Conferencia Internacional de Producción y Uso Sostenible del Cemento y Hormigón
The Supplementary Cementitius Materials (MCS) are currently, together with the additives, the most sustainable solutions that are worked to achieve high performance concrete and more resistant to aggressive environments. This research focuses on the introduction of additions in the hotel buildings of Cayo Santa María, Cuba. With previous studies showing that some additions can decrease the appearance of cracks due to retraction, a phenomenon very common in the coastal areas of the country, it is decided to begin a research focused on tackling cracking of concrete. The aim is to evaluate the introduction of LC2 (calcined clay, limestone and gypsum) as an active mineral addition concrete. The work is divided into two stages in order to evaluate the introduction of LC2 as an addition. In the first stage, the protocol a of the research is defined, the work is specified with 30% addition, in the second stage the tests are carried out to determine the properties of the fresh concrete as a consistency by the Cone de Abrams, in state hardened, resistance at 7 and 28 days and retraction by ASTM C-157. In this way, a study is made available on the effect of the LC2 addition on the properties of fluid concretes and it is possible to reduce the consumption of cement so harmful to the environment, as well as to make available to the construction a new affordable material in Cuba.
