ANÁLISIS DE RESISTENCIA A COMPRESIÓN DE LADRILLOS DERIVADOS A MAMPOSTERÍA INTERNA DE VIVIENDAS ELABORADOS CON RESIDUOS PLÁSTICOS.

Abstract

The present research work used recycled plastic for the manufacture of internal masonry bricks. The first step was the collection of the materials to be used, the main material is plastic that is disposed of freely in the province of Manabí and its cantons, in the same way we will obtain the characteristics of plastic, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), so that at time to include them in the mix with traditional materials such as cement, water and fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. For the investigation, cylinder with dimensions (10 x 20) cm were elaborated, with addition of PET at 5%, 30% and 60%, which was replaced by fine aggregate, starting from a patrol model with 0% of the PET material. Later, several tests were carried out in order to compare them with the standard model commonly used in the region and thus analyze the internal masonry material according to the guidelines established by the Ecuadorian standards.
