(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-04-24) ALVES, Brenda Maiara Oliveira; CORDEIRO, Luciana de Nazaré Pinheiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9126233381230999; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7931-4042
Self-leveling mortar (SLM) is inserted in the construction market as an innovative product due to its special properties when compared to conventional mortars due to the filling of empty spaces and self-compacting only under the effect of gravity, the ability to flow and level without the occurrence of segregation. The use of CP V – ARI cement is common for its production, since its high fineness favors the fluidity of the material and for providing fast hardening, fundamental characteristics that must be considered in self-leveling mortars (SLM’s). However, the rare availability of this type of cement becomes a limiting factor for its applicability in the region. Therefore, the objective of this research is to develop the study of SLM dosage for screed, adapting it to local materials that favor its design and evaluating its influence on rheological and mechanical characteristics. For the production of these mortars, we used the adaptation by Lopes et al. (2018) of Tutikian's methodology (2004) for self-compacting concrete (CAA), using fines in partial replacement of cement, adopting as controllable factors the type of cement (CP I, CP II-E, CP IV and CP V-ARI) and the type of mineral addition (silica fume and metakaolin). For the characterization of SLM in the fresh state, the mini slump, mini V-funnel, flow retention, mass density and incorporated air content, determination of exudation and healing time tests were performed. In the hardened state, the mechanical resistance to compression and traction in flexion and the retraction of these materials were verified, since it is one of the main pathologies of SLM. Analyzing the results obtained, it was observed that the surface area of the tested cements was the factor that most influenced the performance of the produced mortars, where cements with larger surface areas needed more additive to achieve fresh properties and had the highest rates of retraction. Mineral additions contributed to the cohesion of mortars and reduced shrinkage in mixtures with contents of up to 25% metakaolin and 15% silica fume.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-09-16) LOUREIRO, Alexandre Máximo Silva; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7501959623721607
The city of Belém, northern Brazil, known as the metropolis of the Amazon, was established on the banks of the Guajará Bay on January 12, 1616, with the denomination of Nossa Senhora de Belém do Grão-Pará, capital of the Grão-Pará province, now the state of Pará. Currently, Belém still has layers of lime mortar on its colonial and imperial buildings, which protect the secular structures and provide evidence of how this material was produced early in its history. Over the years, the deteriorating aspects identified in lime mortars, which damage both aesthetics and functionality, are related to the humidity, saline efflorescence, biological colonization, and/or anthropic actions. Once deteriorated, mortars require maintenance, consolidation, or replacement, which are difficult procedures that can lead to the use of inappropriate materials. Therefore, a good collect and characterization strategies of the original material is necessary for the restoration of historical monuments, because in studies focused on restoration science, the intervention strategy needs to include the use of building materials compatible with the original materials. Thus, the main objective of this doctoral thesis is to determine the characteristics and properties of historical mortars in Belém do Pará from the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as to propose a restoration mortars compatible with the historic mortars, which using industrial waste from Amazon Region. Therefore, this thesis was structured in three independent and complementary thematic articles, which addresses the topic of the historical mortars of Belém do Pará, since their characterization until the proposal of restoration mortars: 1) Investigation of the historical mortar of Belém do Pará, Northern Brazil; 2) How to estimate the binder: aggregate ratio from aerial lime-based historical mortars for restoration? and; 3) The use of industrial waste of the Amazon region in lime-metakaolin restoration mortars: compatibility assessment. Thus, the physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics were determined, as well as the physical and mechanical properties of the historical material and the restoration material. The results of the historical mortars characterization pointing their main components, their functions and raw materials, besides indicating the analytical techniques used for binder: aggregate ratio quantification, which obtained good accuracy and reliability in your results. Moreover, the results show a wide range of characteristics and properties obtained through restoration mortars, which can serve as a benchmark for other studies or even for practical applications in historic masonry. Therefore, it was possible to identify the restoration mortars most compatible with the historical mortars of Belém do Pará, Northern Brazil.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-09-05) LOUREIRO, Alexandre Máximo Silva; SANJAD, Thais Alessandra Bastos Caminha; ANGÉLICA, Rômulo Simões; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7501959623721607; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8950586647715771
