ENRIQUECIMENTO DO TIJOLO SOLO-CIMENTO COM ÓLEOS MINERAIS E VEGETAIS DESCARTADOS

Abstract

Aiming at a series of requirements that define the use of brick, the soil-cement brick, formulated by the compaction of the soil, cement and water mixture, was developed. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the compressive strength of bricks of soil-cement enriched with mineral oils or vegetable, studying the possibility of creating a product more resistant that consume the least amount of water possible in its manufacturing, improving water scarcity. After a deepening of literature, has became required an analysis of the behavior of the physical properties of the chosen soil became paramount. The soil collected was analyzed according to the norms of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards. The compressive strength was obtained in hydraulic press. It has been proven through the tests of compaction and compression-simple, respectively, than the increase in the oil content is employed in the mixture induces a decrease in the values of the great moisture and resistance to compression.
