Aprovechamiento de tobas puzolánicas para la elaboración de baldosas y bloques como piezas ornamentales en la construcción.

Abstract

Abstract: The present work consists of the use pozzolanic tuffs for the elaboration of flagstone and ornamental blocks in construction, obtaining as a result the identification of 10 potential sectors in the hills of Guayanuma, Purunuma parish. With the performance of trials physical and chemical (fluorescence and X-ray diffraction) the pozzolanic material could be characterized, in order thus to achieve its evaluation in the application in concrete as its basic constituent; for it 36 cubic tests tube was elaborated in different dosages obtained as a result a resistance of 25.45 MPa at 28 days of setting with a replacement of 25% pozzolan 75% Cement. In the following project the use of new materials is determined, that can have their application in the industry toasting a new product among construction materials, and that is from sector profit. With this background came the need to perform an application of the material how it are, flagstone and blocks employing inorganic pigments for coloring and aesthetic improvement.
