Alternativas de uso a nivel de laboratorio de material sintético para estabilización de taludes y otras aplicaciones en obras civiles

Abstract

Abstract: The present work focuses on the use of synthetic materials, specifically recycled plastic, for the elaboration of engineering works as stabilization methods, in this way, the use of new raw materials is used to replace the traditional ones, mainly concrete. The materials were separated based on the type of plastic, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), after which they were processed, so that the particles were small enough for their casting to be effective and they can be formed. the specimens and beams for study in the laboratory, through tests where the resistance properties of these elements are analyzed, both to compression and to bending, which determine their behavior in a structural design.
