Diseño estructural de una vivienda unifamiliar de dos niveles con la implementación de una cubierta verde extensiva utilizando residuos de construcción y demolición

Abstract

The designs of sustainable or green roofs are increasingly solicited or demanded by builders and consumers, due to the prosperous research and information available and globalized that ratifies its use, with great potential, not only in the environmental and energy sector, But also for the economic and habitual benefits for the human being. One of the main problems in the first world countries is the loss of the natural landscape and the lack of soil for construction, since it triggers many others such as the effect of heat island, increase of the volume of runoff waters, waste management, among others . Colombia, a country with great sources of natural resources, and economic growth, does not present great problems of habitalidad and space, but in its measure, for the conservation of the same one must adopt strategies that mitigate or brake, the problems mentioned above, to Thus, not facing irreparable future consequences. One of the strategies is the use and optimization of spaces in cities and metropolitan areas, improving living conditions, living beings and providing new spaces through the implementation of green roofs, landscaped walls, among others. The main objective of this project was the development and design of a two-level single family structure with the implementation of an extensive green roof using Construction and Demolition Waste (RCD) as the main innovative feature, as well as a brief budget and comparative analysis Of the direct costs of the building with a conventional cover and another with extensive green cover. The design was based on research references, made by students graduated from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali, the Colombian Resistive Earthquake Regulation, for structural design, and data binding by the International Green Roof Association.
