Hormigón: prácticas a evitar en las obras

Parte 1

Las adiciones de agua pueden dañar la mezcla de hormigón, comprometiendo su calidad tanto en términos de resistencia como de durabilidad porque se modifica la relación agua/cemento.

Parte 2

Se debe prestar cuidado y atención al embalaje de las muestras cúbicas de hormigón, las cuales son fundamentales tanto para el cliente como para el proveedor ya que son la herramienta que permite probar la calidad y resistencia del producto.

Parte 3

La maduración del hormigón es un paso fundamental para la calidad del material ya que es la fase en la que el producto adquiere sus características definitivas de resistencia y durabilidad, obteniendo así el resultado esperado.

Parte 4

When concrete arrives at the construction site, it is essential to comply with the acceptance procedures established by the Technical Construction Standards (NTC). These rules ensure that the material used has the strength and durability required for the safety of the project.

However, on many construction sites, inspection procedures are performed incorrectly or even ignored. Among the riskiest practices are:
❌ Samples taken irregularly or by unqualified personnel
❌ Unsuitable equipment that compromises the representativeness of the sample
❌ Tampering with the concrete by adding water, before or after sampling
❌ Using a single sample for multiple days of pouring without adequate checks

Errors of this type can alter the quality of the concrete in place, generate disputes between the contractor and the manufacturer, and, above all, compromise structural safety.
