Duzentas raízes com dimensões padronizadas foram divididas aleatoriamente em 20 grupos experimentais (n=10) nos seguintes tratamentos: retenções: pino de fibra de vidro (PFV), pino de fibra de vidro reembasado (PFVR), fibra de polietileno (FP), preenchimento do canal com resina composta (RC) e núcleo metálico fundido (NMF); remanescente: ausente ou com 2 mm de altura; coroa total: cerômero ou cerâmica pura. As coroas totais foram cimentadas com cimento resinoso e as raízes foram fixadas em resina poliestirênica, simulando-se o ligamento periodontal com material de moldagem à base de poliéter. As amostras foram submetidas ao carregamento tangencial de compressão, sob um ângulo de 135º a 0,5 mm/min até ocorrer a falha. Os resultados (ANOVA / Tukey a=0,05) demonstraram que houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os tipos de pinos (p=0,0058), sendo os grupos restaurados com PFVR e RC apresentaram os maiores valores de resistência à fratura, não diferindo estatisticamente dos grupos restaurados com PFV e PF, e os grupos restaurados com núcleos metálicos fundidos apresentaram os menores valores, não diferindo estatisticamente dos grupos restaurados com PFV e PF. Para os tipos de coroa total (p<0,0001), os grupos restaurados com coroas em cerômero apresentaram maiores valores de resistência à fratura em relação aos grupos restaurados com coroas em cerâmica pura. Os grupos restaurados com fitas de fibra de polietileno mais frequentemente apresentaram padrão de fratura favorável, enquanto os restaurados apenas com resina composta apresentaram padrão de fratura desfavorável, seguidos dos núcleos metálicos fundidos. Para os tipos de coroa total, os grupos restaurados com coroas em cerâmica pura mais frequentemente apresentaram padrão de fratura favorável quando comparados aos grupos restaurados com cerômero, sendo que o mesmo ocorreu para os grupos sem remanescente coronário, quando comparados aos grupos com 2 mm de remanescente / Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength of bovine roots endodontically treated and restored by different intraradicular retention varying the type of material of the total crown, in presence or absence of the coronal tooth structure. Two hundred roots with standardized dimensions was divided randomly into 20 experimental groups (n=10) in the following treatments: retentions: fiber glass post, (PFV), relined fiber glass post (PFVR), polyethylene fiber ribbon post (FP), filling of root with composite resin (RC) and cast post and core (NMF); coronal remainder: absence or presence of 2 mm of coronal structure height; total crown: ceromer or all ceramic crown. Total crowns were luted with resin cement and the roots were fixed in resin blocks and artificial periodontal ligament was simulated with casting material made of polyether. The specimens were submitted to compressive strength test at 135º and 0,5 mm/min until fracture occurred. The results (ANOVA/Tukey a=0,05) showed that it had statistical significant difference among the types of retentions (p=0,0058), being the groups restored with PFVR and RC showed the higher failure loads, not differing statistically from groups restored by PFV and PF, and the groups restored by cast post and core showed lower failure loads, not differing statistically from groups restored by PFV and PF. For the types of total crown (p< 0.0001), the groups restored by ceromer crowns showed higher failure loads than did groups restored by all ceramic crowns. The groups restored by polyethylene fiber ribbon post more frequently showed favorable failure modes, while the restored ones only by composite resin showed unfavorable failure modes, followed by cast post and core. For the types of total crown, the groups restored by all ceramic crowns more frequently showed favorable failure modes than did groups restored with ceromer crowns, being that the same it occurred for the groups without coronal tooth structure, when compared to the groups with 2 mm of coronal structure height / Doutorado / Dentística / Doutor em Clínica Odontológica

