Use of clay bricks incorporating treated river sediments in a demonstrative building: Case study

The results obtained indicated that VOCs and metals concentrations in brick dust do not exceed the regulatory limit values, and this is not the case for the concentration of formaldehyde and the concentrations of PM10 fraction, which can be explained by the adjaction of this demonstrative building to an industrial site. On the other hand, the thermal test, in situ, demonstrates that the introduction of treated sediments does not have a significant impact on the thermal performance of construction.
