This article describes the experimental design and testing of ecological blocks based on organic and inorganic materials. For the development of this project we formulated two experimental designs for the manufacture of blocks specifying the dimensions of the blocks, proportions, materials, and also the weight of those materials, then we brought those designs to the reality manufacturing 8 blocks for each experimental design. Later the testing of compressive strength of the blocks was made following the requirements of the Panamanian Technical Standard DGNTI-COPANIT 163-2001 for sampling and testing of blocks to determine if the ecological blocks satisfy the requirements of compressive resistance for non-structural blocks because they fall in this category for their dimensions as well as it is established in the Panamanian Technical Standard DGNTI-COPANIT 161-2001. Finally the results showed that the dimensions of the blocks for both experimental designs comply with the dimensions that must comply blocks of trade name 4 “x 18” for non-structural use, and also the blocks exceed the requirements of compressive strength with only 20 days of curing, having a resistance higher than expected and propose. |
