Durabilidad de las cuarcitas de A Fonsagrada (Lugo, España) explotadas como rocas industriales

Abstract

[ES] En la actualidad, las cuarcitas extraidas en A Fonsagrada (Lugo) se emplean como áridos de machaqueo en edificación y obra civil, especialmente en pavimentos y capas de rodadura. Debido a estos usos espec1ficos, es interesante realizar una primera caracterización petrográfica y petrofísica de estos materiales mediante diferentes técnicas y ensayos que puedan servir para valorar después su durabilidad. La finalidad de este trabajo es determinar el comportamiento a largo plazo de los materiales de estudio. Deacuerdo a sus taracterísticas intrínsecas más relevantes, bajo el efecto de ciertos agentes medioambientales mediante ensayos tradicionales Y otras técnicas analitícas procedentes de otros campos de caracterización delos materiales. Teniendo en cuenta las condiciones climáticas de alta montaña del entorno de A Fonsagrada y su uso como árido en capas de rodadura, se ha hecho un estudio del comportamiento de la piedra mediante ensayos de durabilidad (heladicidad y choque térmico}. También se ha querido simular el efecto de la sal (NaCI) como reductor del punto de congelación del agua en pavimentos y carreteras, incluyéndose este elemento en los ensayos de durabilidad realizados. Este estudio demuestra que la denominación comercial de cuarcita en estos materiales no es idónea. Enrealidad las rocas extraídas son rocas sedimentarias ricas en cuarzo (cuarzoarenitas}. La presencia de matriz y porosidad hace que estas rocas sean menos resistentes a la degradación. El agua y la sal consiguen disgregar la piedra, por lo que no presentan unas propiedades óptimas para su uso en pavimentos o capas de rodadura.

[EN] Nowadays, the quartzite exploited in A Fonsagrada, Lugo (Spain) are used as crushed aggregates in building and civil engineering, especially in pa vements. For this reason, it is interesting to characterize and evaluate the long term behaviour of these materials with several techniques and standard tests. The aim of this work is evaluate the long term behaviour of the analyzed materials in function of several parameters when they are subjected to different environmental agents with different durability tests. The erosive agents considered have been the extreme temperatures, water and salts (NaCl) because these rocks are usually used in pavements subjected to mountain weather conditions and NaCl is generally used as a de-icer chemical in roads of the North of Spain. This study has revealed that, petrographically, the quartzite exploited is really a quartzarenite. The quartzarenite analysed present clay matrix and porosity. For these reasons, they are less resistant to the action of the erosive agents selected than quartzite rocks. After durability testing, water and NaCl get disintegrated the rock. Therefore, these materials should not be used in pavements.
