Diseño de una vivienda de uso residencial de 2 pisos con miras a ampliación vertical de un piso más. Estructura mixta de hormigón armado y acero estructural

Abstract

The objective of this project is the structural design of a residential house located in Babahoyo. In its initial phase, the building will consist of two floors; however, its structural elements are prepared for the future addition of a third floor, which has been previously planned. The structure is composed of reinforced concrete and structural steel. This proposal aims to mitigate urban sprawl, which has a negative environmental impact, while also addressing unplanned and unsafe vertical growth seen in various cities across the country. To ensure quality, safety, and efficiency in the design, current national and international standards were used as a foundation, considering environmental impact as well. As a result, a structural design was achieved that optimizes resources, minimizes waste, and reduces labor costs and construction time, providing a sense of safety and comfort to the client. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that the implementation of reinforced concrete and structural steel as a combined system offers significant long-term constructive and economic advantages, ensuring client safety and reducing the environmental footprint of construction.
