Structural behavior of soil-cement bricks using different sources of water and healing methods

Abstract:

This paper presents a proposal for a soil-cement brick production from alternative sources of water, and the water supply network and alternative sources such as river and sewage treatment station (ETE). For product validation, type and time tests and healing (natural, moist and watered) and compressive strength. The work provided appropriate results as the current standards, contributing to a context of sustainable construction.
