Incremento de la resistencia mecánica de un compuesto a base de materiales suplementarios al cemento. Recuperación y uso de CaCO3 de conchas marinas y SiO2 de ceniza de bagazo de caña de azúcar

Abstract

Abstract:This work show the experimentation and development of a compound formed by recycled materials from sea waste [sea shells] and waste from sugar mills [sugarcane bagasse ash] that are recovered and artificially treated in the formation of a cement matrix to apply in building construction. In chapter one a description of the construction materials is given, and an approximation of the application of the materials forming the compound, both as replacement or additions to Portland cement. Then chapter two exposes the methodology, processes, equipment used for the experimental phase in the laboratory. The binary mixture between sea shell ashes (CCM) and sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBC) was made in different percentages 70-30; 60-40; 50-50; 40-60; 30-70 respectively, the mechanical properties of compression, abrasion and water absorption of the processed compound were evaluated. The results show that the best combination between (CCM) and (SCBC) is 70-30, respectively, qualifying it as a low resistance mortar according to the ASTM C270 Standard.
