Propuesta de mejoramiento de resistencia a la comprensión para el sistema constructivo "HANDY BRICK"

Abstract

Based on the thesis made by the students Juan Pablo Duarte Muñoz and Oscar Acevedo Mancera, titled Mampuesto divisorio based on jute, rice husk and Portland cement "HANDY BRICK", the main objective of this research is to propose a Improvement of the physical and chemical characteristics for this type of masonry, especially the strength of the compression forces. Since the initial tests did not satisfy the resistance parameters established by standard NTC 4076. This project was carried out through an experimental investigation, where some materials that were used in the initial proposal were changed, and several Prototypes with random dosages for optimum results. Subsequently, the same respective tests that were proposed in the thesis were carried out in the civil engineering laboratory of the Universidad La Gran Colombia, consecutively comparisons of the two prototypes were obtained obtaining favorable results with the improvement proposal that is presented below in this investigation.
