Abstract
The aim of this work is a development and characterization of a sustainable product from solid waste from civil construction. Morphology of collected waste has been analyzed by SEM/EDS. Residues have been macerated, mixed in different proportions with cement and water, and made into rectangular boxes. Mechanical test has been carried out by flexing three points on specimens, absorbing water and analyzing fracture by SEM. Morphology of samples have shown a heterogeneous and porous mass, with particles of different sizes, few agglomerates, and presence of organic material. Resistance to average rupture of samples has been obtained in MPa, characteristic of concrete for structural application. For CDR to be used in sustainable ceramics, it is recommended to improve a process of comminution and homogenization to guarantee reproducibility of lots and technological product properties. This being so, a mockup has been developed proposing a hollow element type product, Cobogó style, indicating potential of using civil construction waste as a sustainable product.
