Addition of pet plastic bottles in the manufacture of adobe blocks for single-family homes and his effect on the variation of temperature and acoustic conditioning in the Ambato city, Tungurahua estate.

Abstract

Introduction. Thermal and acoustic comfort in side of the home room’s are important characteristics to reduce the use of electrical devices used for these purposes and consequently the consumption of electrical energy or fuels, this type of savings in homes is important to reduce your expenses of basic services. With this they can increase their economic level. Objective. Analyze the results of the study of the variation of the temperature and acoustic conditioning in adobe blocks, adding plastic recycled type PET. Methodology. The research design was experimental, quantitative and qualitative. The adobe blocks were made with the Peruvian standard E.080. adding crushed PET plastic depending on the volume of the soil used being: 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%. For the analysis of temperature and sound, it was based on Chilean standards, using an airtight chamber. Results. Among the results frequently obtained are when the Percentage of PET is increased, the insulation is increased by external temperature, giving an ambient temperature of 15 ° C, with regard to the sound part, an increase in the insulation level of a 50.97% of the maximum level emitted by the source. Conclusion. The addition of materials such as PET plastic increases the acoustic and thermal insulation properties of adobe, but always maintaining a relationship with which its minimum resistance does not decrease.
