Technical and environmental contribution to the comprehensivemanagement of construction projects in Boyacá with the use of pavingstones composed of residual materials

Abstract

Taking into account the importance of integrated construction management, and the contribution it
has in identifying, prioritizing and mitigating risk factors in the development of a construction project,
this project proposes a proposal aimed at sustainable value, therefore, an alternative of ecological
bricks obtained through the incorporation of waste materials (rice husks, chamotte, blast furnace slag)
is proposed. The incorporation of the aforementioned strategy seeks not only to generate an impact
on environmental development, but also to cover areas such as the circular economy, generating a
significant contribution in terms of improving industrial processes, reducing waste and improving
energy consumption, identifying the value of innovation and development; From the integral
management of works, the Colombian population was analyzed and the region of Boyacá was selected
as the focus point for the development of the proposal, since it is one of the most important centers
of brick manufacturing, thus, we will seek to incorporate paving stones to construction works in
municipal spaces in the region of Boyacá. To do this, an experimental research is chosen, on the effect
that has an added residual material (in this case, high oven scrap) to the components of the said
element, in order to evaluate the physical properties that it will have and thus consider whether it is
appropriate to implement this in construction; which would lead to mitigate both the environmental,
economic and even social impact that is currently being shown specifically in the Department of
Boyacá, since this place is located much of the brick of the country.
