Ordinary Portland cement production accounts for 9% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. This paper summarises the results of research aimed at developing environmentally-friendly binders which can be used as an alternative in civil construction, aimed at generating alternatives and sustainable materials. Mixes of the combination of granulated ground blast furnace slag, basic oxygen slag, cement kiln dust and plasterboard gypsum were used for optimising the binders, according to their compressive strength, to obtain 5 concrete mixtures made partially or completely with industrial waste. The results showed that the compressive strength of mixtures of Portland cement and industrial waste were suitable for different civil construction applications and, although mixtures formed entirely from industrial waste had a significant decrease in their compressive strength, the results showed great potential for specific industrial applications. In addition to compressive strength, the rheological properties of these mixtures were determined for defining flow and workability characteristics.
Siendo la producción de cemento responsable de aproximadamente el 9% de la producción industrial de gases de invernadero, y en pro de generar materiales alternativos, en este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación encaminada a desarrollar cementantes que potencialmente representen una alternativa ambientalmente sostenible en la construcción civil. Combinaciones de escoria granulada de alto horno, escoria de acería obtenida mediante un proceso de oxígeno básico, polvo de horno de cemento y residuo de demolición de divisiones de yeso fueron usados para optimizar la resistencia a la compresión y obtener cinco mezclas de concreto con cementantes hechos parcial o totalmente con residuos industriales. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las resistencias de las mezclas compuestas de cemento Portland y residuos industriales son adecuadas para una cantidad importante de aplicaciones en construcción civil, y aunque para las mezclas formadas completamente por residuos industriales se presentó una importante disminución en la resistencia a la compresión, los resultados obtenidos mostraron un gran potencial para determinadas aplicaciones industriales. Adicionalmente a la resistencia a la compresión, a dichas mezclas se les determinaron sus propiedades reológicas definiendo sus características de flujo y trabajabilidad.
