Diseño de muros mololítico para un prototipo de vivienda sustentable

Abstract

Currently, pouredearthis proposed asa potential alternative forhousingin certainregions of the stateofTamaulipas, Mexico. Thepurpose of this paperis to findthe percentage ofCPO20cementrequired to obtainthecompressive strengthfor poured earthto work itasload bearing wall. Mixes of two soils were made in the city of Tampico, Tamaulipas and stabilized with cement in several proportions. Afterwards, the thickness that the wall should have was calculated to sustain a slab, whose constructive system is bamboocrete, supported in two ways. It was found that the addition of 6% of cement is acceptable for a wall of 25 cm of thickness whose bearing capacity isof 17,787 kg to sustain the slab proposed of bamboocrete.
