Análise do comportamento físico e mecânico do concreto com adição parcial de pó de vidro

Abstract

The construction industry is one of the largest consumers of natural resources in the world. Thus, there are concerns about achieving sustainable alternatives to minimize the effects it causes in the environment. One option to reduce the damage caused by this department would be to promote the reuse of waste by inserting them as an aggregate. Studies done on glass show that it is a completely reusable material, and also has suitable characteristics to be incorporated into the construction. Considering the facts above, the present article shows, through an analysis of the physical and mechanical properties, the viability of replacing part of the fine aggregate with glass powder of the region of Dourados, in Mato Grosso do Sul, comparing the tests carried out with conventional concrete 1: 2.9: 2.1 (cement: sand: gravel) and the samples replacing the sand with 10, 15 and 20% glass powder. The results obtained were satisfactory, with the most effective result being the substitution of 20% of glass powder.
