Evaluación de una vivienda de emergencia de la fundación Techo Ecuador usando la Norma ecuatoriana de la construcción 2013 (NEC-13), capítulo 7, construcción con madera y elaboración de una propuesta de mejora

摘要

This investigation will check the fulfillment of the chapter 7 of the 2013 Ecuadorean Construction Norm of the houses built by the organization Techo Ecuador. These houses are built for families that live in extreme poverty situation or homeless families. Chapter 7 regulates the use of wood as a construction material. The houses that Techo build are prefabricated house made with wood panels; they also have a light steel roof. The topics proposed in chapter 7 are going to be revised one by one and are going to be compared with the current characteristics of the Techo houses. After the results are obtained modifications for improvement are going to be suggested. These modifications should not change the emergency houses characteristics nor should they increase the cost of the house significantly.
