Cada vez es más frecuente la rehabilitación de obras deterioradas para la adecuación a nuevos usos, corregir fallas de diseño o de mal proceso constructivo. Dada esta condición, se requiere no solo rehabilitar sino también readecuar las estructuras tomando en cuenta que dicha intervención deberá satisfacer las mejoras mecánicas, y así mismo un correcto control de la aplicación. Esta investigación pretende dar a conocer los beneficios que aportan los sistemas compuestos de polímeros reforzados con fibra de carbono para mejorar el desempeño mecánico de elementos estructurales de concreto. La investigación fue documental bibliográfico, en donde los estudios revisados utilizaron el método deductivo, enfoque cuantitativo y orientación aplicada, de nivel descriptivo, tipo descriptivo, correlacional y explicativo. El diseño experimental, longitudinal, retrospectivo y de estu...

It is getting more frequent the deteriorated work rehab, the corrections of design flaws or poor constructive process. Because of this, it is required not only to rehabilitate but to rearrange the structures taking into consideration that that intervention have to fulfill the mechanic improvements. This research intents to make known the benefits that the reinforced polymer composite systems with carbon fiber give to improve the mechanical performance of structural concrete elements. The results of the resistance to the compression trials at 28 days of the unreinforced specimens was of 12 MPa, and with the incorporation of the reinforced polymer with carbon fiber (RPCF) at 100% it improves 2.67 times its resistance (32.04 MPa), while the reinforced specimens at 50%, improves 1.57 times its resistance (18.84 MPa). It can be concluded that the application of the RPCF, considerably increase...
