El uso de materiales provenientes de residuos de acero en los talleres de tornerías es de gran importancia en materia ambiental y económica, porque reduce la cantidad de sobrantes, favoreciendo y priorizando el cuidado del medio ambiente y la disminución de materia prima en construcciones civiles. Con el propósito de dar un uso adicional a las virutas de acero obtenidas en las tornerías en la ciudad de Portoviejo se ha desarrollado la investigación para sustituir parcialmente el agregado fino en el hormigón por este material, con la finalidad de obtener alternativas de integración  en  el  proceso  constructivo  y  a  su  vez en  el desarrollo sostenible de la ciudad.La presente investigación está fundamentada en el análisis de la prestación mecánica del hormigón a través de los ensayos de resistencia a la compresión como lo indica la (NTE INEN 1573, 2010), y el de resistividad superficial (AASHTO TP 95-11, 2011), utilizando virutas de acero como agregado fino en sustituciones porcentuales del 5%, 10% y 15%. Se evaluaron las propiedades físicas de los agregados, continuando con la elaboración del diseño de mezclas del hormigón de control y probetas de hormigón con sustitución parcial de virutas de acero, a cada probeta se le realizó el ensayo de resistividad superficial y el ensayo de la resistencia a la compresión en un periodo determinado de 28 días de curado húmedo. Se efectúo la comparación entre el hormigón de control y el hormigón de la investigación. Los resultados revelaron buen comportamiento mecánico del hormigón que contiene proporciones del 5%, 10% y 15% de virutas de acero como agregado fino, sus resistencias superaron la nominal (240 kg/cm2) por lo que es considerable realizar investigaciones futuras con porcentajes superiores.     Palabras clave — hormigón, virutas de acero, resistencia a la compresión, resistividad superficial.   Abstract ─ The use of materials from steel waste in turner’s workshops have a great importance in environmental and economic matters, because it reduces the amount of leftovers, favoring and prioritizing the care of the environment and the reducing of raw material in civil constructions. With the purpose of giving additional use to the steel shavings generated in the turner workshop, the city of Portoviejo has developing a research towards to partially replace the fine aggregate in the concrete with this material, in order to obtain integration alternatives in the constructive process and at the same time create sustainable development of the city. This research is based on the analysis of the mechanical performance of concrete through resistance compression tests as indicated by (NTE INEN 1573, 2010), and resistivity surface (AASHTO TP 95-11, 2011), using steel shavings as a fine aggregate in percentage substitutions of  5%, 10% and 15%. The physical properties of the aggregates were evaluated, continuing with the elaboration of the design of mixtures of the control concrete and concrete specimens with partial replacement of steel shavings, each test was carried out the surface resistivity test and the resistance test to compression in a given period of 28 days of wet cure. A comparison between the control concrete and the research concrete was made. The results revealed good mechanical behavior of the concrete that contains proportions of 5% and 10% and 15% of steel shavings as fine aggregate, its strengths exceeded the nominal (240 kg /cm2) so it is considerable to carry out future research with higher percentages.    Keywords—concrete, steel shavings, compressive strength, surface resistivity.

