Key Points

  • The research aims to identify how a quality management model can reduce pathologies in concrete elements used in housing construction.
  • Experimental design with a quantitative methodology and a sample size of 19 houses.
  • Focused on the cause-effect relationship between quality management practices and concrete pathologies.
  • Incorporated standardized control measures in the manufacturing and construction processes.
  • Showed a significant reduction in concrete pathologies in beams and columns after implementing quality management practices.
  • Demonstrated that adhering to technical standards in construction leads to fewer structural issues.
  • Outlined the importance of standardized control in improving the overall quality of concrete elements.

Abstract

The topic discussed in this research was the reduction of pathologies in concrete elements (beams and columns) in a housing project in the city of Quito, through a quality management model, for this purpose, a quantitative methodology was used because the sample size could be determined and its research design was experimental, because the cause-effect relationship between two or more variables or phenomena is explained with a subcategory of action research, with a transversal research section. This research was developed in the private housing construction project “Los Arupos” located in the parish of Calderón, Carapungo sector, located north of the city of Quito DM, capital of Ecuador-South America. As a general conclusion, based on the results obtained from the study of the 19 houses, which aimed to verify a reduction in pathologies in concrete elements (beams and columns) through a quality management model, it can be stated that with adequate standardized control in the manufacturing and construction of concrete elements that enforces technical standards, there will be a reduction in the occurrence of pathologies in hardened concrete.
