    Análisis del efecto de la adición de emulsión asfáltica y cemento portland en suelos de subbase clase 3
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2024-02) Flores Curay, Mara Alexandra; Bayas Altamirano, Myriam Marisol
    This study analyzed the effect that a granular material such as class 3 subbase has when adding Slow Break Cationic Asphalt Emulsion type CSS-1h and Portland Cement, with the objective of improving the bearing capacity of the subbase. Every engineering project is based on the soil, which is why it must comply with minimum parameters, resulting in the need to stabilize the soil. The analysis of the physical-mechanical properties of the granular material was carried out through laboratory tests, verifying that they meet the acceptance criteria of the MTOP for a class 3 subbase; The values obtained for maximum dry density, optimal humidity and CBR support capacity of the samples were analyzed by adding 1, 3, 5 and 8 percent of asphalt emulsion, determining the optimal percentage, the analysis of the values was repeated, but with optimal percentage of asphalt emulsion plus Portland cement percentages of 3, 6, 9 and 12 percent. With the results obtained, the design of flexible pavements was developed for the soil in its natural state as well as for the stabilized one, in order to analyze and contrast costs which are affected by the thicknesses of each layer that constitutes the structure of the pavement. Finally, the combination of 3 percent asphalt emulsion plus 5.7 percent Portland cement provides up to 61.70 percent stabilization of the soil, notably improving its bearing capacity, comparing the results with the added stabilizers.

    Análisis comparativo de las propiedades físicas de aluminosilicatos en relación con el cemento puzolánico tipo IP
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2021-02) Ramos Peñafiel, Ramiro Fabian; Medina Robalino, Wilson Santiago
    The present investigation was initiated with the acquisition of natural zeolite in rock and sprayed in different deposits, for this investigation the classification of zeolite was determined according to ASTM C 618, the material used is a natural puzolana. Subsequently, manual and mechanical crushing of this mineral was continued until the desired fineness was obtained; The tests necessary for the characterization of the physical properties of IP-type cement and natural zeolite were then carried out, and the determination of the actual density of cement and zeolite was started as indicated in ASTM C 188 - NTE INEN 156. The test was then carried out to determine the fineness of these materials by dry sieving using the 150 microns sieve (No. 100) following the procedure of NTE INEN 489. To perform the chemical analysis Electronic Scanning Microscopy and X-ray scattering spectroscopy (SEM, EDS) of IP-type cement and natural zeolite, powder samples were taken from each material, This allows me to determine its morphology and components at an energy of 15 kilo electron boy (keV) with a level in detail of 2000 increases and in high vacuum mode (HV). The results obtained from the physical and chemical properties show the feasibility of this mineral (aluminosilicates) as a material with interesting cementing characteristics to partially replace cement.

    Estudio de las propiedades físicas de zeolita natural (aluminosilicato) de tipo clinoptilolita para remplazo parcial del cemento portland
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2021-01) Salcedo Rivera, Verónica Elizabeth; Coello Fiallos, Diana Carolina
    This study shows physical and chemical characteristics of natural zeolites (ZN) called ZA, ZZ, ZI from outcrops of the Chongón Colonche Mountain range located in the Guayas province of Ecuador and of the cement Type GU (CGU) for commercial use, with the purpose to determine if they can be supplemental cement material (SCM). Physical characteristics (density and fineness applying INEN and ASTM standards), morphological characteristics in the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and elemental composition are determined by X-ray scattering spectroscopy (EDS). Prior to the tests, the samples that require grinding are prepared to obtain granules smaller than 75 microns. Densities of 3,071, 2,449, 2,511 and 2,494 grams per cubic centimeter and fineness percentages of 99.95, 99.04, 99.51, and 99.35 are obtained for CGU, ZA, ZZ and ZI, respectively. The experimental results, SEM micrographs and EDS spectra reveal that all samples have potential as SCM, highlighting ZA and ZZ with characteristics closer to CGU. All have a high pozzolanic capacity in the content of silica, alumina and iron oxide, exceeding the minimum specified by the ASTM C 618 standard. On the other hand, the siliconaluminum ratio between 2.67 and 4.83 shows the presence of clinoptilolites that have demonstrated efficacy as SCM. The compatibility in terms of its structure, sizes and chemical composition is obvious, however, for subsequent studies it should be taken into account that CGU cement is highly silicic compared to other cements used in studies with zeolites.