In the historical monuments of Belém structural masonry, along with the foundations and pillars, are responsible for supporting the building (VASCONCELLOS, 1979). These masonry are made of stone and solid bricks with lime mortar setting and can present various pathologies among which stand out the action of salt efflorescence and moisture. These two agents cause detachment of layers, mortar spraying, the appearance of cracks in masonry, and whitish appearance (HENRIQUES, 1994; CHAROLA, 2000). The research has as main objective the identification, characterization and attenuation of salt efflorescence, through study of the masonry of the right transept of the Church of St. Alexandre, located in historic downtown of Belém- PA. For this, laboratory techniques were used in order to understand the favorable process conditions of salt efflorescence, the damage to the materials, the kinds of salts and which materials are effective for desalination. First was the mapping the masonry and mapping damage to verify the current situation and the most degraded areas. Was subsequently performed the physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization: 1) physical characterization by sieve analysis, trace analysis and analysis of the moisture content of the masonry, 2) chemical characterization through qualitative and quantitative testing of salts and 3) characterization mineralogy by X-ray diffraction. The X-ray diffraction was also used to evaluate the efficacy of four types of desalination mortars containing clay (bentonite and kaolin) and sand in different ratios. At the end of the study it was found that the suggested techniques for characterization and mapping of the masonry proved efficient and aided in the correct diagnosis of the existing problem. Moreover, the research showed which kinds of mortar are recommended to desalination of masonry damaged by salt efflorescence.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-10-28) SILVA, Cecília Rodrigues da; PAES, Isaura Nazaré Lobato; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3432832117667434
This paper discusses, in a scientific way, the experimental study conducted to investigate the mechanism of adhesion of the mortar coating applied over masonry of ceramic blocks with different basic treatments, namely: (reference 1:3, cement and sand in volume - no cure, 1:3, cement and sand by volume - with healing, 1:3 + SBR additive, cement and sand by volume - no cure, 1:3 + SBR additive, cement and sand by volume - with healing). We adopted three different ages (7, 28 and 120 days) in order to verify the evolution of adhesion over time, both assessments being made on site (in situ) and additional tests in the laboratory. The determination of the tensile bond strength of mortar was facing as a parameter normative NBR 13528 (ABNT, 1995) and the results were subjected to statistical analysis of variance. Were also analyzed aspects related to the influence of both the pore structure of the plaster as the porous substrate adherence, through the techniques of mercury intrusion porosimetry, porosimetry by desorption of water vapor, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction Based on the results obtained showed that the basic treatment, the continuous process of healing the lining damp and age are significant factors in bond strength as well, if you choose to use conventional Chapisco (1:3, cement: damp sand by volume), it becomes importantel the continuous process of healing (for a minimum of 48 hours). In case you choose to use the additive Chapisco, this should not be subjected to excessive moisture (moist cure).

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-10-22) LIRA, Mariana Domingues von Paumgartten; MACEDO, Alcebíades Negrão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8313864897400179
This research aims to evaluate the retraction, by the mortar superficial movement, occurrence of cracking and detachment of the mortar. Were choosed two types of substrate, one with a 30 Mpa resistance and other with 40 MPa resistance, also were used two types of mortar, one with additive and other lime based, two thicknesses of coating layer, from 15 mm and 30 mm, and was simulated the exposure condition that the region has.For this, tests were performed to characterize the mortar in the fresh state (consistency, water retention, air entrainment and mass density) and in the hardened state (compressive strength, tensile strength in bending, specific gravity, water absorption, voids and density). After preparation of the samples for evaluation, were taken the measures of superficial movement of the mortar for 28 days and the occurrence of cracks and detachment, as well as the verification of the bond strength of the coating and also the loss of water by evaporation of mortars. As a result of this research, it was observed that the variation of the resistance of the substrate analysis not showed a significant difference in the shrinkage, as well as the thickness of the layer to some series. It was also found that the type of mortar, or the material composition, has a direct influence on retraction. With regard to water loss by evaporation from the mortar, it can be seen that the additive achieved greater success in water retention materials. In the test of bond strength, was found that the most significant influence was in relation to the composition of the mortars and that they had values above the minimum allowed by regulatory norm.

