Estudio de las propiedades del yeso reforzado con fibras de maguey para su aplicación en construcción

This research analyzes the properties of gypsum with added maguey fiber as an alternative for sustainable construction, evaluating its viability in construction applications. The performance was compared against fiber variations in different laboratory tests. Samples of gypsum without fiber addition and gypsum reinforced with maguey fiber at 10% and 17% were prepared and subjected to the aforementioned laboratory tests under different loading and temperature conditions. The tests conducted included compression, unit mass, absorption, flexion, flame point, and combustion, carried out in the laboratories of the University of the Coast and the University of the North. The results show that the mixtures with maguey fiber significantly improve mechanical strength compared to the gypsum samples without fiber, especially under critical load conditions and elevated temperatures. These findings suggest the potential use of maguey fiber as a sustainable and effective alternative in construction, highlighting its capacity to withstand adverse conditions and reduce dependence on high-impact environmental materials.
