Abstract
La actividad sísmica en Chile es una de las más altas a nivel mundial, con una velocidad de convergencia de placas tectonicas mucho mayor que cualquier otra parte en el mundo. Esto ha requerido de un desarrollo en la construcción antisísmica que lo ha llevado a ser uno de los países con los estándares de construcción más exigentes. Durante los últimos años, la ductilidad en las barras de refuerzo ha cobrado mayor importancia debido a distintos estudios que la describen como imprescindible en las estructuras de hormigón armado para zonas sísmicas. Debido a esto, con el paso de los años las normas han aumentado su exigencia en torno a esta propiedad, como es el caso del Código ACI 318-14.En la presente investigación se analizó la capacidad del proceso Tempcore instalado en AZA Colina para la obtención de barras de refuerzo con mayor ductilidad. Esto se logró mediante el estudio de los fenómenos que gobiernan el proceso, lo que permitió identificar los parámetros y variables más relevantes de este proceso. Se realizó un análisis de la producción de AZA durante el año 2017, con el cual se logró identificar que un 15% de esta producción queda fuera de los estándares requeridos por el Código ACI 318-14.Se estudió el diseño original de las instalaciones de enfriamiento en conjunto con los padrones de operación actual. En base a estos estudios se entregaron tres propuestas de mejora relacionadas con el diámetro de las cañerías, strippers de salida de agua y con la filosofía operacional.Finalmente, se realizaron pruebas en barras de 28 milímetros de diámetro, en las que se obtuvo un aumento de las propiedades mecánicas manteniendo la ductilidad sobre los estándares establecidos en el Código ACI 318-14.
The seismic activity in Chile is one of the highest in the world, with a speed of convergence of tectonic plates much greater than any other part in the world. This has required a development in the anti-seismic construction that has made it one of the countries with the most demanding construction standards. During the last years, the ductility in reinforcing bars has gained greater importance due to different studies that describe it as essential in reinforced concrete structures for seismic zones. Because to this, over the years the standards have increased their demand for this property, as is the case of the ACI 318-14 Code.The present investigation analyzed the capacity of the Tempcore process installed in AZA Colina to obtain reinforcing bars with greater ductility. This was achieved through the study of the phenomena that govern the process, which allowed identifying the most relevant parameters and variables of this process. An analysis of the production in 2017 of AZA was carried out, with which it was possible to identify that 15% of the production falls outside the standards required by the ACI 318-14 Code.The original design of the cooling installations was studied in conjunction with the current operation patterns. Based on these studies, three improvement proposals were submitted, related to the diameter of the pipes, water outlet strippers and the operational philosophy.Finally, tests were carried out on bars with a diameter of 28 millimeters, in which an increase in mechanical properties was obtained maintaining the ductility on the standards established in the ACI 318-14 Code.
