Análisis comparativo entre hormigones de alta y convencional resistencia para su eficiente uso en edificios de gran altura.

Abstract

In this titration work a comparison was made between two concretes of different resistances, one with f'c of 350 Kg/cm2 and another with 600 Kg/cm2, to be able to demonstrate that there could be savings when building high-rise buildings, which for this research was used as an example to resize The Point Tower, trying to reach a positive result. It was necessary to carry out tests of elasticity modules for high strength concretes and with that be able to have a valid criterion to be possible to change sections of the structural elements that will result in smaller elements and therefore a decrease in the total volume of the whole building. With the new volumes of the elements of smaller sections, the final cost of the two kinds of buildings with different types of concrete could be obtained using the unit price analyzes that had to be prepared for this work.
