Based on these, this study set out to study self-compacting lightweight concrete made with two distinct grades of expanded clay associated with the addition of plasticizing/superplasticizers additives and mineral additions of metakaolin and bagasse ash of sugar cane. There is also an object of study, evaluation of pozzolanic activity of mineral admixtures and their influence on the durability characteristics of concrete. The rheological, physical, mechanical and microstructural analysis in this study served as basis in the classification of concretes autoadens?veis, targeting the national technical requirements for their classification in the category autoadens?vel and lightweight structural. The inclusion of mineral admixtures (metakaolin and bagasse ash of sugar cane), partial replacement of cement, pozzolanic activity and demonstrated maintenance of mechanical properties through the filler effect, a reduction of up to 76% of the nitrogen gas permeability in blend with 20% bagasse ash. All concretes had rheology (cohesion and consistency) suitable for self-adensability as well as strength and density inherent structural lightweight concrete without presenting phenomena of segregation and exudation / A busca por materiais alternativos de menor massa espec?fica, redu??o na transfer?ncia de calor e propaga??o do barulho, associado ? facilidade de manuseio e aplica??o em estruturas de concreto armado, representa grande desafio na formula??o e conhecimento do desempenho de concretos estruturais leves autoadens?veis, que tem tecnologia pouco difundida em n?vel nacional, e surge no cen?rio internacional como um material inovador e alternativo ao concreto convencional. Frente ao exposto, este trabalho se prop?s a estudar concretos estruturais leves autoadens?veis elaborados com duas gradua??es distintas de argila expandida associados ? inclus?o de aditivos plastificantes/superplastificantes e adi??es minerais de metacaulim e cinza de biomassa de cana-de-a??car. Tem-se ainda como objeto do estudo, a avalia??o da atividade pozol?nica das adi??es minerais e sua influ?ncia nas caracter?sticas de durabilidade dos concretos. As propriedades reol?gicas, f?sicas, mec?nicas e microestruturais, analisadas neste estudo, serviram como fundamenta??o na qualifica??o dos concretos leves autoadens?veis, visando ?s exig?ncias t?cnicas nacionais para sua classifica??o no quesito autoadens?vel e estrutural leve. A inclus?o das adi??es minerais (metacaulim e cinza de biomassa de cana-de-a??car), em substitui??o parcial do cimento, demonstrou atividade pozol?nica e manuten??o das propriedades mec?nicas atrav?s do efeito filler, apresentando redu??o de at? 76% da permeabilidade a g?s nitrog?nio na mistura com 20% de cinza de biomassa. Todos os concretos dosados apresentaram reologia (coes?o e consist?ncia) adequada para autoadensabilidade, bem como resist?ncia e massa espec?fica inerentes aos concretos estruturais leves, sem apresentar fen?menos de segrega??o e exsuda??o

Alimentos armazenados n?o podem sofrer varia??es bruscas de temperatura, o que impede a utiliza??o de silos met?licos em regi?es tropicais. Com isso, s?o comumente fabricados em concreto, diminuindo a troca de calor do meio externo com o interior. Diferente do concreto convencional, o concreto leve apresenta massa espec?fica aparente reduzida e bom isolamento t?rmico. O objetivo deste trabalho foi obter formula??es de concreto leve refor?ado com fibras de a?o e polipropileno, pass?veis de aplica??o na fabrica??o de silos para estocagem de gr?os. Foram formulados tra?os contendo fibras de polipropileno e tra?os contendo a fibra polim?rica em conjunto com a fibra de a?o. Para todas as composi??es foram utilizadas as mesmas concentra??es de aditivo plastificante e agregados. O agregado gra?do foi composto por duas gradua??es de argila expandida, a primeira entre 0 e 5 mm (AE-0500) e a segunda com gradua??o entre 6 e 15 mm (AE-1506). O agregado mi?do utilizado foi areia natural com m?dulo de finura de 2,31. O fator ?gua / cimento (FAC) foi mantido em 0,40. Foi poss?vel observar que a adi??o somada de 0,4% fibras de polipropileno e 0,6% fibra de a?o ocasionou redu??es significativas nos valores da porosidade total, ?ndice de vazios e absor??o de ?gua por imers?o, indicando redu??o na permeabilidade do comp?sito e prov?vel aumento na durabilidade. Em contrapartida, o tra?o contendo 0,1% de fibras de polipropileno e 0,9% de fibra de a?o, apresentou maiores valores de resist?ncia ? tra??o e de m?dulo de elasticidade. Todos os tra?os apresentaram resist?ncia acima de 19,2 MPa e massa espec?fica inferior a 1000 kg/m?, caracterizando-os como concretos estruturais leves. / The storage bins are used for storage of products for a certain period. Food stored can not undergo sudden changes in temperature, which prevents the use of metal silos in tropical regions. Thus, they are commonly made of concrete, reducing the heat exchange from the external environment with the interior. Unlike conventional concrete, lightweight concrete has reduced bulk density and good thermal insulation. The aim of this study was to obtain lightweight concrete formulations reinforced with steel and polypropylene fibers could be applied in the manufacture of silos for grain storage. Traces were formulated containing polypropylene fibers and the polymer fibers containing traces together with steel fiber. For all compositions the same concentrations of additive plasticizer and aggregates were used. The coarse aggregate is composed of two grades of expanded clay, the first between 0 and 5 mm (EA-0500) and the second graduation with between 6 and 15 mm (EA-1506). The fine aggregate used was natural sand with fineness modulus of 2.31. The factor water / cement (FAC) was maintained at 0.40. It was observed that the addition plus 0.4% polypropylene fibers and 0.6% steel fiber resulted in significant reductions in the values of total porosity, void ratio and water absorption, indicating a reduction in the permeability of the composite and probable increased durability. In contrast, the dash containing 0.1% of polypropylene fibers and 0.9% of steel fiber showed the highest values of tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. All traits showed resistance above 19.2 MPa and density less than 1000 kg / m?, characterizing them as lightweight structural concrete.
