La presente tesis “Arcilla cocida como agregado fino para mejorar las propiedades físico-mecánicas del hormigón estructural” para optar el título en Ingeniería Civil, pretende fomentar el uso de la arcilla cocida en el hormigón estructural, comprobando cuánto fue la mejora en las propiedades (físico – mecánicas) del hormigón, haciendo uso de los ensayos de laboratorio y ensayo de cono de abrams. Se usó adiciones de arcilla cocida para determinar en qué medida el diseño de hormigón mejora la resistencia y asentamiento usando distintas dosificaciones de arcilla cocida adoptando 4 tipos de mezcla (15%, 20% y 25% del volumen del agregado fino), ensayadas a compresión, tracción y flexión para una resistencia de f´c=210 kg/cm2. La metodología de investigación fue de tipo cuantitativa, con un diseño de investigación de tipo experimental, longitudinal. Los resultados ...

In this research named “Baked clay as a fine aggregate to improve the mechanical properties of structural concrete”, it was taken into consideration the relations water/concrete between 0.55 and 0.65 for a resistence to the axial compression of  f´c =210 kg/cm2. In the present investigation it was taken into account that the material is affected by the precense of high concentrations of chlorides and sulfates, because of its high porosity and permeability that make it fragile and weak not recommendable for structures with armed reinforcement. The natural fine aggregate was replaced by baked clay on different proportions (0, 15, 20 and 25%) analyzing the clay chemical properties, as well as the hardened concrete mechanical properties (flexion, tension and compression at 28 days). The outcomes of the trials indicate the viability of using ground baked clay as a fine aggregate in ...
