Estudo comparativo entre concretos confeccionados com seixo rolado e resíduo de corpos de prova de concreto como agregados graúdos

Abstract

The progress of civil construction, sometimes, seems to trample the limitations of nature and it becomes convenient to look for ways to reduce the impacts caused to the environment. Therefore, the present study aims to establish a comparison between concrete made with rolled pebbles (natural stone extracted from the bottom of rivers and which causes degradation of the environment) with concrete made with recycled coarse aggregate (from deteriorated specimens or construction waste). Such a comparison is given by carrying out tests arranged in standards. The study reiterates the possibility of reusing or recycling discarded materials that, sporadically, perform their functions better or equal to materials that will cause new environmental wear. Reuse, even if you add some processes during the production of the final material, still gives good results.
