Desarrollo de una manta para impermeabilización de cubiertas usando desechos de construcción y materiales naturales.

Abstract

The issue of developing a blanket for roof waterproofing using construction waste and natural materials is related in the social, economic and environmental field due to the fact that this element provides technical support to the waste that is currently produced in the works and constructions in the city of Guayaquil. The main problem with these solid waste from construction is that they form an endless pollution, therefore, it is necessary to assume the social and environmental responsibility of taking them into consideration for the manufacture of a blanket that covers and protects the roofs. The main objective is the development of a waterproofing blanket that combines the stone dust obtained from construction waste, natural latex from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree known as rubber tree and the use of natural fibers woven and treated to ensure the right operation outdoors in the roofs of the different infrastructures and buildings. An experimental, explanatory, descriptive, analytical methodology is used. Also among the research was a survey of students in the area of civil engineering and professionals who saw the project carried out as innovative, sustainable and necessary its application for the different covers. In conclusion, a product of optimum quality is obtained that could change the market of roof waterproofing products in buildings and constructions.
