Abstract
The Bahareque technique is more affordable in terms of cost and materials to be implemented in rural constructions. The non-structural element is built in a rural area located in Sesquilé, Cundinamarca. It is reinforced with cane brave fibers, which is a type of cane that belongs to the bamboo family and is widely found in Colombia. Therefore, laboratory tests are carried out with the needed materials, only in the soil for its subsequent characterization and to know if it complies with the cohesion and plasticity properties to be part of the mixture. After this, prototypes are made where their physical behavior is visually studied, evaluating variables such as the appearance of cracks or the presence of landslides in order to optimally choose the design that will be implemented to build the wall. This is quasi-experimental research because the results (taken from the wall and the mixture design) are clearly extracted by observation over a period of one hundred and forty-four hours, a time in which no further changes are made to the prototypes. In the case of the wall, the same parameters are evaluated, such as the appearance of cracks during a fortnight.Downloads
