Diseño y elaboración de adoquines hexagonales con la utilización de material reciclado de pavimento

Abstract

In search of a sustainable solution for urban-rural paving and waste reduction, experimental work is presented with the purpose of designing and producing hexagonal pavers with recycled pavement aggregates, obtained through the milling process, that can achieve resistance to indirect traction of 3.6 MPa. These pavers were made using this material as fine and coarse aggregate. Consequently, laboratory tests were carried out in order to evaluate the physical-mechanical properties of the materials, following the corresponding standards of the NTE INEN, obtaining base parameters for the mixture design that was used in the manufacture of pavers. 60 pavers were made and cured for 28 days. They were tested under indirect traction and wear (Böhme method). The results of the indirect tensile test showed compliance with the individual tensile strength with values greater than (2.9MPa) and as for the wear test, an average maximum value of 16468.17 mm3/5000 mm2 was obtained.
