The characterization of the aggregates of the five main quarries of the province of Tacna that allows to optimize its use in construction works. Quantitative, explanatory and descriptive study where the physical properties of the aggregate were determined by performing the tests according to the parameters established in the Peruvian Technical Standard NTP 400.037. The mixing design was developed according to the ACI method for f'c-210 kg/cm2. Subsequently, nine concrete witnesses were made, for each of the following quarries; Arunta, Magollo, Arunta II, Jonas I and the proposal for exploitation located in the district of Sama, at ages 7, 14 and 28 days. When performing the compression test it was observed that the concrete made with the different aggregates complies with the parameters established by the Peruvian Technical Standard. The proposed quarry located in Sama district showed op...

Objetivo: La caracterización de los agregados de las principales canteras de la provincia de Tacna que permita optimizar su uso en obras de construcción. Metodología: Estudio de tipo cuantitativa. De investigación explicativa, descriptiva. De diseño no experimental, transeccional. Para determinar las propiedades físicas del agregado se realizaron los ensayos según los parámetros establecidos en la Norma Técnica Peruana NTP 400.037.2018. Para la investigación se elaboró el diseño de mezcla según el método ACI para f’c= 210 kg/cm2. Posterior a ello se realizaron 45 testigos de concreto; 09 testigos obtenidos de la Cantera Arunta; 09 testigos de la Cantera Magollo; 09 testigos de la Cantera Arunta II; 09 testigos de la Cantera Jonas I y 09 testigos de la cantera propuesta ubicada en el Distrito de Sama, a edades de 7, 14 y 28 días. Resultados: Al realizar el ensayo de compr...
