Estudio de mampuestos a base de la reutilización de desechos producto de demoliciones encontrados en los diferentes botaderos del cantón Ambato, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

Due to the problem currently presented by the excessive contamination of waste product of the demolition of the construction and to try to reduce costs for the material of the manufacture of the masonry. The present experimental work began by visiting some dumps that accumulate waste from demolitions for collection, the white powder was obtained from the San José mine located on the Vía a Pujilí, then the recycled material was crushed in the Arias Mine, located on the Vía to Aguaján, once the material was obtained, several granulometric, absorption and density tests were carried out on all the materials under the INEN standards in the Laboratory of Soil Mechanics and Materials Testing of the Faculty of Civil and Mechanical Engineering of the Technical University of Ambato. Subsequently, the masonry was dosed using the optimal density method. The compressive strength tests were carried out at 14 and 28 days of age, while the impact resistance tests at 28 days. The compressive strength was 3.78Mpa in common masonry, and in the masonry with total replacement, 8.11Mpa was obtained, thus determining an increase of 53.39 percent. It was also observed that in the impact test, the higher percentage of substitution the masonry had, the less damage it presented. Finally, it was deduced that the higher the substitution percentage, the greater the weight of the masonry and the lower its water absorption capacity.
