Evaluación de la Durabilidad en Hormigones Elaborados con Escoria Negra de Horno de Arco Eléctrico by Joel Bayle Yong, Giovany Alemán Carmenate, René Antonio Puig Martínez

“…Los resultados mostraron que el hormigón fabricado con 100% de escoria presentó propiedades de durabilidad ligeramente más desfavorables al que contenía árido natural, en particular, se evidenció probabilidad de corrosión de las armaduras de refuerzo de acero. Pero ello no debe constituir una causa de rechazo, sino un elemento a tener en cuenta al emplearlo, como, por ejemplo, en hormigones en masa o en hormigones reforzados con barras de polímeros, y crea pautas para seguir investigando con otros porcentajes menores de sustitución …”
