Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the density, compressive strength, tensile strength and the freeze-thaw resistance of a cement micro concrete made with sunflower stalks that replaced 20%, 35%, 50%, 60%, 80% and 100% of the sand from its composition. The results showed, in general, a decrease of the analyzed properties, but the use of 20% and 35% sunflower stalk aggregates led to the improvement of the splitting tensile strength. A significant advantage of this type of micro concrete was its density, being obtained a lightweight building material, with up to 822 kg/m3.
