Análisis documental del uso de llantas recicladas en obras civiles a nivel nacional

Abstract

The current document presents the research carried out to analyze the use of tires used in civil engineering works nationwide. The monograph was developed from a qualitative and documentary approach, making systematic queries in institutional repositories, indexed databases and academic search engines. The results made it possible to identify the main characteristics and components of recycled tires; Likewise, the existing technologies for the tire recycling process in Colombia (crushing and pyrolysis) were presented and the various uses of recycled tires in Civil Engineering works were determined. In conclusion, the percentage of recycling that is currently made of used tires in Colombia is low, with the manufacture of pavements being the activity that makes the most use of the materials resulting from said recycling.
