ABSTRACT
This integrative
project seeks to meet the design needs of civil engineers, the sustainable
requirements of recycling. Innovation is a process that comprises the creation,
development, use and diffusion of a new product. Thus, the need for alternative
technologies with more adequate production conditions is logical, for which it
is necessary to incorporate knowledge into existing processes, making them more
productive and rational. The problem raised in the project is to study a
material engineering with mixtures between polymer and clay in the production
of sustainable housing constructions. The general objective is to analyze the
sustainability in the use of ecological bricks with a polymer base,
specifically, Polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Specifically, to analyze the
technical feasibility of using the produced compost as engineering material;
carry out a bibliographic survey of works and reports that present pre-molded
or molded in loco construction systems that meet the requirements of agility,
quality and sustainability; describe the researched methods showing their
advantages, disadvantages, costs and performance and present a case study of
the construction method using the polymeric waste brick. The project is
justified in the current civil construction market in the new demand as a
condition for excellence in the sustainable construction activity. Innovation
is a process that comprises the creation, development, use and diffusion of a
new product. This work had the relevance of presenting a product that was
environmentally sustainable since its production, without large energy
expenditure, as highlighted by the ecological brick soil cement found commercially.
In order to use the raw material, it was determined that waste should be used
precisely, to give it a destination. Therefore, it can be concluded that the
construction industry is considered one of the sectors that most cause negative
environmental impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, it is of paramount
importance to incorporate sustainable, economically viable products that are
proven to be resistant to the production . process of construction.
