Resumen:
The soil-cement brick, the result of a homogeneous mixture of soil, Portland cement,
and water, emerged as an alternative to civil construction capable of reducing the
damage caused by the sector to the environment. The study of these bricks can
contribute to the generation of a positive environmental impact, in addition to promoting
an important social impact by enabling the achievement of goals and objectives of the
2030 Agenda of the United Nations and also reducing the costs of executing
engineering works. With this, this study analyzes, from a literature review, carried out
using the databases of Google Academic, Scielo, and Periodic CAPES, the
environmental benefits and damages caused by the use of ecological bricks in civil
construction, as well as the ecological viability, technical and economic of its use as a
substitute for conventional ceramic blocks, and the possibility of contributing to the
United Nations 2030 Agenda, seeking to promote joint work between civil construction
and sustainable development. This research proved to be an important source on
which sustainable studies can be based, however, it is necessary to carry out more
studies about soil-cement bricks, in order to popularize their use in the construction
materials market, contributing to greater sustainability. in civil construction.
