摘要

The use of alternative materials in civil construction has grown exponentially in recent decades, driven by the demand for sustainable solutions. Among them, structural ceramic blocks stand out for combining technical performance with environmental responsibility. This study investigates the structural behavior of prisms and small walls built with Extruded, Pressed, and Fired Ceramic Blocks (BCEPQ)BCEPQ which are a promising alternative. Despite their potential, further research is needed on their mechanical propertiesMechanical properties, especially under static and dynamic loadsDynamic loads. Laboratory tests examined the failure modes, revealing a characteristic compressive strength of 4.86 MPa, in accordance with the Brazilian standard. However, water absorption reached 22.83%, slightly above the normative range. Prisms and small walls showed average strengths of 1.66 and 0.98 MPa. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) was used to monitor deformation. Additionally, a 3D numerical model was developed in ANSYS 2024 R1 to simulate both load types.
