Evaluación de las propiedades mecánicas de paneles de ferrocemento con agregado fino reciclado

This paper describes the obtention of panels of ferrocement with the incorporation of recycled fine aggregate (SFR) from the grinding of concrete rubble We used a reference mortar that met the minimum resistance to the understanding required for this application (25 Mpa at 28 days) and maximum settlement of 6 cm. This study shows the effect on the compressive strength of this reference mortar, of the incorporation of AFR at levels of 25,50,75 and 100%. Then, based upon optimal results panels of ferrocement were drawn using rods of steel, hexagonal mesh and mesh shale shaker (ZAG). The results revealed the possibility of completely replace natural sand by AFR in the manufacture of ferrocement panels with resistance to Flex up to 31.16 MPa and mortars with up to 7.3% higher compressive strength compared to those based on a 100% natural sand.