Problems of chemical incompatibility between the bagasse fibers and cement matrix components have been removed by specific treatments on the CBF, such as washing, boiling, mineralization with chemicals an a mix of cement and water in different combinations. The sugar cane fibers brake down process, used in other studies conducted with the same material, was not necessary, because nowadays the CBF is already broke down in the production process in the ethanol and sugar industry. The fibers were washed and mineralized with inorganic salts (solution of sodium silicate at 5%; aluminum sulfate solution at 3%) and cream of cement (the concentration of 10:1 of water and cement), in order to protect the fiber against the aggressions of the alkaline mortar, trapping organic matter and the residual sugar to avoid interference in the reactions of cement cohesion, reduce the capacity of water absorption. Different concrete mixtures were tested, in order to find one with better compressive strength. The change occurred in the content of CBF added, may be 1.5 or 3.0% by weight of cement and the type of treatment that these fibers were submitted. Were defined traits and body-of-proof molded and compressed manually into cylindrical molds of 5 cm ø and 10 cm in height, corresponding to five combinations of treatments, two ages, two levels of fiber and three replicates, and two types of reference to variations in curing type (moist chamber and the tank with water and lime). Later, the bodiesof- evidence were submitted to tests of compressive traction in diametral compression and water absorption at 7 and 28 days. The best treatments results were: washed CBF + boiled; washed CBF +boiled+cream cement; and washed CBF + boiled + chemicals. / Neste trabalho estão relatados os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada com o objetivo de avaliar, através de ensaios de laboratório, o aproveitamento do bagaço da cana-deaçúcar (FBC) em compósito de matriz cimentícia (argamassa de cimento, areia e FBC), avaliando o comportamento mecânico e físico do material obtido. Problemas de incompatibilidade química entre as fibras do bagaço e os componentes da matriz cimentícia foram solucionados através de tratamentos específicos da FBC, como lavagem, fervura, mineralização com calda de cimento e mineralização com produtos químicos, combinados entre si. O processo de desmedulamento das fibras do bagaço da cana-de-açúcar, realizado em outras pesquisas com o mesmo material, não foi necessário, pois atualmente a FBC já vem desmedulada pelo processo de produção na indústria sucro-alcooleira. As fibras foram lavadas e mineralizadas com sais inorgânicos (solução de silicato de sódio a 5% e sulfato de alumínio em solução a 3%) e com nata de cimento (na concentração de 10:1 de água e cimento), com a finalidade de proteger a fibra contra as agressões do meio alcalino da argamassa; imobilizar a matéria orgânica e o açúcar residual para evitar a interferência do mesmo nas reações de pega do cimento e reduzir a capacidade de absorção de água pela FBC. Diferentes traços de argamassa foram testados, visando encontrar aquele com melhor resistência à compressão. A variação ocorreu no teor de FBC acrescentado, podendo ser de 1,5 ou 3,0% da massa do cimento e no tipo de tratamento que estas fibras foram submetidas. Foram definidos traços e corpos-de-prova moldados e compactados manualmente em fôrmas cilíndricas de 5 cm de Ø e 10 cm de altura, correspondentes a 5 combinações de tratamentos, duas idades, dois teores de fibra e três repetições, além de dois tipos de referência com variações no tipo de cura (câmara úmida e no tanque com água e cal). Posteriormente, os corpos-de-prova foram submetidos aos ensaios de compressão simples, tração na compressão diametral e absorção de água aos 7 e 28 dias. Os tratamentos que apresentaram melhores desempenhos foram: FBC lavada + fervida; FBC lavada + fervida + nata de cimento e FBC lavada + fervida + produtos químicos.

