La tesis es tipo proyecto. Se desarrolla un proyecto de edificación en la “I.E. NUESTRA SEÑORA DEL ROSARIO FE Y ALEGRÍA N°21”. Se propone construir el pabellón correspondiente al nivel secundario y todas las obras complementarias. El desarrollo del proyecto se da en siete partes. La primera parte (Cap I) consiste en el planteamiento del problema, justificación y objetivos a llegar. Para cumplir con los objetivos, se menciona cual es la metodología a utilizar. La segunda parte (Cap II al IV) es descriptiva. Se elabora una memoria descriptiva del proyecto en general. Luego, se mencionan las principales normas a cumplir. Seguido a esto, se describe y analiza la estructura propuesta desde un enfoque de seguridad y cumplimiento de normas. La tercera parte (Cap V) consiste en el estudio de suelos. Primero se hace una hipótesis de tipo de suelo en función de un estudio geológico l...

La tierra fue uno de los primeros materiales utilizados para la construcción de viviendas y asentamientos. Esto se debe a que la tierra es un material accesible y las construcciones con este material no requieren de técnicas complicadas. La evolución de la construcción con tierra se dio alrededor del mundo y el Perú no es un país ajeno a esta tecnología. Es más en el Perú se tiene una alta tradición con la construcción con tierra. Las técnicas de construcción con tierra más utilizadas en el Perú son la mampostería de adobe y el tapial. Se estima que más del 30% de viviendas en el Perú están construidas con tierra. Las características de estas viviendas están en función a las necesidades de las personas. Sin embargo, las construcciones con adobe no demostraron tener un buen comportamiento estructural ante los sismos. Por lo que se empezaron a realizar ensayos e inves...

The Barcelona method was developed as an alternative to other tests for assessing the post-cracking behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete, with the main advantage being that it uses significantly smaller specimens compared to other methods. For this reason, it can provide a solution for characterizing concrete in hard-to-reach constructions such as roads and tunnels. On the other hand, polypropylene (PP) fibers have gained increased attention in recent years within the scientific community due to their high tensile strength and cost-effectiveness. This research aimed to understand the influence of PP fiber volume, slenderness (l/d), and reinforcement index on post-cracking properties of concrete, including toughness and residual strength (f_res ), using the Barcelona method. Three fiber volumes, 0.4%, 0.8%, and 1.2%, and three slenderness ratios, 46.5, 58.1, and 69.8, were employed in no...

An experimental study was conducted to examine the mechanical strengths of concretes with straight high-strength knurled polypropylene macrofibers. Incidences of concrete mechanical strengths were determined for three different fiber dosages and lengths. In addition, compressive, indirect-splitting-test tensile, and flexural strengths were determined through testing. The results showed no statistically significant correlation between the volume and length of fibers with the compressive strength of polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete (PPFRC). However, there was a statistically significant correlation between the split tensile strength, the volume, and the length of the fibers when the volume was greater than 0.80%, and the length of the fibers was greater than 50 mm. Furthermore, the modulus of rupture increased when the volume of fibers was greater than 0.80% and the length of the fi...

Compressive strength and elasticity modulus are the main mechanical properties of concrete. The non-destructive ultrasound pulse test can be used to determine these properties without compromising the structure’s integrity. This study seeks to assess whether a correlation exists (1) between the Reinforcement Index (RI) and the mechanical properties, (2) between the RI and the dynamic properties, and (3) among the dynamic properties of polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete. The RI was modified through fiber volume fraction (0, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2%) and fiber length (40, 50 and 60 mm). The dynamic properties were assessed through dynamic elasticity modulus and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), which were determined by direct, semi-direct, and indirect prospect methods. Finally, compressive strength, static elasticity modulus, and Poisson’s ratio were assessed through destructive tests. T...

The construction industry requires concrete with adequate post-cracking behavior for applications such as tunnels, bridges, and pavements. For this reason, polypropylene macrofibers are used, which are synthetic fibers that fulfill the function of providing residual strength to concrete. In this study, an experimental plan is carried out to evaluate the bending behavior of concrete reinforced with polypropylene fibers using the four-point bending test according to ASTM C1609. Three fiber dosages (3.6, 7.2 and 10.8 kg/m3) and three fiber lengths (40, 50, and 60 mm) were used. The use of macro polypropylene fibers increased the post-cracking behavior of concrete. In addition, based on the experimentally obtained results and available literature data, a multivariable equation was developed to predict the concrete toughness as a function of the volume, slenderness, and modulus of elasticity ...
