Resumen

The construction sector is one of the main consumers of raw materials and generates a high volume of waste within the European Union. The search for new materials that are more sustainable and respectful of the environment has become a challenge for countries with a high degree of industrialization. In this work, a study of the most relevant properties of masonry mortars made with recycled aggregates and reinforced with synthetic fibers was carried out. Three types of aggregates were used?natural, concrete recycling and ceramic recycling?and two types of reinforcing fibers: polypropylene and polyolefin. In this way, various tests of physical-mechanical characterization and a statistical analysis of the results were carried out. It has been shown that the mortars made from aggregate recycled concrete and reinforced with polypropylene fiber are the ones with the best properties for application in the construction sector, although without improving the properties of traditional mortars made from natural aggregate and without fibers.