As vitrocerâmicas bioativas são materiais sintéticos capazes de aderirem quimicamente aos minerais presentes na estrutura dentária. A união dos cimentos de ionômero de vidro modificados por resina (CIVMRs) à dentina pode ser influenciada por diferentes tipos de tratamentos prévios à restauração. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: avaliar a resistência à compressão, a rugosidade e a adesão à dentina de CIVMRs (Fuji II LC e Vitremer) após a incorporação de partículas de vitrocerâmicas bioativas (Biosilicato®); foi ainda, avaliar a resistência à degradação da adesão à dentina dos CIVMRs, utilizando-se EDTA como pré-tratamento dentinário. Para o teste de resistência à compressão foram confeccionados cilindros sendo que 2, 5 e 10 % em peso de partículas de vitrocerâmica bioativa foram incorporadas aos pós dos CIVMRs, armazenados em água destilada por 24h a 37°C até a realização dos testes. A rugosidade dos cimentos experimentais (2% de vitrocerâmica bioativa) e controles foi avaliada por microscopia de força atômica (MFA) após armazenamento a seco e em 100 % de umidade por 1 mês. Para os testes de microtração, as superfícies das cavidades foram tratadas seguindo-se as instruções dos fabricantes ou utilizando-se EDTA. Os espécimes foram restaurados com os CIVMRs experimentais (2% de vitrocerâmica) e controles. Após as restaurações, os espécimes foram armazenados em água por 24h e 7d. Para o teste de degradação, os CIVMRs foram armazenados por 24h, 3m e imersos em 10% de hipoclorito de sódio por 5h. Os dentes foram seccionados em palitos e submetidos ao teste de microtração. ANOVA e teste de múltiplas comparações foram realizados (p<0,05). O modo de fratura foi classificado em adesivo, misto e coesivo e alguns espécimes foram analisados em microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Apenas os cimentos com 2% de vitrocerâmica bioativa obtiveram resistência a compressão semelhante ao grupo controle. Para os grupos controles, Fuji II LC apresentou-se mais rugoso que o Vitremer e o seu armazenamento à seco aumentou sua rugosidade. A condição de armazenamento, seco ou úmido, não afetou a rugosidade dos CIVMRs experimentais. A vitrocerâmica bioativa aumentou significantemente a adesão à dentina dos CIVMRs após armazenamento por 24h, exceto para o Fuji II LC quando EDTA foi utilizado. A aplicação de EDTA aumentou significantemente os valores de resistência adesiva. No estudo de degradação da união, valores de resistência adesiva significantemente maiores foram obtidos nos grupos onde a dentina foi pré-tratada com EDTA. A resistência adesiva do Fuji II LC à dentina não foi afetada pelos métodos de degradação utilizados. Valores de resistência adesiva significantemente menores foram observados para os espécimes restaurados com Vitremer após os dois métodos de degradação, exceto quando a dentina foi prétratada com EDTA. As falhas do tipo mistas foram prevalentes. Em conclusão, 2% de partículas de vitrocerâmica bioativa podem ser incluídas nos CIVMRs sem afetar suas propriedades mecânicas. A rugosidade dos CIVMRs experimentais não foi afetada pelo meio de armazenamento. A inclusão de vitrocerâmicas bioativas aumentou a resistência adesiva somente após armazenamento de 24h. A utilização de EDTA como pré-tratamento dentinário aumentou a resistência adesiva para todas as condições e preveniu a degradação da interface adesiva do Vitremer. / Bioactive glass-ceramics are synthetic materials capable of chemically bonding to dental structures. Adhesion of resin-modified glass-ionomer cements (RMGICs) to dentin may be influenced by different types of dentin pre-treatments. The objective of this study was to analyze the compressive strength, roughness and adhesion to dentin of RMGICs (Fuji II LC and Vitremer) after the incorporation of bioactive glassceramic particles (Biosilicate). Additionally, the durability of the RMGICs adhesion was analyzed after the application of EDTA as a pre-treatment of dentin. Cylinders of RMGICs with incorporation of 2, 5 and 10 % in weight of bioactive glass-ceramic particles were made for compressive strength, and stored in water for 24h at 37°C. Roughness of control and experimental (2% bioactive glass-ceramic) RMGICs was analyzed by atomic force microscopic (MFA) after storage in dry and humidity conditions for 1 month. For the microtensile test, the surfaces of the cavities were treated following the manufacturers instructions or by applying EDTA. The cavities were restored with control and experimental (2% bioactive glass-ceramic) RMGICs. After restorations, the specimens were stored in water for 24h and 7 days. For the degradation test, the RMGICs were stored for 24h, 3 months or immersed in 10% NaOCl for 5h. Teeth were sectioned in beams and submitted to microtensile test. ANOVA and multiple-comparisons tests were used (p<0.05). Mode of failure was classified in adhesive, mixed and cohesive, some specimens were analyzed by scanning electronic microscopic. Only the RMGICs with 2% of bioactive glassceramic obtained compressive strength similar to the control RMGICs. The storage conditions, dry or humidity, did not affect the roughness of experimental RMGICs. Bioactive glass-ceramic significantly increased the adhesion to dentin of RMGICs after storage for 24h, except for Fuji II LC when EDTA was applied. The application of EDTA significantly increased the values of bond strength. For the degradation study, high values of bond strength were also observed in groups where the dentin was pre-treated with EDTA. The bond strength of Fuji II LC to dentin was not affected by the degradation methods. Vitremer specimens presented significantly lower bond strength values after degradation methods, except when EDTA was applied. Mixed failures were the most prevalent in all groups. In conclusion, 2% of bioactive glassceramic particles may be included in RMGICs without affecting their mechanical properties. Roughness of experimental RMGICs was not affected by storage conditions. The incorporation of bioactive glass-ceramic increased the bond strength after storage for 24h. The application of EDTA as a pre-treatment of dentin increased the bond strength for all conditions studied and prevented the degradation of adhesive interface of Vitremer.

