Characterization of the raw material for the elaboration of a construction material, using diatomite and Construction and Demolition Residues (RCD)
Abstract
Construction and Demolition Residues (RCD) were characterized to determine an alternative use of this material in the elaboration of pumicite blocks from the use of RCD and diatomite to improve their mechanical properties. The results obtained by DRX and SEM-EDS and M. Optic, indicated that these RCD are mainly composed of aluminium, silicates and carbonates, as the majority phases. It was used to produce building materials (blocks) with some strength properties quite similar or even superior to those exhibited by commercial materials. The most important properties found with the use of diatomite and RCD in the incorporation of pumicite blocks are related to values such as compressive strength that show results that vary from 22 to 24.4 kg/cm2, higher than the commercial ones that present a resistance of 20 kg/cm2, having an increase of 20%, coupled with the decrease in the amount of cement when using diatomite in concrete, saving 2 packages (100 Kg) for every 20 packages (1 Ton) of cement and whose improvement generates increases resistance to early ages, reaching 90% compressive strength in 10 days.
