The huge increase in production of construction and demolition waste (CDW) worldwide is leading to the valorisation of as recycled aggregates. One of the most promising alternatives is its use as a recycled aggregate in the manufacture of structural concrete, which motivates the study of the dynamic behaviour of these materials in order to ensure their suitability for use in elements subjected to dynamic loads. This work evaluated the resonant compressive fatigue behaviour of structural concretes with 25% or 50% recycled mixed aggregates, either individually or in combination with 25% recycled cement of clay-based materials both from CDW. All mixes were subjected to compressive fatigue tests using the accelerated Locati method. Regarding the fatigue limit, the results showed that for all mixes, it was between 30% and 45% of the compressive strength. In addition, a correlation was also found between the resonance frequency of the test and the deformation suffered by the specimen. This correlation enabled the estimation of the fatigue limit through a more stable parameter than the strain measured by strain gauges, namely, the resonance frequency. In addition, it was found that the resonance frequency of the test changed as the specimen damage increased. This observation enabled the estimation of the fatigue limit through a more stable parameter than the strain measured by strain gauges, namely, the resonance frequency.
En el presente trabajo, correspondiente a la tesis doctoral en curso, se darán a conocer algunos resultados de ensayos mecánicos y físicos de distintos tipos de morteros de geopolímeros y de cemento, cuya finalidad es ser utilizados como material aditivo en una impresora 3D, tipo contour crafting. Los morteros de geopolímeros empleados se componen de fly ash, como precursor, disolución alcalina, como activador, árido calizo, vidrio triturado y conchas marinas, como árido y aditivos. Los morteros de cemento, como su nombre lo indica, se componen de cemento, adiciones, aditivos y distintos áridos (arena caliza, vidrio triturado y conchas marinas). Los ensayos mecánicos corresponden a flexión y compresión en probetas prismáticas de 4 x 4 x 16 cm. Los morteros de geopolímero fueron curados en diferentes condiciones (a temperatura ambiente, en agua -de mar y de grifo- y en estufa a 40 ºC) y se expusieron a diferentes ambientes (ambiente de laboratorio e inmersos en agua); en tanto que los morteros de cemento se curaron a temperatura ambiente y en agua (de mar y de grifo). Se imprimieron elementos de diferentes tamaños, formas y complejidades para comprobar su efectividad como material aditivo, obteniéndose comportamientos satisfactorios. Los resultados mecánicos muestran que los morteros siguen adquiriendo resistencia hasta los 90 días, para cementos y 60 días para geopolímeros; estos últimos presentan menor resistencia comparados con los cementos, los cuales registraron valores entorno a los 70 MPa para los que contienen árido calizo y vidrio triturado, curados en agua.