Formulações de argamassas autonivelantes para contrapiso com incorporação parcial de agregado reciclado de concreto
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-01-21) OLIVEIRA, Thais Valadares; CORDEIRO, Luciana de Nazaré Pinheiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9126233381230999; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7931-4042
Self-leveling mortar is a material with advantageous characteristics for the industry of civil construction, among them: high flatness, low thickness of the elements that use it, rapid application and short demand of labor for its execution. In order to add knowledge about this material, as well as to make it more sustainable, by incorporating recycled concrete aggregates in its mixture, the present work was proposed. The main objective was to build self-leveling mortars with incorporation of these residues and to characterize them in the fresh state, verifying the technical feasibility of their use. Furthermore, in a complementary manner, it was observed how different combinations of additives may influence the properties of these mortars. Based on the use of a base formulation, available in the literature, eight traces were produced, including four variations of replacement of common sand by recycled aggregate (0%, 25%, 50% and 75%) and two possible combinations of additives, one employing in parallel a superplasticizer additive and a viscosity modifying additive and another in which only one polyfunctional plasticizer additive was applied. Initially, each mixture passed through individual adjustments so as to have adequate consistency, flow time and visual configuration, without demonstrating the occurrence of exudation or segregation. Thereafter, fresh tests were carried out to verify exudation, mass density, incorporated air content and curing time of the mortars. At the end of the research, it was noticed that the incorporation of recycled aggregate in self-leveling mortars could be a technically feasible option, and even advantageous for the mortars formulated with it, considering the evaluated properties, by reducing, among the mixtures with the residue and those ones of reference, the amount of additive employed (up to 0.2%), the exudation (the quantity of water exuded reached 2.04% in a mixture with recycled aggregate and 2.61% in a mixture of reference), the incorporated air content (ranging from 0.17% to 1.34% between traces with and without recycled aggregate) and the mass density (reduced up to 5.5%). Among the combinations of additives, in turn, it was observed that the most satisfactory was the one that employed polyfunctional additive.

The main objective of this dissertation is to evaluate the effect of partial replacement of cement by silica fume on the physical-mechanical behavior of coating mortars with recycled concrete aggregate (RCC) and to analyze its environmental impacts, considering CO2 emissions and energy consumption. generated in the production of mortar raw materials. We tried to evaluate the influence of recycled aggregates in proportions of 1:3 and 1:4 (in mass) by partially replacing the natural aggregate with 0%, 30% and 50% RCC, and each of these groups was subdivided with substitutions partial cement by silica fume in the contents of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%. The results allow concluding that the increase in the recycled aggregate content in the mortars impacts on its rheology and reduces its mechanical properties compared to the reference one, being softened with the incorporation of silica fume. Regarding environmental impacts, cement was the main cause of impacts. Samples R0S15 present the highest cement consumption in both the 1:3 and 1:4 mixes and, therefore, generate greater impacts. However, the impacts generated per unit of resistance show an inverse situation. Therefore, despite generating higher CO2 emissions and energy consumption, their contribution to resistance reflects greater sustainability.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-05-12) SILVA, André Luis Mileo Ferraioli; FELIPE, Augusta Maria Paulain Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8871741271063047; SOUZA, José Antônio da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6157348947425968
Mortars are considered to be particulate systems in suspension with fine aggregate, binder, water and organic polymeric additive. Factors such as granulometry, cement, ash and additive contents in their composition influence mortar properties in both the fresh and hardened states. A rheological study and mechanical test were performed on mortar prepared for floors and coatings through incorporating civil construction wastes (RCC) such as fine aggregate and fly ash, a mineral waste derived from combustion in boilers at the HYDRO ALUNORTECompany. This study seeks to develop a polymeric mortar that uses CPII E-32RS Portland cement andflyashas binders and fine sand and RCC with polyvinyl acetate (PVA) as aggregates. A study was performed on the influence of cement, ash, granulometry of aggregates and use of PVA based-polymeric additives on mortar properties.The materials were submitted to physical and chemical characterization using granulometric analysis, X-ray fluorescence and FTIR. In preparing the specimens, 6 formulas with 5% cement and 3 formulas with 10% cement were used, both with different levels of ash, sand and RCC andmaintaining a constant level of Portland cement content. A comparison of the mechanical and rheological properties of formulas with and without PVA was also made.Formulas in a fresh state were submitted to rheological tests. After 28 days of curing specimens of these formulas, by then in a hardened state, were submitted to tests for mechanical resistance to compression, specific mass, apparent absorption and apparent porosity. The research demonstrated that employing a PVA-based polymeric additive improved the mechanical properties of the mortar prepared with industrial wastes, as well as guaranteeing satisfactory rheological behavior for possible applications of such mortars in civil construction.

