The objective of the project is to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of the repair mortar incorporated with maguey juice for the repair of structural pathologies in the city of Huancayo. The construction sector has been growing over the years, but natural phenomena such as earthquakes and seismic events also occur daily, causing destruction and structural damage, and their repairs are becoming more and more costly. For this reason, the use of maguey juice as a natural additive in mortar was proposed to find out if it improves or worsens the properties of the mortar. To fulfill the objective of the research, an experimental study was carried out to find the physical and mechanical properties of the mortar. Tests of fluidity, air content, setting time, compressive strength, flexural strength, and mortar shrinkage test were carried out at 7, 14 and 28 days of curing with dosag...

The purpose of the project is to experimentally evaluate the properties of concrete in a hardened state when the coarse aggregate is replaced in dosages by over - burnt crushed bricks obtained from the artisanal brick kilns in the city of Huancay o. This material was chosen due to the abundance of artisanal brick kilns in the area, which gener ates waste in its preparation polluting the environment, so this material was used in order to give it an added value and improve the properties of concrete. To fulfill the objective of the research, the mechanical properties of the concrete were determined in the laboratory, compressive strength tests, tensile strength tests and flexural strength tests at 28 days were carried out in dosages of 5%, 10% and 15% of over - burnt crushed brick using a mix design of 210 kg/cm² with the ACI method. It was determined that the percentage of 10% was the on...

The project provides information on the physical and mechanical properties of clay soils stabilized with recycled polymers (PET) as subgrade improvement in rural roads in the district of Sicaya, because this area does not have paved roads nearby which cause inaccessibility to the population; also by using PET for soil improvement, an added value was given to this material generating a lower environmental impact. In order to fulfill the objective of the research, the physical properties of two soil specimens from Jr. La Libertad in the district of Sicaya were determined; sieving tests of granulometry, consistency limits, modified proctor and soil classification by SUCS and AASHTO were performed. Once the soil properties were evaluated, the optimum size of the PET particles for its application was determined by CBR tests using 1% of PET as a proof. It was found that the optimum size was fr...
