Análisis comparativo entre un hormigón convencional en relación a uno reforzado con fibra de vidrio en pavimentos vehiculares

Abstract

The following academic article will provide the basis for a comparative analysis between conventional concrete and fiberglass reinforced concrete in the field of application would be in vehicular pavements. The main objective is to be able to collect data and subsequently analyze the mechanical properties and durability that the concrete will have after having placed fiberglass in its composition. In turn, test specimens of each type of concrete to be reviewed will be made to subject them to two types of tests, which would be: compression test and bending test. This will give us a better view of how much the capabilities of the concrete could be improved by adding this material. In turn, we want to expand the range of options for vehicular pavement, not only and not only simple concrete is used, but also certain variations of concrete that have improvements in their properties, adding different materials as would be the case of our article in question. Additionally, a cost-benefit analysis will be carried out to review whether the added cost of fiberglass to the initial construction is feasible against the benefits and durability that this concrete will have. If this academic article gives promising results and at a considerable height to leave the experimental area, its use is suggested and subsequent in-depth research into the analysis of properties and how it would behave in different types of climates.
