ANÁLISE MECÂNICA DE BLOCOS DE CONCRETO COM ADIÇÃO DE CASCAS DE ARROZ

Abstract

The construction industry is one that generates more waste in big cities. Moreover, in the industrial processing of rice are produced approximately 100 million tons of shells are not always properly discarded. Given the economic and environmental viability, we propose the following work where rice hulls and / or ash obtained from them, are used, along with construction waste, in making ecological blocks. Rice husk was used as alternative materials in replacement of part of the sand. The husk ash as substitute for cement. Compressive strength tests were performed. The results showed increased resistance to compression of the block relative to the block ecological pattern. Such behavior warrants the output of block ecological alternative constructions for efficient low cost. Index Terms - block ecological, vegetable waste, mechanical tests.
