Efectividad del uso de la ceniza de la Termopaipa como sustituto del cemento en la fabricación del concreto

Abstract

This research a study of the concrete in which the cement was replaced by ash from Termopaipa (third unit) which are some compression tests at different ages with the objective of evaluating their resistance is developed. The compressive strength of concrete is analyzed with the substitution of cement by ash from the TERMOPAIPA (third unit) in proportions of 10%, 20%, 30%, in order to see the reaction that ash has at different times 3, 7, 14, 28 days of cure. For the calculation of the different mix designs, the different NTC Standards will be used, according to their analysis, and materials from the Boyacá region, these materials are characterized in a certified laboratory to have a better analysis, the samples are made and made the different tests to determine: settlement, unit mass, air content, temperature, manageability and compression tests. The following water-cement ratios are raised 0.75, 0.65, 0.55, 0.45, and 0.35 where water is a constant and the cement is modified. These relationships are replaced with 10% 20% and 30% cement by ash from the TERMOPAIPA (third unit) with the aim of seeing their behavior, by collecting data and graphs of these, sometimes some interesting criticisms and having an alternative of the use of these ashes thermal combustion product that occurs in the electric heater also contributing to the research of new products in the area of constriction.
