Abstract
The “Fivicemento” is a new construction material developed in the Construction Department of the Civil Engineering School of the Polytechnic University of Madrid consisting of a cement mortar with recycled glass, of small thickness, reinforced by a wire mesh, which is an important innovation in the materials field for its multiple applications in industry, housing construction and agriculture especially for emerging countries due to the ease of obtaining the raw material and simplicity of utilization.
The use of Fivicemento allows to reduce the extractions of raw materials from nature, siliceous quarry sands for the manufacture of glass, as well as to reduce the impact of packaging waste on the environment, reducing the volumes of these wastes that are incorporated into the systems of treatment of domestic garbage, valuing 100% of the last glass waste by transforming it into glass cements, avoiding, in addition, releasing toxic elements to nature.
In this communication a calculation algorithm is developed that allows in a simple way to determine the resistance to compression of the Fivicemento over time, based on its constituent materials, by means of the genetic algorithms technique and the simulation of the microstructure originated in the process of interaction of the different microstructures.
