Resumen
En la búsqueda constante de soluciones sostenibles y eficientes para mejorar las
propiedades del concreto, el uso de aditivos naturales se ha convertido en un área
de interés significativa en la industria de la construcción. Este artículo se enfoca en
el empleo del almidón de yuca como aditivo para el concreto, para mejorar su
resistencia a la compresión. El almidón de yuca, un producto biodegradable y
fácilmente disponible, se ha destacado por sus propiedades aditivas. Esta
característica lo convierte en un candidato prometedor para mejorar la durabilidad y
las propiedades mecánicas del concreto. La investigación presentada se basa en
una serie de experimentos de laboratorio en los que se agregó almidón de yuca en
3% en proporción al material cementante. Los resultados revelaron que la inclusión
de almidón de yuca en la mezcla de concreto aumenta significativamente la
resistencia a la compresión. Este efecto se atribuye a la capacidad del almidón de
yuca para actuar como un agente aglomerante, fortaleciendo la matriz de la pasta
de cemento y mejorando la cohesión interna. El uso de almidón de yuca como
aditivo en el concreto muestra un gran potencial para mejorar las propiedades
mecánicas del material, especialmente la resistencia a la compresión. Esta
investigación respalda la viabilidad de utilizar recursos naturales y sostenibles en la
industria de la construcción, abriendo nuevas posibilidades para el desarrollo de
concretos más eficientes y respetuosos con el medio ambiente.
In the constant search for sustainable and efficient solutions to improve the properties of concrete, the use of natural additives has become a significant area of interest in the construction industry. This article focuses on the use of cassava starch as an additive for concrete, with the aim of improving its compressive strength. Cassava starch, a biodegradable and easily available product, has been highlighted for its additive properties. This characteristic makes it a promising candidate to improve the durability and mechanical properties of concrete. The research presented is based on a series of laboratory experiments in which cassava starch was added in x proportion to the concrete. The results revealed that the inclusion of cassava starch in the concrete mixture significantly increases the compressive strength. This effect is attributed to the ability of cassava starch to act as a binding agent, strengthening the cement paste matrix and improving internal cohesion. The use of cassava starch as an additive in concrete shows great potential to improve the mechanical properties of the material, especially compressive strength. This research supports the viability of using natural and sustainable resources in the construction industry, opening new possibilities for the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly concrete
