Cubiertas de planchas lisas de hormigón ultraliviano impermeabilizadas con caucho reciclado para viviendas sociales básicas.

Abstract

This work gives continuity to the next stage of the project carried out by Silva (2020), with the theme "Flat light concrete slab waterproofed with recycled rubber for social housing roofs". It was decided to expand this investigation by the results obtained in the elaborated tests. In the same way, it seeks to replace the corrugated fiber cement plate, but with a product with improved characteristics and at a lower price. It was considered to develop an ultralight concrete (density <1200 kg / m3 and that is capable of resisting between 90 and 180 kg / cm2), using new materials that provide these properties to concrete. These include air-entraining additives and blowing agents. The scope of this research is to create a product of low weight and cost, that is friendly to the environment to take care of the planet and that provides comfort to the Ecuadorian community in their homes
