Abstract Scope |
The red ceramic blocks produced by pressing and burning, called PBB (pressed and burned blocks) have been studied with the aim of making it possible to use this new type of material in the execution of structural masonry works. PBB grouted and non grouted prisms were evaluated for compressive strength and deformability. Two types of grout were used, the conventional one containing cement, sand, lime and gravel, trace by volume (1:2:1:1), and the light type with cement, lime, sand, expanded clay and air incorporation, trace by volume (1:1:2:1:0.15). The results indicate that the use of grout enables the use of PBB blocks in medium and small works, with an average strength of 2.54 N/mm2 for non-grouted, 3.15 N/mm2 for blocks with conventional grout ( approximate gain of 24% in strength) and 3.01 N/mm2 with lightweight grout (approximate gain of 19% in strength). |
