Abstract
Over the years, the world has tried to increase the recycling of materials, especially those of artificial origin, this in order to produce compounds that are sustainable and sustainable. Among these materials, concrete stands out as a versatile element, to which different external agents can be added; however, since many of them are not compatible with aggregates, cement or water, can cause some alterations in their mechanical performance. Therefore, the present investigation addressed the study of an artificial material called Microporous Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (MEVA), in order to evaluate its influence on the mechanical properties of structural concrete. MEVA additions were used in ranges of 5.00 %, 10.00 %, 15.00 % and 20.00 % with respect to the volume of concrete, to analyze its behavior in the mix, both in physical and mechanical properties. The results show that the workability and unit weight are affected by the increase in MEVA. Despite this, the mechanical performance showed significant increases in the compressive strength of 8.81 %, tensile of 22.86 %, flexion of 24.51 % and modulus of elasticity of 2.12 %, with the addition of 5.00 % of MEVA after 28 days. Nevertheless, at higher doses there is a reduction in said strengths. For these reasons, it is concluded that the incorporation of MEVA at 5.00 % greatly improves the mechanical properties of concrete for structural use, in relation to the theoretical design strength of 21.00 MPa.
