CHAVEZ PORRAS, Álvaro; GUARIN CORTES, Nataly Lorena  y  CORTES DUARTE, María Carolina. DETERMINATION OF PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIALS ADDED IN SAMPLE DEBRIS IN THE CITY OF BOGOTÁ D.C.. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.22, pp.45-58. ISSN 1692-3324.

With the implementation of unit operations supported by laboratory tests, by evaluating physical and chemical properties, was concluded on the need to adopt strategies to reduce, reuse and recycling of debris in the city of Bogotá D.C. This can increase the landfills lifespan, reduce the exploitation of natural resources and the indiscriminate disposal in unauthorized places. With a local sample, some characteristics as granulometry; absorption; porosity; compressive strength; pH; total organic carbon; heavy metals and trace elements were identified. Results of experience, national and international, were compared, concluding that the components of these aggregates have similarity to those obtained naturally, because they have high potential for use in civil construction components without structural function, in compliance with the Colombian Technical Standards - NTC.

Palabras clave : Aggregates; recycling; chemical and physical properties of debris.