The mortars may be considered as a set of solid suspended particles (aggregate), water and binders (cement slurry). Thus, rheological behavior during cure can be influenced by factors such as particle size, composition and content of corporate water. This study investigated the rheological properties of six mortars, depending on the content of fly ash as a pozzolanic activity material, partial replacement of cement. This type of cement used as an aggregate base construction of the residue (RCC) which was characterized by diffraction and fluorescence X- rays. Were formulated for the mortars with addition of rheological tests residue construction (RCC) in proportions of 95, 90, 85, 80, 75 and 70% fly ash (CV) 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 % to 5 % of ordinary Portland Cement (PC - II and 32), and in each sample was incorporated 35 % water. We used the model VT 550 viscometer with sensor type coaxial cylinders SV1 - Haake temperature of 28 ºC. To evaluate the curing time of the material has scheduled a constant shear rate 53.4 s-1 for 1h and 45 min, with rated torque at intervals of 15min. For the development of flow curves and hysteresis curves, we used the shear rate between 0 and 600 s-1 in the time interval of 120 s. The results showed that the incorporation of fly ash is the main factor for increased torque on the curing time of mortar and behavior change reópetico for thixotropic, the traits analyzed. The experimental data of the proposed formulations are adjusted to the rheological model of Herschel - Bulkley.

The Internal and External Vertical Painel Systems are the parts of the residential building that limit it vertically and delimit its environments, such as facades and walls or internal partitions. The use of seals with lower density than masonry provides a reduction in the mass of this subsystem, reducing the demand for aggregates and binders, in addition to reducing the load on the structure, which allows for optimization of its design. The objective of this work is to verify the viability of the production of cementitious slabs with the incorporation of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads for application in internal vertical sealing elements. For this, mortars with a 1: 3 line (cement: sand) were produced, with levels of incorporation of expanded polystyrene of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% in relation to the total volume of materials. Mortars were characterized in the fresh state, through the determination of mass density and consistency index, and in the hardened state, for knowledge of the density properties in the hardened state, resistance to compression and traction, and modulus of elasticity. After knowing the characteristics of the mortars, cementitious slabs were produced, reproducing the same trace in the specimens. The plates were tested for bulk density, water absorption, water permeability and flexural strength. The results of this work demonstrated that the cementitious slabs with the incorporation of up to 20% of EPS present technical characteristics for application in internal vertical sealing systems.

The increasing global demand for manganese ore and environmental impacts associated with the disposal of ore waste have motivated studies about the reuse of materials from tailings dams. In this context, the main objective of this work was to study the reuse of manganese waste as materials for civil construction. For this purpose a characterization of the Mn tailings was made from a physical, chemical, mineralogical, environmental and reactivity point of view. From these analyzes, feasible applications for the tailings were investigated. The first one was to study its reutilization as a filler in Portland cement. For this, reference mortars and mortars with 6, 8 and 10% substitutions were made to the cement. The mortars were tested for compressive strength and total water absorption and voids index at 28 days. The tests showed that the mortars with substitution contents obtained positive results when compared to the reference mortars. Inducing the resistance gain mainly for the percentages of 6 and 8%, as well as for the results of total absorption and voids index. A second investigation was carried out to study the reuse of Mn tailings as a fine aggregate in the manufacture of concrete. For this purpose, reference concrete and concretes were made with 15, 20, 25 and 30% substitutions to the natural fine aggregate. Through the analysis of resistance to axial compression a positive result was observed for both samples, especially for concretes with 15 and 20% substitution. The tests of tensile strength and modulus of elasticity achieved satisfactory results for both samples, especially for concretes with 20, 25 and 30% of substitution. In the capillary absorption analysis, the concretes with substitutions presented significant variations when compared to the reference concretes. The samples of 15% and 30% were the ones that less absorbed water, and the results of the 20 and 25% samples were still below the absorption values of the reference concrete. In this way, the reuse of this waste as materials for civil construction becomes feasible from a technical and environmental point of view.

