Análisis de la Resistencia al Desgaste y Tracción indirecta de adoquín reforzado con fibra de caucho

Abstract

The present thesis aimed to evaluate the various proportions of rubber fiber in the concrete mix for a molecularly modified paver in order to achieve that it meets the wear, absorption and indirect traction tests as a normal specimen, through research continues in national digital forums, papers provided at the university and through laboratory tests and the standards of the INEN 3040 2015 and INEN 3040 2016 standards in which the materials, properties, requirements and test methodologies of precast concrete pavers are specified not armed. The evaluation of the final product shows that the component used as an additive replacement did not have the expected acceptance in large quantities when it was used in the mixture, thus establishing that the best option is to add the product in the lowest percentage, the strategy was used of attributive and quantitative work, supported by the detailed examination of effects in the laboratory, uncontrolled inquiry, inductive exploration, among other methods to support the development of each of the points designed for the development of the analysis of resistance to wear and traction indirect paving stone reinforced with rubber fiber. It was possible to establish a correlation between technique and science within the topic addressed and it is evidenced that rubber fiber can be used in low proportions in conjunction with cement to achieve similar results, comparing it with a mixture of normal characteristics.
