ANÁLISIS COMPARATIVO DE SISTEMAS CONSTRUCTIVOS APLICADOS EN VIVIENDAS DE LA CIUDAD DE GUAYAQUIL

Abstract

Housing supply offered by the private and semi private sector such as banks, coops, financial holdings and public financial institutions spent 830 million USD by the end of 2006 destined to housing finance focusing on middle and upper classes, contributing to 30 thousand housing solutions. (Cadena, Ramos, Pazmiño, & Mendoza, 2010) The local dominant tendency is to use concrete as the main construction material. 80,7% of the buildings have planned to use concrete to build the foundations, 94,4% would use concrete for structures and 59,2% would use reinforced concrete for the roof. In this last stage of construction 23,3% of buildings would use zinc roofing sheets or asbestos cement roofing sheets. Regarding walls, 61,5% of the buildings would use cement blocks and 36,4% baked bricks. (Camacho Dillon, Fraga Ramos, & Gavilánes, 2012) Ecuador is a country where population growth goes hand in hand with a rise in housing deficit. To be able to sort out a solution to this deficit, construction in series is a quick, effective and economic solution by means of industrialized systems. This document will present characteristics of the systems already working in the country, highlighting its strengths, weaknesses and cost of housing construction mainly in the city of Guayaquil and Samborondón. These industrialized systems will proof its contribution to constructions, stating its high reusability, building time, and cost reduction.
