Diseño de mezclas de suelo-cemento utilizando nano partículas como alternativa de una construcción ecológica.

Abstract

Abstract: In the construction industry, the process of elaboration and production of materials requires high amounts of energy, which translates into large amounts of contamination, under this problem, the present research work raises the alternative of ecological bricks which are mainly made with cement, sand and soil, through processes of low energy consumption and minimal industrialization, in addition to the use of these traditional materials, inclusions of MWCNTs dispersed in aqueous media were used such as: sodium naphthalene sulfonate (NSS) and calcium chloride (CC), which achieved a significant increase in the mechanical properties of the bricks, obtaining an increase of 57.5% and 32.5% in the uniaxial compressive strength of the bricks, respectively. Similarly, there was an increase in simple tensile strength of 54.3% for NSS and 47.82% for CC, identifying that MWCNTs work satisfactorily with soil-cement mixtures.
