    Mockup of Prefabricated Clt modules for small Social condos: Evaluation of Machining, Manufacturing, Assembly, and Performance for Standardization in Chile
    (World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE), 2025) Ugarte Gurruchaga, Juan José; Armanet Mena, Gerardo Pablo; Ugarte Alamos, Juan José; Sierra Martínez, Andrés; Romero, Jorge; Carcamo Chavez, Sebastian; Vásquez Zaldívar, Claudio; González Alliende, María Jesús; Graves Durán, Daphne; Cifuentes Fernandez, Francisco Javier; Marcone, Fernando
    Due to the growing housing deficit, Chile developed an initiative to densify well-located 9x18 meter lots through "small social housing condominiums." So, the question arises: What can we improve from industrialization to make this opportunity more efficient, better, and more massive? This work arises from the observation that the main gaps in the awarding of subsidies in this country are the speed of response from the executors, construction times, insecurity in the neighborhoods, access to qualified labor, quality of construction, and flexibility in design. In response to these gaps, the "Industrialized Building 4 CLT modules" proposesapermanent stock of prefabricated housing, more than 90% prefabrication of the works, zero storage on site, maximum productivity in manufacturing lines, quality control in the factory and flexible modular design.

    Numerical simulation of natural convection and phase-change in a horizontal Bridgman apparatus
    (2011) Celentano, Diego; Cruchaga, Marcela; Romero, Jorge; El Ganaoui, Mohammed
    Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to present a 2D numerical simulation of natural convection and phase-change of succinonitrile in a horizontal Bridgman apparatus. Three different heat transfer mechanisms are specifically studied: no growth, solidification and melting.
