Avaliação do comportamento do concreto com adição de borracha obtida a partir da reciclagem de pneus com aplicação em placas pré-moldadas

Abstract

It was observed that the concrete is the most consumed material in the civil construction and not always satisfies all the demanded properties, its takes to researches that tries materials that can provide to the concrete more efficiency. This work, the discarding of residues procedures from the recycling of tires is focused, with the purpose to give to this material a rational destination, in the environment of the Civil Construction. The aim is to study the concrete behavior produced with rubber tire fiber addition, obtained by recycling of tire, and apply it on the confection of plates for to analyze the mechanical efforts behavior. The amongst of the additions are done in amongst usual for staple fibers. The bibliographical review disclosed that a reduction of the compressive strength when the rubber additions occurs. On the other hand, an increase of the ductility and the resistance for the impact occurs. The point of glow of the observed rubber was studied and it was observed that it occurs in a temperature range above of that one where the concrete has its deficit properties. With the short rubber fiber addition the same losses foreseen in literature without significant profits in the ductility are still verified. The rubber fibers chosen had been with low a relation length-diameter. This type for representing a small parcel and knowing that its separation can to add values that do not compensate its use as residue. Thus, it was considered that these results are satisfactory, a once that the possibility to include bigger rubbers fibers can increase the ductility.
