Análisis técnico para la estabilización de cimentaciones mediante el aprovechamiento de agregados provenientes de cantera La Moquillada del cantón Las Lajas provincia del Oro.

Abstract

Abstract: In the past decade, the construction sector in Ecuador has made significant progress, necessitating the adaptation of concrete to meet new national standards and demands. This project focuses on developing specialized concretes through the efficient use of local stone aggregates, aiming to promote environmental sustainability and tailor the material to the specific civil conditions of the region. The concrete design is carried out using the American Concrete Institute (ACI) method, and material qualification tests adhere to Ecuadorian technical standards NTE INEN. Results show that the selected aggregates not only meet technical standards but also enable the production of concrete with a strength exceeding 21 MPa. Additionally, the effectiveness of the ACI 211.1-91 (trial and error) method is confirmed for adjusting material proportions, optimizing aggregate use. These findings provide a solid foundation for implementing concrete with stone materials from the Cantón Las Lajas, province of El Oro.
