Evaluación de las propiedades mecánicas de bloques de concreto con inclusión de gránulos de caucho fibras de acero

Abstract

In order to present an alternative method of environmental impact mitigation generated by the tires out of use, the following research was performed. In which it is proposed the use of rubber granules with steel fbers in the manufacture of concrete blocks, to later analyze and compare the acquired mechanical properties with those of a block of artisanal manufacturing, for this we will base on its dosage and manufacturing methodology. The results show that the concrete blocks with the inclusion of this new material, replacing 5% of its fne aggregate, have better behavior with the mechanical properties tests carried out in this research, indicating that it is a viable technology for future research.
