Ítem Acceso Abierto Análisis de la calidad constructiva de las estructuras de hormigón armado en edificaciones de propiedad privada que se encuentran en construcción dentro del cantón Azogues(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2019) Vargas Tello, Esteban Oswaldo; Crespo Crespo, Jorge Efraín; 0302266556; ., .One of the most widely used materials in the world for building construction is the Portland Cement hydraulic concrete due to its great mechanical characteristics, its low manufacturing cost, its easy production, its capacity of acquiring any shape, etc. The main objective of the following research is to assess the quality of the structural elements of reinforced concrete that are part of private buildings and housing in the city of Azogues, due to the fact that this is an essential and indispensable activity in any building process. The research is focused on assessing the building processes and the quality of the concrete used, as well as its main elements. The quality of recent concrete and its mechanical strength was evaluated, where samples could be molded on site and tested for compression in the laboratory. In other cases, if the structural elements were already built, their resistance was evaluated by non-destructive testing using the Schmidt hammer. For reinforcing steel, the degree of compliance with minimum diameters, bending and straightening of both longitudinal and stirrup reinforcing steel was calculated, as established by the American Concrete Institute and the Ecuadorian Building Standard. Finally, statistical tables will show the current state and scenario in which the building activity is taking place and its impact on the structural safety of buildings in Azogues.
