Resumen

La contribución a las emisiones globales de CO₂ debidas a la producción de hormigón está aumentando. En este trabajo, se investigó el efecto de los componentes de la mezcla de hormigón en las propiedades del mismo y las emisiones de CO₂. Los materiales estudiados fueron 47 mezclas, que consistieron en cemento Portland ordinario (OPC) tipo I, árido grueso, arena de río y aditivos químicos. Se utilizaron algoritmos de metodología de respuesta de superficie (RSM) y optimización de nube de partículas (PSO) para evaluar los componentes de la mezcla a diferentes niveles simultáneamente. Se elaboraron modelos cuadráticos y lineales para ajustar los resultados experimentales. Basándose en estos modelos, utilizando RSM y PSO, la mezcla de hormigón logró propiedades óptimas de ingeniería. La mezcla resultante requerida para obtener las propiedades mecánicas deseadas para el hormigón fue de 1.10-2.00 árido fino / cemento, 1.90-2.90 árido grueso / cemento, 0.30-0.4 agua / cemento y 0.01-0.013 aditivos químicos / cemento. Ambos métodos tuvieron más del 94% de precisión, en comparación con los resultados experimentales. Finalmente, al emplear los métodos RSM y PSO, el número de mezclas experimentales probadas podría reducirse, ahorrando tiempo y dinero, así como disminuyendo las emisiones de CO₂.
