Análisis comparativo de costos del concreto reciclado y su incorporación en el sector de la construcción.

Abstract

The main purpose of construction of civil works is to satisfy the basic needs of the population, improving the environment and significantly improving the quality of life. In spite of this, this benefit is overshadowed by the environmental liability that comes from the inadequate management of waste, product of the different stages in the construction processes; mainly demolition debris, since in many cases they are given an inadequate final disposition, ending, deposited without a control on lands that are not suitable for this activity, causing an environmental, visual and social impact for the city. For this reason, the possibility of using and incorporating recycled concrete technology in the construction sector was proposed, as through the process of crushing, separating and classifying debris (concrete); it is possible to obtain substitute materials for using as aggregates, be coarse or fine in the mixture of new concretes with low loads; reducing to a large extent the use of aggregate objects of the substitution, and possibly investment costs in the purchase of these materials, thus opening the possibility of generating a synthesis of final incorporation, in a new use and exploitation of this type of waste.
