Recycling of such wastes as a sustainable construction material appears to be a viable solution not only to the pollu tion problem but also an economical option to design green buildings. This p aper studies the application of several agroindustrial wastes i n brick manufacturing, which include cocoa shell, sawdust, rice husk an d sugarcane. First, the mineralogical and chemical composition of the wastes and clayey soil were determined. Next, bricks were fabri cated with different quantities of waste (5%, 10% and 20%). The effect of adding these wastes on the technological behavior of the bri ck was assessed by compressive strength, flexural strength and durability tests. Based on the results obtained, the optimum amounts of ag roindustrial waste to obtain bricks were mixing 10% of cocoa sh ell and 90% of clayey soil. These percentages produced bricks whose mec hanical properties were suitable for use as secondary raw mater ials in the brick production. 2014 artículo científico 0012-7353 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=49632758005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=496 Dyna application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Dyna (Colombia) Num.188 Vol.81
