Diseño de mezcla de concreto celular para bloques en tabiquería con una resistencia de 2 Mpa

Abstract

In Ecuador, the use of concrete blocks in partition walls increases the dead load of structures, requiring adjustments in structural elements. This study proposes the use of cellular concrete as an alternative to reduce weight and meet strength standards. Cellular concrete mixes were designed, and experimental tests were conducted to evaluate compressive strength. The optimal density providing the required strength of 2 MPa was determined.
