Structural behavior of walls in homes incorporating rubber from recycled tires and sawdust in concrete blocks, Juliaca – 2023

Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate how the incorporation of rubber from tires and sawdust in concrete blocks influences the structural behavior of walls in homes, the research was of the type by quantitative approach and by applied purpose, of explanatory level and quasi-experimental design, the population was made up of homes with concrete block walls, the sample of 27 block units, 9 stacks, 9 walls and 3 homes prototype; the results of compression resistance in units with the addition of tire rubber and sawdust were for 0% 57.07, 25% 50.04 and 30% 47.44kg/cm2, compression resistance in piles for 0% 48.77, 25% 32.08 and 30% 29.94 kg/cm2, compressive strength in walls for 0% 9.52, 25% 8.31 and 30% 7.22kg/cm2, in the three indicators, the 30% dosage is the one that has the most influence, for lateral displacement, the 30% dosage increases the displacement and for basal shear, the 30% dosage presents a decrease in the basal shear. Finally, it was evaluated that the dosage with 25% of tire shavings and sawdust is the one that influences the structural behavior of homes to a lesser extent. This influence is negative on the mechanical properties because they decrease and on the lateral displacement because it increases and in a positive way. in the basal shear because it decreases.
