| Resumen | The current trend in sustainable architecture is the use of natural and regional materials to reduce those that consume more energy in their production and those that are highly polluting due to the amounts of CO<sub>2</sub>, damaging the environment. Concrete is one of the most materials used in construction. Still, it is possible to replace cement with other sustainable or vernacular materials. The objective of the present work is the mechanical characterization of the stem of the areca palm (Dypsis lutescens and Chrysalidocarpus lutescens); its obtention is very common in the area of Tampico-Madero-Altamira (Mexico); the easy planting and reproduction make possible to grow it elsewhere. Tests for compressive, flexural, and mechanical resistance, as well as durability, were carried out using Mexican standards. The maximum bending moment that a 2.5m long horizontal structure can support is estimated. The palm shows an acceptable resistance and a resistant moment of up to 6680 ± 0007kg.cm. We also found that durability may be possible for more than ten years. When a roof structure based on a shingle is made with this plant, including supports every 2.2m, it is possible to use it in vernacular house construction with minimal deformation. The use of this material can reduce the environmental impact by avoiding products derived from cement. | es_ES |
