Resumen En este estudio se presenta la caracterización y evaluación de la actividad puzolánica de dos materiales volcánicos procedentes de dos depósitos volcánicos Colombianos (Volcán Puracé y Nevado del Tolima). Estos materiales fueron analizados mediante diversas técnicas de caracterización, la aptitud de los materiales volcánicos como puzolanas y el efecto de la molienda en su reactividad, se evaluó por medio del Índice de Actividad Puzolánica (IAP), ensayo de Frattini. Los resultados indican que el MVP presenta un IAP de 77,51% y se ubica en la zona reactiva de la curva de Frattini, características que permiten clasificar este material como una puzolana natural. En cuanto al MVT los resultados indicaron que químicamente no reaccionó, pero generó un índice de resistencia de 92,36% respecto a la muestra patrón, características de un material inerte que por efecto filler permite el desarrollo de resistencias mecánicas. Por otra parte, también se evidenció que no existe un efecto significativo del proceso de molienda en la reactividad de estos materiales.
This article presents results of a research about the effect to incorporate Colombian volcanic materials as a replacement of ordinary Portland cement on its hydration process. For this particular case were used Tolima volcanic material (TVM) and Puracé volcanic material (PVM). Pastes with 100% ordinary Portland cement and blended cement pastes containing 20% by of weight volcanic materials were prepared. The monitoring and identification of the hydration characteristics were carried out using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at 7, 28, 90 and 360 curing days. The results indicated that the main phases of the blended cement pastes containing PVM were ettringite and calcium silicate hydrate (CSH), which confirmed the pozzolanic activity of this material. The blended cement pastes containing TVM exhibited no significant differences in hydration products compared to the reference pastes, due to its inert nature.
