| Sumario: | Cigarette butts take between 2 and 10 years to degrade; they contain substances that are harmful to the environment, a single cigarette butt can pollute 8 liters of seawater and up to 50 liters of drinking water; they are not biodegradable waste so throwing them away with organic waste is not feasible. It is a tiny waste difficult to recycle, for these reasons, innovative alternatives must be sought for its disposal and final destination. In the construction industry, concrete is one of the most used materials in the world due to its physical and mechanical characteristics before various demands and its great local availability. The objective of the work is to use cigarette butts in the concrete as an alternative for final waste disposal, thus reducing the percentage of waste in the environment. Mixtures with compressive strengths of 24.5 and 29 MPa were designed to which the cigarette butt was added in different percentages. Tests were carried out on concrete in the hardened state of cylindrical compression and indirect traction. In the fresh state, the workability of the concrete, temperature, density and air content were measured.With the results obtained, favorable results were obtained, demonstrating that the addition of cigarette butts to concrete as an alternative for the final disposal of said waste is viable. |
