width-15cm) with an estimated weight of 7.6 K, that is, lighter than conventional adobes, because the materials for its composition are natural and agricultural fibers which makes it more resistant and safer. Therefore, its elaboration has the advantages of being ecological and economic, this is reflected in the time of drying because, it must be outdoors. On the other hand, a manual was prepared with their respective pertinent indications for a full knowledge since their manufacture, clay test, quantity table and their respective construction, so, only basic tools are needed for their assembly. This way, your design and assembly will not need a specialist, but help from a small community motivated and progressive willing to contribute. Thus, the locality of Usme was determined as a case study, whose practices of selfconstruction and community exercise were successful.
