The past five decades have witnessed an unprecedented growth in population. This has led to ever-growing housing demand. It been proposed that the use of bio-based materials, and specifically bamboo, can help alleviate demand a sustainable manner. present paper aims assess environmental impact caused by using four different construction materials (bamboo, brick, concrete hollow block, engineered bamboo) buildings. A comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) was carried out measure single...
Bamboo is an excellent eco-friendly construction material because of its high renewable rate, embodied energy, reduction pollution, strength-to-weight ratio, and low cost. However, the use round bamboo limited variations in dimensions, properties, composition difficulty making connections. Laminated has potential to overcome these difficulties. Therefore, mechanical properties behavior connections need be established. In this research, dowel-bearing strength glued laminated Guadua...
This paper presents a study aimed to determine the cyclic performance of wood-frame shear walls sheathed with glued laminated Guadua bamboo (GLG) panels as first step evaluate their potential application. GLG-sheathed having 2:1 and 1:1 aspect ratios three different sheathing nail spacing were tested under conditions. Parameters, such peak strength, modulus, displacement ductility demand, energy dissipation walls, examined. Values for strength then compared those wood or wood-based panels....
Education infrastructure is one of the main barriers on school quality in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (L&MICs), since it insufficient unevenly distributed. Improving needed to provide a high-quality education environment. Although research how improve available, there still lack consistent systematic approach develop large-scale interventions at national or regional level. To fill this gap, we propose data-driven methodology with purpose developing prioritization carry out seismic...
School infrastructure affects the quality of education and performance children youth. Natural hazards such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, landslides, threaten critical school facilities. Additionally, problems related to functionality these facilities are common in region, an inadequate number classrooms, poor lighting, insufficient ventilation, among others. At a national level, decision-making process prioritize schools' interventions becomes even more challenging due limited...

The response of mid-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Mexico City after the 2017 Puebla Earthquake is assessed through combined field and computational investigation. Mw 7.1 earthquake damaged more than 500 where most them are classified as RC frames with infill walls. A multinational team from Colombia, Mexico, United States was rapidly deployed within a week occurrence event to investigate structural nonstructural damage levels over 60 2–12 stories. results study confirmed that...
Road structures undergo a series of chemical and physical processes once they are put into service. This phenomenon results from the action load influence environment, which causes their progressive deterioration. In order to mitigate risk deterioration guarantee stability durability, various maintenance tasks required, including visual inspections. The Intelligent Bridge Management System Colombia (SIGP) includes inspection as one its modules. system has been designed based on...
This paper summarizes the different activities undertaken in order to identify main causes of collapse Space Building, a 27-story reinforced concrete framed building Medellín, Colombia. Site investigations, field and laboratory tests, detailed analytical work including structural analysis under considerations were carried out. The cause was associated with deficient capacities columns relation dead service loads imposed at time collapse. occurrence high differential settlements, compressive...
Guadua angustifolia is a species of bamboo native to South America. The aim this study was accomplish experiments and finite-element simulations determine the stiffness two-culm G. beams, as typically used in construction low-rise buildings. Calculations were also accomplished find moment inertia (i.e. effective) assess beam deflections using solid mechanics formula that includes bending shear effects. First, full-scale tests simple culms performed with four different spans axial...
