Viabilidad económica y de atenuación ambiental, para la implementación de bloques de mampostería de arcilla de baja plasticidad. Caso de estudio Santanilla-Malacatos

Abstract

Abstract: Given the environmental concern that has been experienced in recent times and the role assumed by construction as one of the actors that generates high rates of pollutants, it is considered that the role it plays generates negative effects either directly or indirectly and its consumption leads to a high demand for raw materials, which produce high rates of extraction, energy consumption, CO2 production, acquisition and waste, contributing to the process of environmental pollution and, as a result, climate change. Therefore, the present work contributed to the study, analysis and application of technological advances to generate an architectural building material for masonry "block", which allowed to demonstrate its degree of sustainability in technical, economic and environmental aspects, characterizing and classifying the low plasticity clay of the Santanilla-Malacatos area, determining its suitability through the application of geopolymerization, with a design and testing of specimens under regulations todetermine the feasibility on the Life Cycle Analysis and Life Cycle Cost issues that today, are an essential part to support the environment.
