USE OF THE CONCRETE CELL IN UNITS OF MASONRY NO STRUCTURAL


This paper presents information from research done in the manufacture of blocks of concrete cell with the use of local materials such as: Andean cement, fine sand, lime and Aluminum powder. Used in the manufacture of concrete cell blocks good density molds, to prevent warping during use in research. Research based on a knowledge that mixes cement, lime, water and sand that expands if you add Aluminum powder. Mixing that takes place is a mortar but we will be called concrete because well known commercially. The reaction between aluminum and cement causes the formation of small bubbles of hydrogen, which expands the concrete of its original volume. Resulting a material non-organic, non-toxic, tight, that can be used in Interior or exterior walls, floors, and roofs, blocks and lintels with or without load panels. Having as advantages the concrete cell, which can be cut with a saw or electric saw, condition that makes it comparable, in terms of workability, only with wood. The particular cell is lightweight, easy to maneuver and transport. Presents low densities in the blocks of concrete cell, 1500 kg/m2 and in terms of resistance to compression of blocks Gets an average of 8 Mpa strength at 28 days of rehearsed. In terms of costs is advantageous in comparison with traditional systems of clay bricks, taking an estimated savings of 10%, it has technical advantages that make it unique. In last place is good thermal insulator, being found the blocks of concrete cellular 0.39 conductivity w/m C against concrete blocks coming to 0.48 w/m C. It can be concluded that this particular cell used as blocks features that enables us to obtain benefits with the of conventional concrete. The particular cell is manufactured in several countries, as a mixture of cement, lime, sand and forming agent of gas, which gives it the characteristic of lightness to the mix. Are conventional concrete blocks used in various parts of the country in a way traditional and often without the appropriate technical support. What this research work is an experimental study allowing to define the optimal dosages for manufacturing concrete cell blocks that meet the specifications of the standards Peruvian technique, developing the prefabrication of concrete blocks, with local materials using molds of wood, in a simple and easy way. Currently, the ceramic brick is the most common material used for self-construction due, in some cases, their availability and resident who works in construction is familiar with the work of masonry bearing walls, however in other cases mean stress, such as when the work is in places

away from the centers of production, the transport of the material more expensive cost of construction; in other situations is limited availability of materials and equipment (ovens) to manufacture elements of quality; Likewise the advantageous use of local resources, you may consider with criteria of environmental impact. A cell, material not harmful to the environment, light that serves as a construction material and also has thermal, acoustic insulation and resistance to fire and termites. You can compensate for the higher cost of material by lower costs of labor, finish, maintenance and energy. The absence of added thickness and the effect of bearing produced by materials provide a good consistency to the concrete cell. The vibration is not required when empty, since the concrete cellular system is evenly distributed and fills all the spaces with the same density in the element. It is a good ecological choice in terms of production, construction, recycling and quality issues. By altering the proportions it can be produced by manipulating the values of isolation and compressive, that makes concrete more versatile cell. Because it is lightweight and easy to work, saves time and reduces waste and energy used. In all these situations is that he considers the use of blocks of concrete cell as an alternative to cheaper housing safe and satisfactory quality. Then we will do a brief description of the topics addressed in this research: Chapter I, light concrete, easily describes what are the concrete called light or low density, how you can get these with the methods described. We can also see the chemical reactions that lead to the formation of gas which are incorporated into the concrete. Composition of the concrete cell Binder + chemical or foaming agent + mixed water + additive + added fine Manufacture of concrete cellular The method of aluminum or zinc powder is the most common, after that paste is obtained.

Chapter II, characteristics of the materials, the materials that are used to prepare the concrete cell is described in this part. Starting with Portland cement, aggregates and gas forming agent, we refer to the aluminum dust. Characteristics of each material, standards and recommendations. Chapter III, normal concrete and concrete cell. In this chapter will be a description of the properties of the fresh concrete, citing the workability, consistency, etc. To determine the performance of the workability of the concrete in fresh State, have developed multiple devices, the most common of them being the Abrams Cone, can also use

Conclusions
The advantages of having materials with low density (1550 kg/m3); for example, reduce dead loads, speed of construction, lower costs of transport and scree slopes. In the event of claims, the removal of debris would be much faster, thanks to the reduction of the weight of the material, up to 25% lighter than normal blocks of concrete. The performance of labor is 15m2 per day, due to the lower number of movements needed to raise a square meter. Achieved increase performance per m2 of constructed wall, by 30% compared to clay bricks, and 20% as regards concrete blocks conventional. Fine sand must be used for the manufacture of concrete cellular, is done to decrease the weight of the block, and gives greater stability in the cell structure, giving rise to the formation of more uniform air cells.
