Análisis comparativo de la resistencia a la compresión de bloques fabricados con PET como sustituto parcial de la piedra pómez (cascajo) y bloques con suelo arcilloso como sustituto parcial del agregado fino

Abstract

For the development of the present experimental project it was begun collecting samples of the aggregates necessary for the manufacture of the proposed blocks such as Piedra Pumice and the fine aggregate of block Gavilanes, the clay of the city of Puyo via al Tena Km 16, PET was obtained from the COVIPLAST Factory, and all materials were subjected to granulometric, absorption, density and Atterberg boundary tests in the case of clay in order to determine their physical and mechanical properties under ASTM and IN IN. In addition, dosages were made to the volume according to the percentage of each material for its later manufacture and curing of the blocks in order to obtain their resistance to the compression and weight of each one and thus to establish a comparison and the analysis of results to find the percentage Optimum for the manufacture of a block of good quality and complying with the requirements of the building.