As a result of the growth of cities and the greater demand for quality of life, the demand for drinking water has increased in recent decades. Like any industrial process, the production of water for human use generates large quantities of by-products, being the main designated residue of waste, sludge or sludge of Water Treatment Station (WTPS). So far, the most common destination for the WTPS is the watercourse, although it is considered a solid waste. These factors motivate research aimed at alleviating the problems caused by incorrect waste disposal in the environment. In this sense, the present paper presents an alternative proposal for the disposal of WTPS in mortar, partially replacing cement, whose extraction and employment also cause environmental impact. The WTPS was used in the mortar with the least possible alteration of the residue, that is, its in natura use to avoid energy expenditure and to enable its use. The characterization of the materials used, as well as the physical, chemical, mineralogical and thermal characterization of the sludge extracted from WTP Bolonha, located in the metropolitan area of Belém, was carried out. The analyzes provided data that were the basis for investigations of viable applications for the residue. The first investigation studied its use as pozzolan in Portland cement, for which the tests that analyzed its potential reactivity with lime and cement were carried out. The investigation of the pozzolanic activity, both with lime and cement CP II-F-32, showed that mortars with replacement contents obtained lower results than required by the respective standards, discarding their use for this purpose. The second research analyzed the effects of the use of the residue as a filler in Portland cement, the reference mortar (without addition of sludge) and traces with additions of 6, 8 and 10% were used. In the compressive strength the 6% replacement content of the cement Portland CP I-25 by WTPS produced a resistance increase of 8,93% at 7 days and 3,24% at 28 days of age, in relation to the reference mortar, besides absorbing 7,81% water less than conventional mortar. Although the use of sludge occurs in small quantities, its use is feasible, since its incorporation will reduce the consumption of the raw material required for the production of mortar.

Restauração do concreto aparente: estudo tecnológico para salvaguarda de edificações com tendências modernistas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-03-21) OLIVEIRA, Djanira Cabral Viégas Borges da Cruz; PAES, Isaura Nazaré Lobato; SANJAD, Thais Alessandra Bastos Caminha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8950586647715771; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3432832117667434
Concrete is basically formed by mixed cement, water, sand and stone, and has emerged as a building material to replace wood, stone, brick and even structural steel, but only in the twentieth century its aesthetic beauty was recognized. The modernism appropriated the new constructive technology and its plastic possibilities and splited definitively with the passed styles. Influenced by the schools of Rio and São Paulo, architects and engineers who built at Belém left a legacy of unfinished concrete constructions, which unfortunately is being threatened by the lack of specific care, since many interventions are made in a random and misguided way. Therefore, the aim of this research is to study the unfinished concrete under the historical and technological aspects in order to develop a methodology for restoration of areas with gaps, considering aspects such as color, texture and strength, seeking a compatible material to the original concrete. The study was conducted in three different steps: 1) Historical Research, 2) Field Research; 3) Research Laboratory. The materials of this study correspond to samples collected in three buildings and laboratory samples. The physical characterization of the samples allowed to find the approximated trace of the old concrete of 1:3 and the strength of the material, which is approximately 22MPa. The chemical and mineralogical characterization indicated that the original material has been suffering process of mineralogical transformation evidenced by the presence of polymorphs of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and allowed to understand that the aggregates used in the composition of the material may have quartz or gravel origin. It was also observed that the color and texture of the material varies depending on the type of cement and aggregate used in the production of concrete. From the identification of the principle features of the original materials was developed a methodology for producing a mortar for restoration with properties similar to the antique material. The results as color, texture, and strength were satisfactory, because the values established by rule were accomplished and were also compatible to the appearance of the original concrete, allowing restoring the image of the building and achieving the proposed objectives.
