Elaboración de bloques ecológicos implementando sistemas de producción alternativos, para la construcción de viviendas sostenibles y sustentables

Abstract

This document presents the investigative work and other studies carried out on the materials of the region used as raw materials, for the development and production of ecological brick; It is at the same time an idea of entrepreneurship, which seeks to benefit the economic, ecological and environmental aspects. The processes and mixtures for the manufacture of blocks and bricks are described as a novel alternative for construction, using research instruments to collect information from the population technically, in order to capture the preferences, requirements and their ability to acquire the blocks. The results obtained in this process allow to constructively demonstrate the qualities in the masonry units according to the types of mixtures studied to which the physical and mechanical properties were evaluated according to the NSR-10 and the Colombian Technical Standard. In the physical properties the adsorption of water, in the mechanical properties the resistance to compression (NTC – 4017). In the constructive part, the yields per m², analysis of unit prices, reduction of costs in materials and the levels of mitigation of environmental impact in relation to the production of clay brick in the traditional way.
