Mampuesto aligerado con plástico triturado tipo lego

Abstract

This research project arises from the problem that exists in the not structural masonry of the buildings, more specifically in the weight that this one generates. Then a brick that is commonly used in those cases emits loads that are not necessary for the construction, it has a resistance much bigger than the one that demands the regulation in Colombia and the constraint of bricks is one of the major factors that contributes to the environment pollution, considering that it emits carbon monoxide and oxide of nitrogen, among others. It is important to highlight that an ideal structure does not exist but, there are some basic principles that guide a good performance in the construction, those are that the building must be lightweight as possible, sufficiently rigid, ductile and symmetrical in plant as in high. Taking the previous thing as a base there proposes itself a rubble lightened with crushed plastic lego type that facilitates its installation and reduces the weight that generates the not structural traditional masonry.
