It is known that such residues have as characteristics: low specific mass, good acoustic and thermal behavior, stability, inert, not susceptible to fungi, besides having good potential to be used as a of synthetic attaché for elaboration of light composites, being a substitute for part of the natural aggregates. This work presents results of a research about the use of these residues as a light aggregate for the fabrication of masonry blocks designated to the Civil Construction, using an alternative material and a new geometry (EVANG Block). The objective was to develop a new masonry block with increased dimensions, if compared to the traditional sizes, to be used as an alternative masonry reusing industrial residues, preserving the environment, considering its characteristics and the manual process of manufacture with a steel mold specified at the experiments. The results show that the block, with dimensions of 59,0 cm x 26,5 cm x 11,5 cm (determined by a modulated pattern of construction), is highly flexible with an average strength of 0,82 MPa, using 80% of residues on its composition to replace the natural aggregates. Therefore, it may be told that there are important contributions in this research, showing its technical viability: the possibility to recycle an industrial residue, the reduction of the need of natural aggregates and the increase of productivity for the masonry walls at the buildings / A geração de resíduos de E.V.A. (Etileno Acetato de Vinila) pela indústria calçadista tem se constituído num problema para o setor e, ao mesmo tempo, tem despertado a atenção de pesquisadores para a reciclagem desses resíduos pela construção civil. Sabe-se que tais resíduos têm baixa massa específica e características termo-acústicas favoráveis, não são susceptíveis a fungos e têm grande potencial, para serem empregados como agregados artificiais sintéticos, em substituição aos naturais, na elaboração de compósitos cimentícios. Neste trabalho, apresentam-se os resultados de uma ampla investigação sobre a utilização desse resíduo como agregado leve na confecção de vedações na construção civil, utilizando um bloco não convencional com nova geometria (bloco EVANG). O objetivo foi projetar um novo bloco de vedação com novas geometrias, diferentes dos convencionais para se utilizar como elemento de vedação alternativo aproveitando os resíduos industriais, preservando o meio ambiente, considerando as peculiaridades do compósito utilizado e o processo manual de confecção dos mesmos em forma metálica, estabelecido nos experimentos. Os resultados demonstraram que o bloco projetado, que resultou nas dimensões: 59,0 cm x 26,5 cm x 11,5 cm (conforme estudo de modulação), possui uma boa característica de ductilidade com resistênc ia média de 0,82 MPa, utilizando 80% de resíduo de E.V.A. em substituição aos agregados naturais. Portanto pode-se dizer que há contribuições importantes neste estudo, viabilizando tecnicamente a reciclagem de um resíduo, a redução do consumo de agregados naturais e o aumento na produtividade na execução de alvenarias nas construções Alvenarias; Blocos; E.V.A.; Materiais não convencionais; Reciclagem; Resíduos Industriais.

The self-compacting concrete reduces the need for densification and scattering and facilitates concreting of slender pieces. The combination of these two concrete on one allows the linking of the qualities of both. In the construction industry, concrete production has potential to reuse some kinds of residues. In this work, the residue of industrial glass was used as mineral additive in the combined production of high performance concrete and self-compacting concrete. The residue of industrial glass, after the grinding process, was added to the concrete with the aim to evaluate its properties in fresh and hardened state. It was possible to evaluate and compare the performance of industrial waste glass with silica fume. Following the experimental program, the materials were characterized and Marsh Funnel tests and minicone of Kantro were performed with the superplasticizer MC-PowerFlow 1102. The optimum dosage of superplasticizer was evaluated in fresh concrete tests. Concrete were produced and characterized in fresh and hardened states. For characterization of concrete in the fresh state, the following tests were used: slump flow, T500, L box, funnel method V and segregation column method. For characterization of concrete in the hardened state, the following tests were performed: axial compression tests, traction by diametrical compression, static modulus of elasticity and water absorption by immersion. Concrete with the addition of waste ground glass hit resistance close to 67 MPa at 90 days, while the concrete with addition of silica fume hit resistance close to 88 MPa at the same age. As the concrete produced with addition of industrial waste glass obtained swift technical skills of high performance concrete and selfcompacting concrete, the results of this research were considered satisfactory. / O concreto de alto desempenho, além de alta resistência, tem baixa permeabilidade e maior durabilidade. O concreto autoadensável reduz a necessidade de adensamento e espalhamento e facilita a concretagem de peças esbeltas. A combinação desses dois concretos em um só permite a junção das qualidades de ambos. Na indústria da construção civil, a produção de concreto é um celeiro potencial para reutilizar alguns tipos de resíduos. Neste trabalho, o resíduo de vidro industrial foi usado como aditivo mineral na produção combinada de concreto de alto desempenho e autoadensável. O resíduo de vidro industrial, após o processo de moagem, foi adicionado ao concreto, com o objetivo de avaliar as suas propriedades no estado fresco e endurecido. Foi possível avaliar e comparar o desempenho do resíduo de vidro industrial com a sílica ativa. Seguindo o programa experimental, os materiais foram caracterizados e ensaios de funil de Marsh e minicone de Kantro foram realizados com o superplastificante MC-PowerFlow 1102. A dosagem ótima do superplastificante foi avaliada em ensaios de concreto fresco. Os concretos foram produzidos e caracterizados nos estados fresco e endurecido. Para a caracterização do concreto no estado fresco, foram realizados os seguintes ensaios: slump flow, T500, caixa L, método de funil V e método da coluna de segregação. Para a caracterização do concreto no estado endurecido, foram realizados os seguintes ensaios: ensaio de compressão axial, tração por compressão diametral, determinação do módulo de compressão estático de elasticidade e determinação de absorção de água por imersão. O concreto com a adição de resíduo de vidro moído atingiu resistência próxima de 67 MPa aos 90 dias, enquanto o concreto com a adição de sílica ativa atingiu resistência próxima de 88 MPa na mesma idade. Como o concreto produzido com adição de resíduos de vidro industrial obteve qualidades técnicas de concreto de alto desempenho e de concreto autoadensável, os resultados desta pesquisa foram considerados satisfatórios.

