Estabilización de una matriz terrosa con puzolanas naturales y cal hacia aplicaciones constructivas

Abstract

Abstract: Construction with earth in recent years has been revalued for its characteristics of climatic comfort, minimal environmental impact and economically accessible; modernization and industrialization of this type of construction has allowed the growth of interest in developing research that contributes to improving the behavior of an earthy matrix exposed to inclement weather avoiding erosion. The supplementary elements cementitious materials have gained vital importance and can be used as an alternative for replacement of clinker or cement; Within these elements, pozzolans are analyzed natural that have been used satisfactorily for their pozzolanic reactivity within a matrix with the objective of reducing porosity. The results obtained have shown satisfactory qualities for the earthy matrix with the addition of natural pozzolana decreasing the permeability or absorption of water and improving the properties of compression resistance of the matrix, by combining the earth with the natural pozzolana, reinforces sustainable construction by lowering the gas emission rate and spending energy, becoming an alternative and competitive construction before the industry cement factory.
