Factibilidad de la implementación de elementos estructurales, cruces de San Andrés utilizando madera de la zona como aliso o ciprés para la nueva casa comunal del barrio Yugsiche Alto, parroquia Toacaso, cantón Latacunga, provincia de Cotopaxi

Abstract

For the development of this project, the design of a Communal House was proposed, using optimal wood from the area, through a structural system with Cruces de San Andrés, in order to provide a safe structure for the residents. To carry out the compression tests: parallel, perpendicular and bending, the universal machine of the Civil Engineering Career laboratories was used, where 30 specimens were tested, 15 cypress and 15 alder, after which the results obtained were analyzed. in the tests and were compared with that specified in the Junac Design Manual, where the wood with the greatest resistance to these forces was cypress wood, with a maximum stress in parallel compression of 297,993 kilograms over squarecentimeters, in perpendicular compression. to fibers of 379,791 kilograms on square centimeters and in flexion of 45,579 kilograms on square centimeters. In addition, it was also verified that by placing the Crosses of San Andrés in the structure, you are helping to reduce the forces and moments present in it due to the different loads to which it is subjected. At the end of the design, four detailed plans were obtained as a final project, which include its foundation plan, the wooden sections for the different elements of the structure of the Communal House so that in the future this project can be executed contributing so with the development of the community.
