Análisis del fraguado y de la resistencia a la compresión de pastas de cemento sustituidas parcialmente por polvo cerámico

Abstract

The aim of this study is to propose the use of ceramic waste obtained form the Ecuadorian Company EDESA S. A. in the construction sector. Such wastes are sent to landfills in the city of Quito, and its use in construction would reduce the encironmental risks that such waste in this application consist of obtaining a #200 sieve particle size and adding this poder to the cement mixture in quantities of 5%, 7.5%,10%,12% and 15% in order to replace cement, later analyzing this new ceramic-cement mixture in accordance with hydraulic cements performance requirements under Ecuadorian NTE INEN 2380 standards, focused on testing compressive strength, air content of cement mortar, as well as determining setting time and autoclave expansion variations of the different cement pastes.
