Evaluación experimental de las características mecánicas de matrices cementicias con adición de cáscara de huevo pulverizado deshidratado y sus aplicaciones en la arquitectura

Abstract

With the need to obtain construction materials that are aware of the excessive exploitation of minerals, it is intended to create an additive based on the eggshell, studying the processing and chemical characterization of the same, which will be replaced in a percentage of the cement. To produce ash, it should be calcined, thus eliminating all harmful organic matter inside the mortars. With the evaluation of the components of the cement and the eggshell crude and calcined, by means of a pistol of efflorescence of X-rays; The results obtained determined the presence of Calcium Oxide (CaO); with this data the difference between the cement is established It has a large percentage of CaCO3 and eggshell which is a living lime conglomerate, able to unite various materials and give cohesion to the mortar. The ash obtained from egg shells is considered useful for brick or plaster joints; another consideration is to enhance quicklime as paint for walls or facades of adobe or tapial for being highly resistant to fire.
