The Importance of Durability and Quality Control in Social Dwellings in a High Seismic Risk Region with Composed Wooden Materials
Abstract eng: The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of no traditional wooden materials, for social dwellings in the highest seismic risk zone of the Argentine Republic. The mix of materials is a new challenge in the evaluation of service life because the thermal bridges generate new problems in the durability of seismic-resistant structures. The used methodology is based on a theoretical study of conditions of habitability, laboratory tests on natural scale specimens to evaluate mechanical characteristics and the construction of prototype to validate durability. A valuable alternative to solve the deficit of dwellings is considered but it must include quality control of constructive processes and criteria of maintenance during service life must be established.
