Con esta primicia, la presente investigación determinó que la inclusión de Aluminato de Estroncio co-dopado con Europio y Disprosio en mezclas a base de Cemento Portland; no solo produce el fenómeno de fotoluminiscencia, sino que mejora también sus propiedades mecánicas, mediante la realización de diversas pruebas de laboratorio físico-mecánicas como la resistencia a compresión en probetas, además de análisis químicos con XRF en distintas muestras de mortero. La investigación encontró además que la proporciones 0.3:1 del compuesto con respecto al cemento permite obtener el efecto fosforescente más óptimo. Finalmente, mediante la realización de un análisis económico se demuestra que el costo/beneficio de aplicar el compuesto cementante fotoluminiscente como señalética vial a largo plazo es mucho más rentable que el empleo de la luminaria convencional.]]></p></abstract>

With this novelty, the present investigation determined that the inclusion of Strontium Aluminate co-doped with Europium and Dysprosium in binders based on Portland cement not only produces the photoluminescence phenomenon but also improves its mechanical properties; through the accomplishment of diverse physical-mechanical laboratory tests like the compressive strength in test pieces, besides chemical analyzes with XRF in different samples of concrete. The research further found that the 0.3:1 ratio of the compound to the cement allow obtaining the most optimal phosphorescent effect. Finally, by means of the economic analysis it is shown that the cost/benefit of applying the photoluminescent cementitious composite as a long-term road sign is much more cost effective than the use of the conventional luminaire.]]></p></abstract>
