Diseño vivienda de hormigón armado dos plantas (10x25) m. y centro recreativo Ballenita Santa Elena

Abstract

The design of a two-storey single-family reinforced concrete dwelling with an integrated recreational area is developed for the Ballenita sector, in the province of Santa Elena, considering the urban, regulatory, and social conditions of the surrounding environment. The objective is to apply technical criteria established in the Ecuadorian Construction Code, ensuring structural safety and functionality between the residential and recreational spaces, as a contribution to the urban development of the area. The development was carried out through the analysis of the topographic and geotechnical information of the site, the interpretation of the architectural proposal, and the three-dimensional structural modeling of the building. Materials, construction techniques, and design parameters in accordance with current regulations were employed, as well as specialized software tools for seismic analysis and the structural dimensioning of elements. As a result, a structural design was obtained that meets the requirements of strength, stability, and serviceability, together with a functional architectural proposal consistent with the surrounding context. The conclusions indicate that the proposed solution is technically and normatively viable.