This bachelor thesis investigates strategies for enhancing sustainability in material usage within Xervon Sweden AB, a leading provider of scaffolding and weather protection solutions. The research integrates life cycle analysis (LCA) with the exploration of alternative materials and recycling methods to identify environmentally friendly approaches to managing plastic waste in facade work. The study employs a comprehensive LCA to assess the environmental impact of current scaffolding materials, including High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE). It explores new materials such as Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), evaluates their feasibility through data collection and analysis, and investigates innovative recycling and reuse methods in collaboration with industry partners. The results from this bachelor thesis revealed from the LCA that material extrusion contributes significantly to CO2 emissions and energy consumption. PHA emerged as a promising alternative due to its renewable sourcing and biodegradability, despite its higher cost. The study also identified a circular system for recycling scaffolding sheets into granules for manufacturing new sheets as the most efficient strategy for CO2 reduction. Additionally, opportunities for external reuse of plastic materials with painting companies and agricultural associations were explored. The conclusions drawn in this bachelor thesis is that Xervon is currently using the most sustainable material within its price range. While PHA shows potential for future adoption, creating a circular system for scaffolding sheets offers immediate benefits. Collaborations with external partners can further extend the lifespan of materials, contributing to overall sustainability efforts. Future research should include broader sustainability indicators and in-house laboratory tests to validate findings. By focusing on these strategies, Xervon can significantly reduce its environmental footprint while maintaining operational efficiency and economic viability. / Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker strategier för att förbättra hållbarheten i materialanvändningen inom Xervon Sweden AB, en ledande leverantör av ställnings- och väderskyddslösningar. Forskningen integrerar livscykelanalys (LCA) med utforskning av alternativa material och återvinningsmetoder för att identifiera miljövänliga metoder för hantering av plastavfall i fasadarbeten. Studien använder en omfattande LCA för att bedöma den miljöpåverkan som de nuvarandeställningsmaterialen, inklusive högdensitetspolyeten (HDPE) och lågdensitetspolyeten (LDPE), har. Den utforskar nya material såsom polyhydroxialkanoater (PHA), utvärderar deras genomförbarhet genom datainsamling och analys, och undersöker innovativa återvinnings- och återanvändningsmetoder i samarbete med industripartners. Resultaten från denna kandidatuppsats avslöjade från LCA att materialextrudering bidrar avsevärt till koldioxidutsläpp och energiförbrukning. PHA visade sig vara ett lovande alternativ på grund av dessförnybara källor och biologiska nedbrytbarhet, trots dess högre kostnad. Studien identifierade också ett cirkulärt system för återvinning av ställningsdukar till granulat för tillverkning av nya dukar som den mest effektiva strategin för att minska koldioxidutsläpp. Dessutom undersöktes möjligheter för extern återanvändning av plastmaterial med måleriföretag och jordbruksorganisationer. Slutsatserna som dragits i denna kandidatuppsats är att Xervon för närvarande använder det mest hållbara materialet inom sin prisklass. Även om PHA visar potential för framtida användning, erbjuder skapandet av ett cirkulärt system för ställningsdukar omedelbara fördelar. Samarbeten med externa partners kan ytterligare förlänga materialens livslängd och bidra till övergripande hållbarhetsinsatser. Framtida forskning bör inkludera bredare hållbarhetsindikatorer och laboratorietester internt för att valideraresultaten. Genom att fokusera på dessa strategier kan Xervon avsevärt minska sitt miljöavtryck samtidigt som de bibehåller operativ effektivitet och ekonomisk lönsamhet

The use of temporary, prefabricated buildings in Britain during the twentieth century arose from wartime need to provide better, and perhaps more importantly, portable shelter for troops and equipment. This thesis provides the first comprehensive list of hut designs for the First and Second World Wars. The full lists and descriptions of each hut are given in the appendices. These lists, 20 types for the First World War and 52 from the Second World War, show the huge range and scope of the huts used and is the major contribution of this thesis. The concentration here is on generic types. Some huts were designed as one-offs and there is no possible way to catalogue these. This thesis has focused instead on those designs or industrially-produced types, which were meant to be produced en-masse as generic solutions to the problem: the sort of hut that might justifiably be given a name (such as a ‘Tarran’, a ‘Seco’, etc.). This thesis provides essential information enabling historians to be able to identify these types. It uses primary and secondary sources to trace the development of these huts and the effect that wartime shortages had on their design. Beginning with the earliest examples of temporary military building, it then focuses on the huts of the First and Second World Wars followed by a study of huts grouped in chapters by material. This research shows that the wartime period pushed industry to make giant leaps forward with construction methods and materials in just a few short years, where otherwise it may have taken decades. This thesis aims to provide the first overview of this process and to enable future researchers to identify and understand the development of these important wartime structures, many of which survive to this day.
