Recycled concrete: chances to research in pre graduate

Abstract

This article is part of the Investigation project promoted by the Engineering National University, titled as “Urban risk: diagnostic approach for the city of Managua” which has been developed since 2009 and nowadays in course. Cement and masonry of hollow blocks are the most used materials for construction in Latin America, likewise they´re the main volumes of waste which are generated by the ending of the useful life of the building creating negative  impacts to the environment. But there also exist another choice for these kinds of waste as the  reuse in sub-base for highways and the incorporation in mixtures designs for concrete elements, blocks or another type of pieces implemented on the construction.

We explore 3 research about concrete topic, and propose activities to do studies in the Engineering national University applying the standard tests whit the technology we have, we suggest choices to use different kinds of mixtures for different products accord his structural strength.
