A minimum building information unit for immediate response in disaster situations
Highlights We propone a procedure to train people for building a reciprocal frame structure. System assemble with almost no tools and with just prismatic elements of the same size. System build using local materials and in situ training is sufficient for building small temporary facilities. A minimum set of information enables anyone to generate a shelter within minutes.
Abstract This document describes an immediate field approach to generate reciprocal frame shelters, which could be assemble after an emergency. Most approaches for generating a cover or a shelter promote that assistant comes from external resources in form of complete products ready to install. This approximation could be improved since emergencies occurs in place where people are not prepared with support facilities (schools, hospitals or other), stock of goods, packages of shelters near the event nor have the time to wait for aid to arrive. Thus, providing people with the construction abilities to produce their own facilities in terms of a provisional structure that would improve their recovery time and resilience capabilities. The contributions of this paper are validating a minimum information unit used to generate a shelter in a disaster context, to propose a construction paradigm that uses no layout and to aim to generate a set of buildings skills that resemble a “first aid skill set”.
