Evaluación de la incorporación de Tereftalato de polietileno (PET) reciclado y Furcraea andina (Fique) en la producción de concreto.

Abstract

The construction processes of a building mainly consist of the structure, in which each design element adheres to established standards that must be followed in full compliance with existing design regulations. Based on this, a series of tests will be conducted to measure the consistency of specimens. Through the implementation of new materials, an appropriate behavior will be determined, generating greater strength in buildings, depending on each element of the factors for structural analysis and planning. This aims to bring about a beneficial transformation in the construction industry, leading to a drastic reduction in the influence of contaminating factors due to the different aggregates and components used in industrial concrete production. Similarly, it aims to enhance the mechanical properties in concrete production, seeking sustainable materials that contribute differently to the development of industrialized processes and structural construction. Once the concrete mix is prepared, it will be cast into beams and cylinders, where it will be allowed to cure for a specified time according to seismic-resistant regulations. Furthermore, after reaching the curing days for the mix in the cylinders and beams, they will be subjected to compression and flexural testing machines to assess their performance and strength in relation to the concrete, plastic, and fique blend.
