The influence of the addition of ground olive stone on the thermo-mechanical behavior of compressed earth blocks

摘要: Sustainable development and environmental challenges incite to valorize local materials such as agricultural waste. In this context, a new ecological compressed earth blocks (CEBS ) with addition of ground olive stone (GOS) was proposed. The GOS is added partial clay replacement in different proportions. main objective paper study the effect levels on thermal properties mechanical behavior CEB. We proceeded determining optimal water content equivalent wet density by compaction using hydraulic press, at pressure 10 MPa. maximum compressive strength reached 15% GOS. This percentage increases 19.66%, decreases conductivity 37.63%. These results are due responsible for consolidation compactness matrix. substitution up 30% shows decrease about 38.38% 50.64% respectively. dry related GOS, which composed organic porous fibers. seems promising improving thermo-mechanical characteristics CEB can also be used reinforcement CEBS .
