Abstract:Soil-cement bricks are earth construction materials that have been gaining prominence due to their environmental advantages. The Brazilian Technical Standard NBR 8491 establishes physical and mechanical procedures to characterize these bricks. However, the thermal characterization is an important assessment, since it is related to the building's thermal performance. The objective of this study is to thermally characterize a panel of soil-cement bricks produced with mining tailings. For such, its absorptance (α… Show more