Resumo Normas relacionadas à gestão de Resíduos de Construção Civil (RCC) estão vigentes no Brasil há mais de uma década. O intuito dessa gestão é amenizar os impactos ambientais decorrentes do gerenciamento indevido desses resíduos. O objetivo do presente trabalho é investigar a conformidade técnica e legal de sistemas de gerenciamento de resíduos de construção civil no município de Curitiba. Para tal, elaborou-se uma lista de verificação baseada nas normas em vigor e em alguns modelos de certificações ambientais, como: LEED, AQUA, CASBEE, BREAM e HQE. 24 obras de edifícios residenciais e comerciais foram  visitadas — com ou sem certificação ambiental. Essa lista de verificação foi aplicada nas construções, para realizar um diagnóstico do setor. Apesar da gestão de resíduos ser obrigatória e restritiva à obtenção dos certificados de conclusão de obra, os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram que há problemas na segregação, acondicionamento e transporte dos resíduos. Entretanto, a falta de conscientização e a aparente conformidade documental não se traduz em efetivo gerenciamento dos RCC. Palavras-chave: Resíduos de construção e demolição. Gestão de resíduos. Resíduos sólidos. Auditorias ambientais. Abstract Standards related to the management of Construction Waste (CW) have been in force in Brazil for more than a decade. The goal of this management is to alleviate the environmental impacts resulting from the poor management of these wastes. The objective of this work is to investigate the technical and legal compliance of construction waste management systems in the city of Curitiba. To this end, a checklist was drawn up based on current standards and on some models of environmental certifications, such as: LEED, AQUA, CASBEE, BREAM and HQE. 24 works of residential and commercial buildings were visited — with or without environmental certification.  A checklist was applied, in these buildings, to promote a diagnosis of the sector. Although waste management is mandatory and restrictive to obtain building completion certificates, the research results showed that there are problems in the segregation, packaging and transport of waste. However, the lack of awareness and the apparent documentary compliance does not translate into effective management of the CW. Keywords:  Construction and demolition waste. Waste management.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) has an important role in the Indonesian economy, one of which can help the per capita income of the Indonesian state, especially in Banyuwangi Regency, as well as in the UM Banana Sale UD UD. Sumber Alam Buana, located at the eastern end of the island of Java, precisely in Banyuwangi. The UMKM is one of Banyuwangi's original typical food businesses from Ambon banana raw material, bearing in mind that typical food is identical to souvenirs (souvenirs) when visiting Banyuwangi, certainly not forgetting to bring and share them with you. However, there are problems in the field of production of UD Banana Banana UD, namely the low production capacity of processing banana raw materials because it still uses a cutting knife and the appropriate method has not been applied to record raw materials or finished goods so that the owner is less able to control the cycle of raw materials or finished goods. While in the marketing sector it is still conventional to be entrusted in a gift shop so that it can only wait for whether the product is sold or vice versa. The solution to the development activities of UMKM Sale Banana UD Sumber Alam Buana includes counseling and training using a banana chopper tool that is more efficient than a knife that has been used to chop banana raw materials. Whereas in terms of recording to help partners to control raw material inventory and finished goods efficiently and effectively, the need for training knowledge and assistance to owners and employees using a perpetual method stock card (inventory). To expand market share that has demanded the use of technology, training is held to make e-mail as a portal to access several e-commerce websites and to open online stores through social media such as Facebook and others. The results achieved in the Community Service program are the development of this business in terms of increasing production capacity, managing raw materials, expanding markets and increasing income.

Curent situation of raw material base and study of limestone like construction stone deposits in the Republic of Serbian were relatively poorly considered during the last decades, and the main problems are the following: low production capacity fragmentation of production, needs for raw materials homogenization and delivering of standard quality, undeveloped market, the recession of the domestic economy and the economies in the region, the relatively low level of exploration by many deposits, especially lack of knowledge of the occurrence legality for certain types and quality of raw materials and lack of complete quality indicators for raw material, which sometimes causes the utilization of only the highest quality deposit parts.This paper provides an overview of active quarries in the Republic Srpska with exploitation of limestone like technical building stone and present an attempt to determine the basic quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the raw material and the current working conditions at these quarries. The purpose of such a review would be in an effort to create a clearer picture about production, market, social and other aspects of the limestone exploitation in the Republika Srpska and the realistic possibilities of maintaining and developing of these mineral resources utilization, which can certainlybe interesting for the development of many other industries in the Republic Srpska.

This paper investigates the main parameters influencing the plastic behavior of clays used for traditional ceramics production. For this, twenty-six clayey pastes were selected from twelve traditional ceramic plants around the city of Marrakech (Morocco). According to the lithology, six different types of materials are used as raw material in the ceramic industry of this region. Emphasis is placed on the impact of the characteristics of these clayey materials upon the plastic behavior of these clays. The pastes were characterized through their consistency using the Atterberg limits. It has been concluded that the gain size, the mineralogical and the clay mineral composition and content, the effect of diagenesis and the presence of talc-pyrophyllite association play the most important role in the control of the plasticity behavior.