Uma das áreas da engenharia civil que têm apresentado maior potencial de crescimento é a execução de edifícios em alvenaria estrutural. Usualmente são utilizados procedimentos puramente experimentais para o desenvolvimento dos processos construtivos e de projeto. Entretanto, a experimentação sem uma modelagem teórica prévia pode ser muito dispendiosa. A modelagem numérica, desde que confiável, pode ser de grande ajuda na redução do número de corpos-de-prova a serem ensaiados e do número de pontos a serem instrumentados, bem como o seu devido posicionamento. Isso significa diminuição de custos e maior eficiência na obtenção de resultados. No presente trabalho apresentam-se as ferramentas computacionais mais adequadas para a análise de alvenaria estrutural submetida a compressão, objetivando o suporte teórico a pesquisas experimentais. Elabora-se um estudo comparativo sobre os vários recursos de modelagem numérica, linear e não-linear, disponíveis em softwares comerciais baseados no método dos elementos finitos. Inicialmente, após a apresentação do estado da arte, investiga-se a modelagem numérica do volume elementar representativo da alvenaria. Modelos não-lineares são, então, escolhidos, aferindo-os com resultados disponíveis na literatura técnica. São realizadas simulações de casos específicos de paredes de alvenaria submetidas à compressão, assim como a interação de paredes sujeitas a carregamentos verticais. Resultados experimentais são comparados com os produzidos por modelos lineares e não-lineares, focando a análise na sua representatividade e no seu grau de precisão / The construction of structural masonry buildings has been one of the most increasing civil engineering areas. The development of building and design methods usually is based only on experiments. However, testing without previous numerical analysis can be very expensive. Numerical modeling, since reliable, can be greatly helpful for reducing the number of experimental tests and the number of instrumented points, including the improvement of their positions. That enables smaller costs and higher efficiency in obtaining the results. The present work deals with the most appropriate computational strategies for the analysis of masonry walls subjected to compression, focusing the theoretical support for experimental research programs. A comparative study is elaborated on the several capabilities of linear and nonlinear numerical models, which are available in commercial computer programs based on the finite element method. Initially, after the presentation of the state-of-the-art, the numerical analysis of the representative volume masonry element is investigated. Nonlinear models are chosen and confronted with available results in the technical literature. Specific cases of masonry walls submitted to compression are numerical simulated, including the interaction of intersecting walls under vertical loads. Experimental results are compared to those produced by linear and nonlinear numerical modeling, emphasizing their effectiveness and precision

The study of self-sensing cementitious materials is a constantly expanding topic of study in the materials and civil engineering fields and refers to the creation and utilization of cement-based materials (including cement paste, cement mortar, and concrete) that are capable of sensing (i.e. measuring) stress and strain states without the use of embedded or attached sensors. With the inclusion of electrically conductive fillers, cementitious materials can become truly self-sensing. Previous researchers have provided only qualitative studies of self-sensing material stress-electrical response. The overall goal of this research was to modify and apply previously developed predictive models on cylinder compression test data in order to provide a means to quantify stress-strain behavior from electrical response. The Vipulanandan and Mohammed (2015) stress-resistivity model was selected and modified to predict the stress state, up to yield, of cement cylinders enhanced with nanoscale iron(III) oxide (nanoFe2O3) particles based on three mix design parameters: nanoFe2O3 content, water-cement ratio, and curing time. With the addition of a nonlinear model, parameter values were obtained and compiled for each combination of nanoFe2O3 content and water-cement ratio for the 28-day cured cylinders. This research provides a procedure and lays the framework for future expansion of the predictive model.

