Propuesta de diseño de un bloque de madera plástica para la construcción de una vivienda con material reciclado, para familias recicladoras de la ciudad de Medellín.

Abstract

This monograph is based on the DESIGN OF A PLASTIC WOOD BLOCK FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A HOUSE WITH RECYCLED MATERIAL, FOR RECYCLING FAMILIES IN THE CITY OF MEDELLÍN. After being used, the plastic is discarded, and even after any procedure, its material is highly polluting due to its slow degradation. For this reason, it is essential to find an alternative and convenient use for the disposal of plastic and recycling, in this case a plastic wood block that, like all recycled material used in the work, becomes a fundamental factor for the evolution of a system constructive that goes according to the planet we live in, where the environment needs to be protected. In the first part of this work, mention is made of Recyclable Architecture, where it is explained how certain reused materials were used in different construction works. The objective of working with plastic is to reuse it as a fundamental part in the design of a construction system to obtain two benefits: to recycle plastic and free the planet of its contamination, and on the other hand, to contribute to the implementation of social housing. Therefore, an application of the new material is offered that deals with a block with dimensions 40x40x10 according to the architectural design, taking into account that it is for self-construction, the material that is mainly used for its production according to the recycling guide is plastic. type 7 and HDPE where the bags are included, however, different types of plastic such as PP and PS are mixed. Which can be split in half to form a 20x40 block and complete other measurements. The block has a slit to be able to split them. In addition, the other slits on each side in v, serve to ventilate the block by preventing the sun's rays from hitting it directly, keeping them cooler. In the construction system of houses with one and two floors, for which it is necessary to examine said material and what resources will be used. For this, it is necessary to check how this kind of housing is made.
