Reutilización de la arcilla cocida (ladrillo) como material de construcción.

Abstract

This project is conducted in order to find an alternative for the manufacture of concrete, based on the recycling of rubble from construction and demolition works, especially to the reuse of blocks of baked clay (brick), mechanism that will serve to improve the visual aspect within the city and reduce the accumulation of these debris in vacant lots and even in municipal landfills. This work was based on observation and experimentation, applied together with observation techniques in laboratory, field, and the documentary technique, bases that served to reach its results and verification of the management of this reuse mechanism. There were a total of 24 cylindrical specimens prepared in the following way, 6 designed conventionally and the remaining replacing cement with baked clay (brick) in proportions of powder: 5, 10 and 15%, developing 6 specimens for each ratio, which was designed to obtain a concrete structural type, with a strength of 210 kg/cm2 . To obtain the powder of brick, blocks were subjected to crushing using the machine of the angels, then pass it through the #200 (0,075 mm) sieve and use the material that passes through it for the preparation of the mixture, taking into consideration the particle size to be used in this project. According to the results obtained, specifies that a structural concrete, can be made by replacing up to 5% of the cement dust from clay in a concrete mix. While replacing a 10 or 15% of the cement, you can used for the elaboration of concretes of non-structural type.
