Accumulation of unmanaged agroindustrial solid wastes especially in developing countries has resulted in an increased environmental concern. Recycling of such wastes as a sustainable construction material appears to be a viable solution not only to the pollution problem but also an economical option to design green buildings. This paper studies the application of several agroindustrial wastes in brick manufacturing, which include cocoa shell, sawdust, rice husk and sugarcane. First, the mineralogical and chemical composition of the wastes and clayey soil were determined. Next, bricks were fabricated with different quantities of waste (5%, 10% and 20%). The effect of adding these wastes on the technological behavior of the brick was assessed by compressive strength, flexural strength and durability tests. Based on the results obtained, the optimum amounts of agroindustrial waste to obtain bricks were mixing 10% of cocoa shell and 90% of clayey soil. These percentages produced bricks whose mechanical properties were suitable for use as secondary raw materials in the brick production.
La acumulación de residuos sólidos agroindustriales no administrados especialmente en los países en vías de desarrollo ha dado lugar a una creciente preocupación ambiental. El reciclaje de tales residuos como un material de construcción sostenible parece ser una solución viable no sólo al problema de la contaminación, sino también una opción económica para diseñar edificios verdes. El presente trabajo estudia la aplicación de varios residuos agroindustriales en la fabricación de ladrillos, que incluyen cáscara de cacao, aserrín, cáscara de arroz y caña de azúcar. En primer lugar, se determinó la composición mineralógica y química de los residuos y del suelo arcilloso. A continuación, los ladrillos se fabricaron con diferentes cantidades de residuos (5%, 10% y 20%). El efecto de la adición de estos residuos en el comportamiento tecnológico del ladrillo se evaluó mediante ensayos de resistencia a la compresión, resistencia a la flexión y durabilidad. Con base en los resultados obtenidos, las cantidades óptimas de residuos agroindustriales para obtener ladrillos fueron mezclando 10% de cáscara de cacao y 90% de suelo arcilloso. Estos porcentajes producen ladrillos cuyas propiedades mecánicas eran adecuadas para su uso como materias primas secundarias en la producción de ladrillos.
