Revisión teórica del estudio comparativo en bloques de arcilla y cáñamo industrial como alternativa de construcción sostenible.

Abstract

(The objective of this monograph is to carry out a theoretical review about the comparison between an innovative proposal such as ecological bricks made from industrial hemp and conventional clay-based bricks that represent one of the most used materials in history. construction field. In the same way, the most important particularities in the transformation process of the raw material for both blocks are evidenced, three case studies are presented for the elaboration of each final product and a qualitative comparison of the main physical-mechanical properties of each is made. study block, verifying compliance with the minimum requirements according to the NTC 4205, NTC 4017 and ASTM 109 standards. Additionally, the different advantages and disadvantages and the most relevant points at an economic level for both bricks are identified, obtaining as a result a high performance for these two study materials. It is also identified that industrial hemp as a substitute material for the traditional one, satisfactorily complies with the aforementioned and that, in turn, the projects that today implement this ecological alternative as a construction material are very limited. The study and result of this investigative process was developed from the analysis and documentary review, with different resources from academic repositories, theses, monographs, among others, which allowed the qualitative synthesis of the object of study.
