Round Eucalypt Structure and Wall Subsystem of Single-family Residence

ABSTRACT

The interface between the structural system of round eucalyptus and the wall subsystem requires specific details for each type of wall. As a contribution to the necessary development of more sustainable construction techniques, the purpose of this research was to present a case study of a single-family house consisting of round log eucalyptus (main structure), wood slabfloors and walls of wattle-and-daub and compressed earth blocks, by analyzing the behavior of the interfaces after two and a half years of the work completion. Performance evaluation of the subsystems is based on data collected from the plans, drawings and photographs, as well as from on-site direct observation. With this evaluation it is possible to identify the necessary care and point out more adequate construction solutions for this type of case.

Keywords:
building subsystems interfaces; more sustainable techniques; wattle-anddaub.
