Influencia de la granulometría de cenizas de bagazo de caña de azúcar (5% de adición) en la resistencia a la compresión y propiedades físicas de materiales compuestos de matriz terrosa

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of the granulometry of sugarcane bagasse ash, incorporated at 5% with respect to the earthen matrix, on mechanical, physical, thermal, and acoustic properties. Adobe specimens were produced using untreated ash, classified into different granulometric levels. The methodology includes granulometric and chemical characterization of the ashes by means of X-ray fluorescence, as well as the characterization of the soil and the dosages used. The study reports that all specimens obtained a strength lower than the minimum stipulated by regulations. Fine granulometry, specifically that retained on sieve No.100, caused greater changes in the behavior of the material, increasing water absorption, thermal energy flow, and reducing airborne noise transmission, because of structural modifications of the matrix.
