Abstract
In Cuba, silvicultural management generates large volumes of wood canopy residues that are not industrially utilized, representing an environmental and economic problem. This study evaluated the suitability of Pinus caribaea and Eucalyptus saligna residues for the production of cement-based agglomerates, with the aim of offering a sustainable alternative. Crown residues of both species were used, crushed and processed to obtain 0.5 to 2.0 mm chips. Using the Sanderman test, the maximum hydration temperature was measured in an adiabatic system, using a wood-cement-water ratio of 1:10:5. The results showed that P. caribaea achieved a suitability coefficient of 82.9% (classified as "Very Good"), while E. saligna obtained 77% ("Good"). Both materials demonstrated compatibility with cement without the need for debarking or additives. It was concluded that these residues are suitable for the production of agglomerates, offering a viable solution for their use in housing construction.
