El creciente agotamiento de los recursos naturales y el aumento de la actividad industrial está llevando al sector de la construcción hacia la búsqueda de nuevos materiales más respetuosos con el medio ambiente. En este trabajo se ha realizado una campaña experimental para conocer las propiedades físicas y mecánicas de los morteros de cemento elaborados con chamota, con la intención de estudiar su viabilidad técnica en comparación con los morteros elaborados con árido natural. Los resultados muestran como el empleo de los residuos cerámicos triturados como sustitución del árido natural para la fabricación de morteros es viable. No obstante, las resistencias mecánicas finales de los morteros se ven reducidas al emplear áridos reciclados, así como, se presentan unas peores propiedades físicas que podrían limitar el empleo de estos morteros en obra.AbstractThe growing depletion of natural resources and the increase in industrial activity is leading the construction sector to search for new materials that are more respectful of the environment. In this work, an experimental program has been carried out to know the physical and mechanical properties of cement mortars made with chamotte, with the intention of studying its technical feasibility in comparison with mortars made with natural aggregate. The results show how the use of crushed ceramic waste as a substitute for natural aggregate for the manufacture of mortars is viable. However, the final mechanical resistance of the mortars is reduced when using recycled aggregates from chamotte, as well as worse physical properties that could limit the use of these mortars on site.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
