Análisis micro y macro estructural de ladrillos elaborados a base de suelo cemento

Abstract

Abstract: With the population growth worldwide and the housing need, enviromental problems are developing, like as: CO2 emissions from cement, bricks, ceramics manufacturing and transport, in addition to depletion and explotation of new mines of stone materials and others. Starting with this base and looking for a new quality ecological material, in this Project soil bricks were elaborated with Los Encuentros, Zamora Chinchipe, materials, this was stabilized with 10% cement, accompanied with different aggregates, like as: rice husk, peanut shells, gypsum, carbon nanotubes; trying to improve their mechanical characteristics. Macrostructural tests were made, like as: compressive and flexural strength tests, density and percentage of absorption test; in addition to microstructural tests, like as: X-ray fluorescence, X-ray dysfunction; they will help us to analyze the chemestry composition and and crystalline phases of each prototype.
