Abstract

In recent years, due to technological progress, the requirement for high-performance concrete has led to research into the improvement or substitution of petrochemical residues in concrete mixtures. The objective of this investigation was to design a 55 MPa concrete with the use of Lafarge Reinforced Cement, Holcim Type HE Cement and Chimborazo Type HE Cement with the replacement of the cement by exhausted catalyst at 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% in order to reduce the environmental impact generated in the cement production and manufacturing process. Finally, it was concluded that the use of spent catalyst is feasible in the field of high-strength concrete because it improves mechanical properties such as resistance to compression, traction, bending and elasticity modulus, as well as increases durability, generates protection against attacks. by carbonates, sulfates and damage caused by chlorides
