Materials and Sustainability: the residual soil as an optimal construction material
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
This work aims to demonstrate the application of the process of geopolymerization to the manufacture of the soil-cement block (SCB) in order to obtain a geopolymerized soil block (GSB), since the production of soil blocks, stabilized with Portland cement and compacted manually constitutes an alternative to the construction of low-cost housing projects. Inorganic geopolymers, on the other hand, result from a chemical reaction known as geopolymerization. They are materials of remarkable hardness and mechanical resistance, as well as long-term durability. Geopolymers can be manufactured out of locally available, low-cost raw materials. Hardening a geopolymer compound takes a lot less energy than it does for its counterpart. Geopolymers can harden in a matter of a few hours at temperatures between 50 and 80 Celsius degrees. Besides, the BSG, due to their lower environmental impact, promise to become a key component in the development of sustainable cities, which each time exploit less of their own non-renewable resources.
