Confining elements: walls and tie elements.

Educational material produced by SDC in the project "From disaster to dignity", implemented by EcoSur Ecuador after the earthquake in Pedernales, province of Manabí. This film is an additional didactic material to the "Guide for the construction of houses in confined masonry", part of the practical-theoretical training package developed during the project for the use of masons and builders. It explains, in a simple way, key aspects for the construction of earthquake resistant houses with confined masonry of up to two floors.
