The possibility of using waste materials in building materials

Abstract

In recent years, great emphasis has been placed on the implementation of the principles of sustainable construction and environmental protection. Decreasing amount of natural resources and increasing amount of industrial waste have made it necessary to produce products with the use of recycled materials. A number of studies conducted allow us to state that artificial aggregates, industrial ashes and waste from the wood industry are widely used in the production of construction products. The aim of the article is to show that the use of waste materials will allow to reduce the weight and absorbability of concrete chips by using artificial aggregate type Certification and improve the thermal insulation of products through the use of sawdust and wood chips. A 2 factorial experience with a rotational experimental plan was planned. The article presents the results of physical and mechanical properties tests and statistical interpretation of the obtained results.
