Estudo comparativo entre solo-cimento, solo-cimento-vermiculita e solo-cimento-plástico.

Abstract

This research was developed in view of the facts of the Brazilian housing deficit, which is of the order of 12 million units, environmental pollution caused by plastic waste and alternative soil-cement technology, which is a simple low-cost technology , good quality standard but high apparent specific mass. This work proposes the use of cement soil technology associated to the consumption of residential waste from crushed plastics, used as light aggregate, in partial replacement of the soil in the production of bricks, ie without structural purposes. Through characterization and technological tests, comparative studies with soil-cement, soil-cement-vermiculite and soil-cement-plastic bricks were carried out. The results allowed to conclude that it is possible to use the crushed residential waste as light aggregate to replace part of the soil in the production of soil-cement-plastic bricks.
