Abstract:

Cardboard tubes are cylindrical elements produced from wood pulp. The use of these cylindrical elements in the building trade has been with studies on the use of paper in architecture. The integration of cardboard tubes into different production systems has also expanded their usage areas. Light, durable, economic, easy to apply, superior insulation and recyclable material properties of the building system are important alternatives for the urgent and safe building need that emerges after an earthquake. Although weakness to fire and water appears to be the negative features of cardboard tube systems, it is possible to eliminate these disadvantages with additional precautions. Cardboard tube systems, which have not yet been used widely in the building trade but have a wide application potential, are analyzed in the study. The use of cardboard tube systems in the architectural field has been given systematically in the historical process, and then the techniques for the construction process of the system are mentioned. The important applications of Shigeru Ban, one of the pioneers of the use of cardboard tube systems in the architectural field, for the building trade were considered within the scope of the study. Ban's temporary earthquake house design was applied in our country after the Düzce earthquake. It is expected that the obtained data will eliminate the lack of resources in Turkish language in the field and constitude a substructure for researchers on the subject.
