Revisión y modificaciones recomendadas para el capítulo NEC-SE viviendas.

Abstract

This work is based on the proposal to improve the Ecuadorian Construction Standard (NEC). It focuses on the revision and modification of the housing chapter of that standard for its correct interpretation. Errors of form and location are detected in the document, based on a bibliographic review of other standards similar to the NEC and design guides of minor structures developed in other countries such as Mexico. This analysis is expected to achieve a better order and better layout to the current Ecuadorian standard in the housing chapter. It also seeks to avoid misinterpretations by builders, resident engineers and designers. The city of Guayaquil requires a specific standard for the problems of design and construction of the city, this is the main objective of the committee of the standard and all its collaborators (including the author of the present work).
