    La ceniza de madera es un residuo del proceso de quema de ladrillos artesanales que se produce en las zonas más pobres del Perú. Constituye un gran problema debido a que no existe una gestión de esta clase de residuos sólidos y contamina grandes sectores de la población. En ese sentido, surge la importancia de emplear elementos naturales sostenibles como las cenizas de madera que puedan aportar en el rendimiento del concreto. Es por ello que, esta investigación tuvo por objetivo evaluar la influencia de la incorporación de ceniza de madera en las propiedades mecánicas del concreto, con incorporaciones de 8%, 12% y 16%, en función al peso del cemento, para lo cual se prepararon especímenes cilíndricos y viguetas. Los resultados respecto al asentamiento y peso unitario se redujeron considerablemente por debajo de sus muestras patrones, a diferencia de la temperatura que tuvo aumentos que oscilaron entre los 3°C. Por otro lado, la mezcla combinada de 8% de ceniza de madera resultó ser la mayor resistencia a la compresión, llegando a 308,73 kg/cm2 la cual representa un incremento del 9,04% con respecto a la muestra patrón, en tanto, la resistencia a la flexión fue 45,32 kg/cm2 representando un incremento del 5,96% respecto a la muestra patrón. Se concluye que la adición de ceniza de madera mejora significativamente las propiedades mecánicas del concreto con una dosis óptima de 8%, el resultado contribuye a que sea técnicamente viable como adición en la elaboración de concreto sustentable en la construcción civil.

    Wood ash is a residue from the artisanal brick burning process that is produced in the poorest areas of Peru. It is a major problem because there is no management of this type of solid waste and it contaminates large sectors of the population. In this sense, it is important to use sustainable natural elements such as wood ashes that can contribute to the performance of concrete. For this reason, the objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of the incorporation of wood ash on the mechanical properties of concrete, with incorporations of 8%, 12% and 16%, as a function of the weight of cement, for which cylindrical specimens and beams were prepared. The results with respect to slump and unit weight were considerably reduced below their standard samples, unlike the temperature, which had increases that ranged between 3°C. On the other hand, the combined mixture of 8% wood ash resulted in the highest compressive strength, reaching 308,73 kg/cm2 which represents an increase of 9,04% with respect to the standard sample, while the flexural strength was 45,32 kg/cm2 representing an increase of 5,96% with reference to the standard sample. It is concluded that the addition of wood ash significantly improves the mechanical properties of concrete with an optimum dosage of 8%, the result contributes to make it technically feasible as an addition in the elaboration of sustainable concrete in civil construction.
