Aplicación de Concreto Reforzado con Fibras de Vidrio y Aglomerados en Muros de Contención: Un Estudio Basado en la NSR-10

Abstract

This project seeks to evaluate the efficiency and regulatory compliance of glass fiber-reinforced concrete and agglomerates in retaining walls, with the goal of optimizing costs. To achieve this, a comprehensive literature review, an analysis of the NSR-10 standard, a collection and analysis of cost data, and a regulatory compliance assessment will be conducted. This study is expected to contribute significantly to the field of civil engineering by providing a viable, corrosion-resistant alternative to steel for the construction of retaining walls. The expected results include a comparative analysis of the costs of constructing retaining walls using traditional reinforcing steel and glass fiber-reinforced concrete and agglomerates, as well as an assessment of the compliance of the use of these materials with the NSR-10 regulations. This study has the potential to have a significant impact on the construction industry by providing a more efficient and durable alternative to steel in the construction of retaining walls. Furthermore, the findings of this study are expected to be applicable in the Colombian context, taking into account factors such as climatic and geological conditions, as well as local construction regulations. At the end of this research, we will provide a detailed evaluation of our findings and discuss the implications of our results for the construction industry.
