Short Biography

Soy ingeniero civil (1997) graduado por la Universidad Nacional de San Agustín (Perú), en 2008 obtuve el grado de MSc en Formulación, Gestión y Evaluación de Proyectos de Inversión, la tesis presentada tuvo felicitaciones públicas, en 2015 me gradué de Doctor en Educación. Desde el año 2004 soy profesor de pregrado y a partir del 2010 en postgrado en diferentes universidades, actualmente soy docente nombrado en la facultad de ingeniería civil de la Universidad Nacional de San Agustín, formo parte de la unidad de investigación de la sección académica de construcción. Tengo interés en desarrollar investigaciones afines a la necesidad de vivienda en mi país y con los alumnos de la universidad venimos investigando sobre los nuevos materiales de construcción y mejorar la gestión en obras. En lo profesional desde el año 1997 estoy trabajando en ejecución de obras de infraestructura, esta experiencia de más de 20 años me permite entender la problemática para poder plantear alternativas de solución.

This research presents a methodological process for selecting the most appropriate construction technique for the reconstruction of housing after a seismic disaster in a rural and heritage context. This process, which is applicable to a large part of the Andean region, incorporates sustainability criteria to guarantee the economic, social and environmental balance of the intervention. The methodology was developed on a case study: the Colca Valley in Arequipa, Peru. In 2016 an earthquake affected this zone, where traditional unreinforced earthen buildings suffered serious damage. The objective of this research focuses on comparing six traditional building techniques strongly related to self-building: four techniques for adobe housing—reinforced with cane (CRA), wire mesh (WMRA), geogrid (GRA) and halyard ropes (HRRA)—and two techniques for masonry buildings— confined (CM) and reinforced (RM). For this purpose the authors used the Integrated Value Model for Sustainable Assessment (MIVES), a Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) model used to compare alternatives by assigning a “sustainability index” to each evaluated construction technique. This research study includes two types of variables: quantitative, such as economy ($/m2) and environmental impact (kgCO2/m2), among others, and qualitative, such as perception of safety, respect for the urban image and popular knowledge. The research results show that reinforced adobe techniques are a viable and competitive option, highlighting the cane reinforced adobe technique (CRA), with a value of 0.714 in relation to industrialized materials such as masonry. This technique has the same safety characteristics, but at almost half the price, with the additional advantage of using traditional materials and construction methods, having less environmental impact and showing better thermal performance in cold climates.
