Agentes ambientales en construcciones en bambú guadua, metodología de intervención, mantenimiento y prevención

Abstract

The project proposes methodologies to prevent and to intervene deteriorations caused by the environment and to maintenance guadua buildings. Defining Prevent as considering protection by design and the management of primary material; Intervention methodology as the result of applying a symptomatological, diagnostic and therapeutic procedure, similar to a pathologic study; and maintenance as the answer to a typical deterioration identified by the authors as Photodegradation. To suggest intervention methodologies worked on study case methodology, recognizing the most frequent deterioration with a common constructive detail in six cases (different morphological configuration but with similar constructive and environmental conditions). To intervention a study case was selected, located close to Bogotá, Colombia, in that a pathologic study was developed and for maintenance an intervention process was evaluated (that consists on applying oils or pigments in solvents) evaluating costs and maintenance length, finally recommends criteria based on Colombian Technical guide to constructive process GTC 270. Pending to publish structural and architectural design advises according to environmental conditions.
