Economía circular en la construcción y ciclo de vida de sistemas estructurales no tradicionales :determinación de ACV del sistema estructural de paredes portantes de adobe armado.

Abstract

The linear production model in force in the construction sector stands out for ignoring environmental responsibility. The circular economy is the answer to environmental stability by replacing the linear process of using, consuming and disposing of reuse. This Curricular Integration Work proposes the application of Life Cycle Assessment according to ISO 14040 for a non-traditional structural system of bearing walls. The project is developed through computational tools that allow establishing the structural response of the building, modeling its architecture and obtaining quantities of work for construction. The values obtained from the structural system are applied in the OpenLCA software as inputs and outputs of a process, where the life cycle analysis is executed based on the environmental impact categories established by the impact assessment method: CML-IA baseline and the European Life Cycle Reference Database (ELCD). Likewise, with the values obtained from the structural system, the PriMus software is used to determine the referential budget of the project, discretizing the quantities of work in prices. The purpose of this project determines the economic-environmental feasibility of a non-traditional structural system of bearing walls based on costs that generate a profit within the budget and the reduction of environmental impacts caused by the amount of construction materials used.
