Aprovechamiento de RCD en el proyecto urbanización Villapraga Palmira
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Pérez Tabares, Carlos Andrés; Reyes Arias, Tito Reinaldo
The dynamics of the construction sector lead to the generation of construction and demolition Waste (CDW) negatively affecting the environment subsoil, water sources and implies a significant increase in the consumption of natural resources. This model of unsustainable consumption is aggravated by the inadequate management of CDWs. In the Urbanization Villapraga, no use of CDWs was carried out, therefore it was necessary to generate the design and implementation of a plan for the proper use and management of CDWs to reduce the environmental impact of such construction and reduce production costs without affecting the quality of the product. Recovery and reprocessing processes took advantage of materials from CDWs, most of which were destined for the formation of base and granular subbase, which, when extended on the track, presented a uniform surface, without cracks, potholes, laminations or segregations generating a suitable structure for 6700 m2 of asphalt binder, demonstrating the economic and technical feasibility of using these materials.
