Influencia del aditivo plastificante para aumentar la resistencia a la compresión del hormigón hidráulico con f’c 240 kg/cm2 usando materiales de las minas La Milagrosa y La Josefina ubicadas en la provincia del Azuay

Abstract

This study was carried out with the objective of exploring the impact of Sika BV 40 plasticizing admixture on the compressive strength of hydraulic concrete. The research methodology adopted was applied, quantitative and practical in nature. To carry out these experiments, a total of 72 test cylinders were manufactured. Of these, 12 were made of concrete with 0%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% admixture, respectively, and 24 were made of concrete with 0.7% admixture, to which the amount of water was reduced. Finally, a statistical analysis was carried out to compare the concrete compressive strengths at 7, 14 and 28 days.
