| Abstract |
There is a global interest in alternative building elements that accomplish an eco-friendly fabrication process and offer economical solutions. Raw quarry sludge was a residue with no acceptable compressive strength nor well-durability performance; hence, stabilization through physical and chemical additions was performed. Alkali stabilized quarry sludge (ASQS) can contribute to the reuse of industrial mining wastes and even use them as main materials on construction prefabricated elements, aligned with the circular economy principles. This study presents the experimental validation of a previously mechanical simulation of a block with solid geometry, using ASQS as the main material. Validation was carried out through a compressive strength test. Besides, block characterization is effectuated with different standardized tests such as capillary absorption, Abrasion, and Efflorescences. Thus, it could be determined that quality block standards are not accomplished due to issues in compaction as traditional techniques are employed. This way, further research, and development must be applied to the masonry element fabrication process, seeking the achievement of a new sustainable material and an economical prefabricated element with adequate mechanical performance. |
