Abstract
The experimental study focuses on the design, construction, and evaluation of a prefabricated roof component intended for implementation in housing. This modular component, which forms the roofed surface of the house, is made of conventional materials, including mortar and fired red bricks, the latter typically produced in the central plateau of Chiapas, Mexico. Its standard dimensions are 76 cm x 81 cm x 3 cm, with an average weight of 46 kilograms. Mechanical and thermal tests yielded significant results, demonstrating a robust structural capacity and favorable thermal performance of the prefabricated component. This positions it as a promising option for housing construction in the region. This innovative approach offers considerable potential to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of housing solutions in similar contexts, highlighting the importance of experimental research in optimizing materials and construction techniques within the housing sector.