This thesis deals with refractory concrete binding system based on aluminous cement and phosphoric acid. The prepared refractory concretes were fired at 1 000 °C. Various effects on compressive strength of refractory concrete were studied. The influence of aluminous cement content and phosphoric acid content, the influence of various admixtures, the influence of plasticizers and the influence of time and method of sample storage were studied. Simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis of the basic unfired sample were performed. Finally, selected refractory concretes were fired at 110, 200, 400, 600, 800, 900, 1 000 and 1 100 °C. The compressive strength of these samples was measured and powder X ray diffraction analysis was performed. The compressive strength of refractory concretes under intermediate temperatures (800–1 100 °C) was most increased in samples with metakaolin and gray microsilica.

In this thesis, the development of mechanical properties and structure of latex modified cementious materials during hydration was studied. Latex modified materials are composites of inorganic cement (portland cement) and organic polymer latex. Preparation, processing and fabrication of the polymer cement material based on portland cement was optimized with aim to reach the most compact structure of the product with the finest mechanical characters. The experimental part was pointed to observe influence of the type and amount of polymer latex with focus on mechanical characters and hydration kinetics with given filling as well as without it. In presented work, the possibility of compaction of the material by high-shear mixing within twin-roll mixer (the prototype for production of MDF composite) was verified. The second part of the labor was aimed to analysis of prepared polymer-cementitious material. For determination of influence of batching of added polymer latex on hydration of cement paste the thermal analysis (DTA/TGA) and infrared spectroscopy of composite was done. At last the microscopic observation by optical microscope was carried.

In the practical part of the surveyed, which is supposed to show the methodology of the survey to the evaluation process involving the setting apart of strength and classification of concrete and chemical analysis, which should show whether the concrete is not based on aluminous cement.

Man vill förkorta betongs bindetid dvs. den tid då betongytan kan behandlas så att betongytan blir slät efter gjutning. Det är en stor utmaning för företag som tillverkar fabriksbetong vintertid, eftersom bindetiden förlängs ju kallare klimatet är. Syftet med denna labboration var att visa hur Kalciumnitrart fungerar som bindetidsaccelerator i betong, och om Kalciumnitrart påverkar betongens fysikaliska egenskaper.  Följande faktorer har studerats för att se hur dessa faktorer påverkar betongens bindetid i kombination med användning av Kalciumnitrat. Betongens utgångstemperartur Typ av flyttillsatsmedel i betongen Betongens utgångskonsistens Betongens lagringsklimat Även hitta rätt dosering för att denna produkt ska vara lönsamt att användas i praktiken. Alla underökningar har utförts hos Sika AB laboratorium. All data har noggrant undersökts och använts i Excel program för framtagning av tabeller och diagram. Resultaten/slutsats i underökningarna visade följande. Bindetiden kan förkortas med Kalciumnitrat utan att behöva riskera betongens fysikaliska egenskaper. Enligt bindetidsdiagram noterades att 2,0 % och 2,5 % doseringarna gav bästa resultat gällande bindetid dvs. de gav kortast bindetid. Observera att +5 graders lagringsklimat gav ologiska resultat dvs. referensbetongen utan acceleratorn gav kortast bindetid. Tryckhållfastheten påverkas inte av acceleratorn dvs. man kan använda denna produkt utan att riskera betongens bärförmåga. Resultaten visade att betongens utgångskonsistens har stor betydelse för bindetiden, ju högre konsistens värde desto längre bindetid. Även betongens utgångstemperatur har påverkan på bindetiden, ju högre betongtemperatur desto kortare bindetid. / You want to reduce the concrete’s initial setting i.e.  the time the concrete surface can be treated so that surface gets plane after molding. It’s a big challenge for the companies that produce mill concrete in winter. Since the colder the climate gets the binding process will be extended. The purpose of this lab was to show how Calcium Nitrate functions as bonding time accelerator in concrete and if Calcium Nitrate affects the physical features of the concrete. The following elements have been studied to see how these elements affect the initial setting of the concrete in combination with the use of Calcium Nitrate. The initial temperature of the concrete The type of super plasticizer in the concrete The initial consistency Concrete storage climate Even finding the right dose so that this product will be profitable to use in the practice. All investigations have been made at Sika AB laboratory. All the data have been investigated and used in excel program for the product of chart and diagram. The results of the investigations showed the following:   Bond time can be reduced with Calcium Nitrate without needing to risk the physical features of the concrete.  According to bonding time diagram it was noted that 2.0 % and 2.5% doses gave the best result valid the initial setting i.e. that gave the shortest time of initial setting, Observe that +5 degrees storage climate gave illogical results i.e. reference concrete without the accelerator gave the shortest initial setting. Compressive strength does not get affected by the accelerator i.e. you can use this product without risking the concretes carrying capacity.  The results showed that the concrete initial consistency has a big importance to bond time, the higher consistency value the longer time of initial setting. Even concrete initial temperature has influence on the bond time, the higher concrete temperature, the shorter time of initial setting.

