Influencia de la cantidad de ceniza de cáscara de café en mezclas de terrocemento para mejorar sus propiedades mecánicas y comportamiento termo-acústico

Abstract

Abstract:This preliminary study aims to provide a framework for using sustainable building materials, both structurally and environmentally, particularly in rural areas where resource scarcity and economic limitations hinder access to quality conventional materials. Given these conditions, it is crucial to find solutions that, in addition to being low-cost, improve the structural and environmental performance of buildings. To this end, the analysis focuses on evaluating the effect of different dosages of coffee husk ash in earth cement mixtures to enhance their mechanical properties. These mixtures will then undergo thermal and acoustic testing. This approach allows for the verification of an ecologically viable and low-impact design, while simultaneously fulfilling the need to build technical knowledge that promotes the use of regional materials and encourages the adoption of more sustainable, efficient, and contextually relevant architecture.
