Ladrillos de suelo cemento con adición de corrector orgánico como alternativa de material para la construcción

Abstract

Abstract:The production of cooked clay bricks requires large amounts of energy and resources. They have good mechanical resistance, generate great environmental contamination by their cooking process. The present study was carried out with the aim of designing concrete bricks with organic concealer as an alternative material for construction. For this purpose, discs with 3 three types of mixtures were produced: soil-cement, floor-cement-sawdust and floor-cement- sand-sawdust, with material from two soil mines and sand from the canton Yantzaza. By diametric compression test to the discs, the optimum mixture for making bricks was determined. They were characterized physically, chemically, mineralogically and mechanically, the bricks using the simple compression test are determined to mix with 70% soil, 10% sawdust, 10% sand and 10% cement gives an average resistance of 3.27MPa exceeding The Spanish regulations whose minimum value is 1.3MPa. The weight of the brick is reduced on average to 8% compared to the brick of Soil-Cement. In Los Encuentros the cost of a ceramic brick is 0.30$ compared to the one proposed with a value of 0.23$.
