Análise estrutural de concretos produzidos com resíduos de beneficiamento de placas de mármore e granito

Abstract

The present work shows the feasibility of the use of cutting residues of marble and granite slabs in concrete production. The research was carried out in a series of stages, which comprised the collection of waste in the beneficiary companies, through the process of crushing, sieving of waste and production and breaking of specimens. The chemical analysis performed by x-ray fluorescence shows that the material meets the requirements of NBR 12653: 2015 for the concentration of aluminum, silicon and iron oxides, qualifying it as pozzolanic material. The results of axial compression showed that the mixtures produced with the substitution of aggregates meet the minimum requirements of NBR 6118: 2014 for application in structural elements subjected to moderate environmental aggression, class II. The traces were dosed following the instructions of the IPT / USP dosing method. 195 samples were produced, which were ruptured at 3, 7 and 28 days. Concrete was expected to reach at least 30 MPa at 28 days. The traces produced with the substitution of the aggregates presented smaller values than the reference trait. Regarding the absorption, it was observed that the traces with substitution of aggregates presented a slight increase in water consumption, which may explain the reduction in the indices of compressive strength.
