Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the physical and mechanical properties of laboratory concrete made with different proportions of cork powder. While the resulting material lacked the mechanical strength characteristic of concrete, its properties may prove to be apt for certain hardscaping and agricultural uses, such as in the manufacture of pavement for playgrounds and parks, or certain kinds of structures used in livestock raising. These findings need to be analyzed and verified.

Siguiendo las advertencias de Sousa (5) sobre la conveniencia de hacer los ensayos adecuados a los hormigones que utilizan adiciones procedentes de materiales reciclados, en este artículo se muestran los resultados obtenidos de los ensayos de varias dosificaciones de hormigón con cantidades variables de polvo de corcho
Los objetivos que nos hemos planteados en este trabajo son: conocer cómo influyen diversas proporciones de polvo de corcho en las propiedades del hormigón resultante; establecer un procedimiento para elaborar adecuadamente los componentes de este hormigón; y, en tercer lugar, caracterizar este material para poder determinar o descartar algunas aplicaciones constructivas
