Fabricação de blocos de solo-cimento utilizando RCC (Resíduo de Construção Civil) destinados a vedação de habitações populares

Abstract

There are families living in homes not assisted by basic sanitation (water supply and sewage),more than one family in a single dwelling, in favelas, even under bridges. The soil cement is a mixture composed of raw soil, cement and water, used in the construction of popular houses. The ideal aggregate for the mixture should be sandy, containing between 70% and 80% sand. Civil Construction is not only highlighted as an industry with great impact on the economy, it is also responsible for producing 50% of the country's waste. This work aimed at the use of construction waste in the production of blocks in soil-cement for low-cost housing sealing, in order to partially replace Portland cement. Absorption and compressive strength tests allowed us to conclude that traces with 20 and 35% RCC guarantee potential use for structural use, with average resistance above 4 MPa.
