Hormigón reforzado con fibras de bagazo de caña de azúcar aplicado como baldosa

Abstract

The research topic described below focuses on the study of concrete reinforced with sugar cane bagasse fibers applied as tiles in which it is sought to analyze the mechanical behavior of concrete tiles with respect to resistance to bending, (NTE INEN 0660, 1992) (NTE INEN 500, 2014) and (UNE-EN 1339, 2004), for which composite samples of natural fiber concrete were prepared where the fibers Presented a random distribution and dispersed within the compound. The study allowed to determine that the probes with addition of fiber in length of 50 mm, added to 1% with respect to the weight of the aggregates, have a maximum flexural strength of 4.14 MPa tested at 28 days, and water absorption at 5.81%, improving its resistance compared to the test specimens, also allowing an increase in the ductility at the moment of rupture, thus controlling cracking by plastic retraction and weathering in it´s solid state.
