With the growing demand for aggregates for the construction industry in the city of Santarém and surrounding cities, and with the emergence of construction processes still little known in the region, such as the use of concrete blocks, the need to develop an experimental research for verification arises insusceptible of the characteristics of aggregates to be used in order to study the feasibility of applying them to the production of concrete blocks with structural function, class B – 4,0MPa ≤ fbk <8.00 MPa. A complete characterization, identification of exploration areas with their distances to block production sites in the city Santarém was approached. With the results were developed traits with the dry mixture of aggregates depending on their characteristics seeking to optimize and better compactness thereof, to more economic traits and which give the final product a better finish and resistance. The experiment was developed from a standard feature used in the city's factories and which served as a benchmark for the other elaborate experimental features, complying with the steps below. In the first stage was carried out to identify the aggregate producing sources in the city of Santarém and surrounding areas. Following a second stage, held expeditions collecting and packaging the samples. For the latest steps were carried out the characterization tests being: Kids grain size and coarse aggregates, mass determination and specifies apparent, fine materials and abrasion Los Angeles. Later traces were designed with optimized framework in the ideal particle size range, with the production of concrete blocks with structural function of families 14x29 and 14x39. In the last step tests were performed to verify the dimensional analysis, absorption index and resistance to compression individual blocks. Prior knowledge of the aggregates and framed adequate mixing in the ideal particle size range provided the reduction in the consumption of cement and favored the final product quality improving all its performance parameters.

The blast furnace slag charcoal is waste generated from the production of pig iron in blast furnaces. In the steel mills operating in blast furnace waste generation is approximately 250 kg per ton of pig iron produced. In this sense, the state of Pará figure as the second largest domestic producer of pig iron, reinforcing the importance of having a more detailed scientific research in order to minimize the environmental impact caused by the accumulation of this waste through the development of appropriate applications. In this context the present research aims to determine the mechanical properties of concrete produced with the partial replacement of natural coarse aggregate (AGN) for blast furnace slag (EAF). For this we performed a beneficiation process of the EAF by crushing in a jaw crusher and screening, then it performed a dose of study concrete with 100% AGN was performed immediately replacing (by mass) of natural aggregate by aggregate of blast furnace slag (0% - reference, 20%, 30% and 40%). tests were carried out in the fresh state (consistency) and in the hardened state (compressive strength, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity) of concrete produced with partial replacement of AGN by EAF at the ages of 28 and 63 days as well as scanning electron microstructure (SEM) of concrete. The results showed that the incorporation of the EAF in the mixture caused a gradual decrease in concrete workability. As well as the mechanical performance increased significantly compared to conventional concrete from the incorporation of 30% of EAF. Thus, incorporation of this waste in special concrete production improvements induced responses in all the analyzed mechanical properties when compared to conventional concrete.