A pilot project in 2010, conducted at CBI, showed the capacity for pulp, micro fibrilars from the forest industry to act as Viscosity Modifying Agent (VMA) in concrete. This project was, however, too limited to find answers for optimal use of this kind of material. The forest industry company Stora Enso wants to find out if their pulp can be used in concrete in order to somehow improve its properties. Two micro fibrilar suspensions have been tested. The tested fibrils are in two sizes, the finer material named MFC1 has undergone more homogenization than the course material named MFC2. The fibrils have been evaluated in regard to how the fibrils react with mortars in both its fresh and hardened state. Tests have been conducted on the use of concrete equivalent mortars with a maximum aggregates size of 4 mm. Two water-cement-ratios have been used in the tests, 0.45 and 0.60. Three different fibril dosages have been tested, 1, 2 and 3 kg/m³. The results of these trials of cellulose fibrils has been evaluated in respect of rheology, compressive strength, flexural strength, cracking, shrinkage, water capillary porosity, anti-wash out resistance (underwater concrete) and as a possible surface coverage. The results from the trials, conducted in this report, show that an increased dosage of fibrils leads to an increased plastic viscosity. The fibrils appear to have no effect on the flexural- and compressive strength, and no effect on the shrinkage of the test specimens. According to our results it is not advisable to use the fibrils for the purpose of acting as an agent for anti-washout resistance, or as a surface coverage.   The work have been performed at Swedish Cement and Concrete Research Institute, CBI, in Stockholm in the spring of 2011. CBI is an institution whose mission is to create, apply and disseminate knowledge in the concrete and rock area. / Ett tidigare pilotprojekt har under 2010 utförts på CBI, och där undersöktes möjligheten för cellulosafibrer från skogsindustrin att fungera som Viscosity Modifying Agent (VMA) i betong. Utrymmet i detta projekt var dock för begränsat för att finna svar för optimal användning av denna typ av material. Nu vill skogsindustriföretaget Stora Enso ta reda på om massa från deras träprodukter kan användas i betong, för att på något sätt förbättra dess egenskaper. Vi har därför provat suspensioner innehållande två olika fraktioner av cellulosafibriller. De testade fibrerna finns i två storlekar, det finare materialet heter MFC1 och har genomgått med homogenisering än det grövre materialer som heter MFC2. Dessa två typer har tillsats i bruk och utvärderats i hur de reagerar i både brukets färska och dess hårdnade tillstånd. Testerna har genomförts på bruk med en maximal ballaststorlek på 4 mm. Två vct-nivåer har använts i försöken, 0,45 och 0,60. Tre olika fibrilldoser har prövats, nämligen 1, 2 och 3 kg/m³ fibriller. Resultaten från dessa försök av cellulosafibriller har utvärderats med avseende på reologi, tryckhållfasthet, böjhållfasthet, sprickbildning, kapillaritet, krympning, anti-urvaskning och som möjlig ytbetäckning.   De tester som har genomförts visar att med ökad dos fibriller ökar den plastiska viskositeten. Fibrillerna visade sig inte ha någon effekt på böj- eller tryckhållfasheten, samt ingen effekt på krympning av provkropparna. Testerna visar att fibrillerna inte heller agerar med någon possitiv effekt som anti-urvaskningsmedel, eller som ett täckande ytskikt.   Försöken har genomförts vid CBI Betonginstitutet i Stockholm mellan 21 mars och 8 juli år 2011.CBI är en institution vars uppdrag är att skapa, tillämpa och sprida kunskap inom betong och bergområdet.
