Ítem Acceso Abierto Plantamiento de la curva de ABRAMS para obtener resistencia a la compresión de hormigón, a través de la relación agua/cemento (A/C)(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2021) Cantos Muñoz, John Marcelo; Crespo Crespo, Jorge Efraín; 0302302419; ., .The correlation between the simple compressive strength and the Water/Cement (A/C) ratio is fundamental in the design of concrete mixtures represented in the Abrams curve and several universally used tables. This information refers to types of cement and aggregates whose characteristics are different from those available in the area, without sufficient research to determine this correlation. The lack of research pointed out, highlights the need to conduct tests to determine the materials to be used, taking into account that the effectiveness of the process is based on a correlation that adjusts to the available raw material, providing reliability and making it possible to improve production processes and economize them. The objective is to replicate the correlation provided by Abrams between the simple compression of concrete with the A/C ratio using materials available in the study area. The procedure was to use controlled laboratory tests regulated by a strict compliance policy in place to guarantee and avoid variability in the results. The method consisted of the manufacture of 10 test pieces for each percentage variation of A/C and was tested at simple compression at 28 days. The results show that the types of cement are the essential resources at the time of determining the resistance of the concrete. To replicate these results obtained, from the proposal of the author, it would be convenient to use the correlation reached in this research. Finally, it is concluded that the ideal complementarity of this process implies conjunction according to types of cement and aggregates.
