Evaluation of the use of bamboo as an alternative building material for the construction of social housing
Bamboo has been recommended as an alternative building material for the construction of social housing, as it presents the same quality as conventional materials and may potentially reduce building costs. However, further studies are needed on its potential uses and limitations. The aim of this stud...

However, further studies are needed on its potential uses and limitations. The aim of this study is to assess the use of bamboo in structural and roof elements, and in insulation panels of a low-cost house built in Maceió, Brazil. Technical analysis results and thermal comfort parameters were compared to the users’ perceptions. The study also included a literature review, and the participation of the authors in the construction of house – from bamboo harvesting to actual construction works. A post-occupancy evaluation was carried out through interviews and questionnaires with the user and neighbours. It is suggested that bamboo can be considered as a suitable building material for social housing in Brazil.

Positive results, which include the acceptance of this type of building by the user population, require knowledge on care and maintenance, which are unique for this building material. O bambu vem sendo apontado como um material alternativo adequado para ser utilizado na construção de habitações de interesse social, em função do seu potencial de reduzir custos, oferecendo o mesmo nível de qualidade das tecnologias convencionais. Entretanto, ainda existe necessidade de estudos mais aprofundados sobre a sua utilização e posterior divulgação dos mesmos, visando a difundir suas possibilidades de utilização assim como suas limitações. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar uma habitação de interesse social, construída na cidade de Maceió, AL, executada com a utilização do bambu em elementos de cobertura e de painéis de vedação, através da comparação da análise técnica e parâmetros de conforto ambiental à percepção dos usuários, diagnosticando aspectos construtivos, funcionais e de conforto ambiental. A metodologia envolveu uma pesquisa bibliográfica e também a participação na execução da habitação em estudo, desde a retirada dos bambus no local de plantio até a construção da unidade. Fez-se uma avaliação pós-ocupação da habitação, utilizando como instrumentos metodológicos entrevistas e questionários com o morador e com a comunidade circunvizinha. Observou-se que o bambu pode ser considerado uma alternativa viável para a habitação de interesse social no Brasil. A maior parte dos pontos negativos detectados diz respeito a problemas técnico-projetuais, que podem ser facilmente eliminados com pequenas intervenções. Para que se tenha um resultado positivo, incluindo a aceitação desse tipo de habitação por parte da população usuária, é importante a capacitação dos envolvidos em relação aos cuidados e à manutenção peculiares a este material alternativo.

Bamboo has been recommended as an alternative building material for the construction of social housing, as it presents the same quality as conventional materials and may potentially reduce building costs. However, further studies are needed on its potential uses and limitations.

Technical analysis results and thermal comfort parameters were compared to the users’ perceptions. The study also included a literature review, and the participation of the authors in the construction of house – from bamboo harvesting to actual construction works.

Most of the negative aspects are related to technical design problems, which can be easily solved applying minor interventions. Positive results, which include the acceptance of this type of building by the user population, require knowledge on care and maintenance, which are unique for this building material. |