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2021-01) Fernández Álvarez, Ramiro Paul; Ureña Aguirre, Maritza Elizabeth
    Since cement is a natural or artificial material present in almost all the buildings in the world, it is normal to say that it is the consumer of large amounts of natural resources and emitter of carbon dioxide, so there is a need to find a substitute of cement for sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. In the Civil Engineering laboratories, the physical (morphology, density, grain size, fineness) and chemical properties of the aluminosilicates ZA, ZI, ZZ (zeolites) of the canton of Guayaquil were compared with those of Selva Alegre IP cement. Apply the density test using the NTE INEN-156 standard, obtaining values of ZZ equal to 2,514, ZI equal to 2,485, and ZA equal to 2,445 grams on cubic centimeter by pycnometer calibration and other values of ZZ equal to 2,353, ZI equal at 2,233, and ZA equal to 2,408 grams per cubic centimeter at room temperature, which indicate that the density of the zeolite is very variable. I present the final percentages of fineness according to NTE INEN-489 of the samples of ZZ equal to 99.51, ZA equal to 99.04, ZI equal to 99.35, which are optimal in constructions and are compared with the percentage of IP cement equal to 99.72, grinding and granulometric graphs are also presented as an additional contribution to the investigation. On the other hand, the morphological and chemical characterization is indicated, by microscopy, the EDS showed a homogeneous distribution of elements of the zeolites with respect to the cement, but a heterogeneous quantity in percentages of each element. Defined cubic crystalline structures and other amorphous forms with dimensions from 1 to 20 microns were observed in the SEM of IP cement, differing from ZZ, ZI, ZA that presented crystals with irregular surfaces and undefined, elongated and polyhedral structures with dimensions ranging from 1 to 50 microns. The final results of the physical and chemical tests show the feasibility of using these aluminosilicates as a material with potential cementing characteristics to be a substitute for Selva Alegre IP Portland cement.

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2020) Romero Yanzapanta, Andrés Paúl; Ureña Aguirre, Maritza Elizabeth
    This experimental work was carried out with land extracted from The Putzalahua Hill, which was analyzed by the Peruvian E0.80 standard as indicated by the NEC, laboratory tests were also carried out to obtain soil type, soil conditions and soil composition for adobe manufacturing. The traditional adobe blocks were developed in compliance with E0.80, the resistance of adobe blocks with an average value of 1.502MPa greater than indicated in the standard was checked, after the drying of the block, the resistance to contact with water in which the blocks do not resist, disintegrate, cracks and fissures are generated. Adobe blocks covered with tuna penca sap were made, resting for 7, 14 and 18 days; adobe blocks were also coated with cement in percentages of 5, 10 and 12.5 percent, in which very good results were observed, the coated adobe blocks were not disintegrated, in the absorption and suction tests. In tuna sap coating at 18 days reaches a suction of 22.66 gr/min/area with a capillary ascent of 1.08cm, and an absorption of 24.14 percent, because tuna penca sap decreases porosity, coated blocks also suffer a volumetric variation of 5.2 percent. Cement percentage coated blocks also withstand suction and absorption tests, cement at 12.5 per cent in suction was obtained a value of 48.05gr/min/area, the blocks absorb 36.04 per cent, and suffer a variation of 5.0 percent, but in contact with water they last better than traditional blocks. Finally, adobe walls coated with tuna sap were scaled at 14 days, 18 days and walls coated with cement percentages of 10 and 12.5 per cent; which were compared in the simulated flood test, the uncoated wall resists 1 hour 45 minutes collapses, while the walls covered with tuna sap 14 days resist 5 days and the wall with tuna sap 14 days resist 6 days without collapse, the walls covered with 10 per cent of cement and 12.5 per cent resist 7 days and 5 days respectively.

    Correlación entre las propiedades físico-mecánicas del mortero de cemento Portland y el mortero de cal estabilizado con almidón de arroz
    (2020) Pico Sánchez, Víctor Alejandro; Portilla Yandún, Favio Paúl
    This paper investigates the incidence of rice starch applied to a lime mortar, in addition to replicating the process used in the construction of the Chinese wall, dosing a mortar that accomplish the specifications of “O” type glue mortar of 24 Kilograms per square centimeter at 28 days. For that reason the dosage of three types of mortars was carried out: normal lime mortar (1:2 dosage) MNC 1:2, lime mortar stabilized with sticky rice (1:2 dosage) MCEA 1:2 and cement mortar (dosage 1:5) MCP 1:5. The partial replacement of rice starch in the volume of water of the mash is crucial to determine the optimum percentage of rice starch to be used. A range of 0,5 percent to 4,0 percent of additive was used, with variation of 0,5 percent being subjected to compression tests each lime mortar with that variation of additive to identify the optimal percentage. The inclusion of rice starch in the lime mortar increases the compressive strength by the chemical reaction that occurs between calcium carbonate (hydraulic lime) and amylopectin being an abundant component in rice. The lime mortar stabilized with rice starch MCEA 1:2 has a resistance of 25,52 Kilograms per square centimeter so that accomplish the characteristics of a mortar of glue “O” type that have 24 Kilograms per square centimeter at 28 days.
