Evaluación del hormigón elaborado con piedra de dos canteras ubicadas en la provincia del Guayas

Abstract

This study comparatively evaluates the performance of concretes made with Roca Azul and Caliza coarse aggregates, from quarries in the Guayas province, Ecuador. The main objective was to analyze the influence of the properties of these aggregates on the development of concrete compressive strength. The experimental methodology included the physical and mechanical characterization of the aggregates, as well as the determination of the compressive strength of the resulting concretes.
