Este estudo avaliou propriedades de fratura e seus parâmetros de superfície em composições de pasta de cimento de mesma porosidade capilar, variando o teor de filler calcário como substituinte ao cimento comercial. Ainda, para avaliação do efeito em composições de argamassa, foi avaliada a capacidade de redução de água que essa adição pode proporcionar e seu efeito na resistência mecânica. A avaliação dos parâmetros de fratura ocorreu por ensaio de flexão por carregamento em três pontos, com controle por taxa de deslocamento e as análises de superfície por ensaio de interferometria, em seções de fratura e entalhe. O aumento do teor de filler calcário proporcionou redução da demanda de água nas argamassas, para mesmo comportamento. A redução da demanda foi ainda maior para as composições dispersas com aditivo, em relação à referência com aditivo. As resistências à compressão das argamassas apresentaram boa correlação em relação ao ajuste com todas as composições, enquanto foi observado que argamassas de médio teor de filler podem apresentar mesma resistência à flexão que as argamassas de referência, mesmo que estas apresentem menor porosidade capilar. As pastas ensaiadas à flexão por carregamento três pontos não apresentaram comportamento quase-frágil, impedindo o cálculo da energia de fraturamento. Isto ocorreu devido ao método de ensaio adotado, com configuração inadequada, e que pode ser ajustada através da redução da taxa de deslocamento do ensaio, da geometria dos corpos de prova ou da geometria dos entalhes produzidos. Todas as composições apresentaram insensibilidade à profundidade de entalhe sob as condições de ensaio adotadas, possivelmente devido às falhas de configuração do método. As médias de resistência à flexão e do fator de intensidade de tensão crítico foram maiores para a composição de alto teor de filler, seguidos da referência e da composição de médio teor de filler, respectivamente. Em todas as análises e tipos de superfície estudadas, as composições de alto teor de filler apresentaram maior índice de rugosidade e amplitude entre picos e vales, enquanto não foi identificada diferença entre a referência e a composição de médio teor de filler. Estes dois parâmetros e a raiz quadrática da rugosidade indicaram que a rugosidade das superfícies fraturadas é maior que em superfícies cortadas com disco diamantado. / This study assesses fracture properties and their surface parameters in cement paste compositions of the same capillary porosity, varying the filler content of limestone as a substitute for commercial cement. Also, to evaluate the effect in mortar compositions, the water reduction capacity that this addition can provide and its effect on the mechanical resistance was evaluated. The evaluation of the fracture parameters was performed by three-point loading flexion test with displacement rate control and surface analysis by interferometry test in fracture and notch sections. The increase of limestone filler provided a reduction of the water demand in the mortars, in relation to the reference, for spreading of 265mm in table of consistency. The water demand reduction was even greater for compositions dispersed with admixture, relative to the reference with admixture. The compressive strength of the mortars presented a good correlation in the fit with all the compositions, while it was observed that mortars of medium filler content may have the same flexural strength as the reference mortars, even if they have lower capillary porosity. The pastes tested by three-point loading did not exhibit quasi-fragile behavior, preventing the calculation of fracturing energy. This was due to the inadequately configured test method adopted, which can be adjusted by reducing the test displacement rate, the geometry of the specimens or the geometry of the notches produced. All compositions presented insensitivity to the notch depth under the test conditions adopted, possibly due to method configuration failures. The averages of flexural strength and critical stress intensity factor were higher for the high filler composition, followed by the reference and medium filler composition, respectively. In all analyzes and surface types studied, high filler compositions presented higher roughness and amplitude index between peaks and valleys, while no difference between the reference and medium filler composition was identified. These two parameters and the quadratic root roughness indicated that the roughness of the fractured surfaces is greater than on surfaces cut with diamond disc.

The Cariri stone is one of the dimension stones explored in state of Ceara, in Brazil. Thus, this work was developed with the main goal of studying a self-compacting concrete production (SCC) using Cariri stone sawdust waste (CSSW) in partial replacement with the natural fine aggregate. The SCC was designed using the method proposed by Melo (2005) considering two w/c ratios (0.57-0.70), and 10% of CSSW. The study was carried out in three stages: material characterization, mortar phase evaluation and SCC phase evaluation. In the fresh state, SCC was evaluated for fluidity, plastic viscosity, blocking capacity and segregation resistance, using V funnel, J-Ring, L-box and segregation column. In the hardened state, the SCC was evaluated for axial compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and water absorption, void index and specific density. The results showed that CSSW improve SCC cohesiveness and homogeneity, and it is feasible to apply up to 10% of CSSW in SCC production. / No sentido de promover a sustentabilidade do setor da constru??o civil, procura-se alternativas para diminuir o impacto ambiental gerado, atrav?s da descoberta de novos materiais alternativos, como os res?duos da ind?stria de beneficiamento de rochas ornamentais.

Taking into consideration the numerous cities and their industries that have caused a considerable increase in the production of solid waste, including industrial waste in SCC has brought about significant environmental benefits. This study aimed to develop a SCC with inclusion of waste from the manufacturing of kaolin, specifically from what is called birra and borra . The most common producers of SCC used limestone filler. In the production of SCC the mix-design method Tutikian (2007) and Gomes (2002) were used as a base, the Marsh funnel and miniature slump tests for paste composition and the compactability test of materials for the fabrication of granulometric skeletons. In order to evaluate the properties of SCC in fresh state tests, the slump flow test, slump flow test T50cm, V-funnel, V-funnel 5min, L-box, U-box and J-ring were used. The possibility of using waste from the kaolin beneficiation in a SCC was proven, where the borra was used as fine material and birra as a replacement for aggregates. In the hardened state, testing of compressive strength were carried out on the 7th and 28th days, resulting in resistance rate of approximately 20 to 40MPa. / O concreto auto-adensável (CAA), considerado como um dos maiores avanços na tecnologia do concreto, é caracterizado por suas capacidades especiais de preenchimento, habilidade de passagem e resistência à segregação pela ação do seu próprio peso sem que existam outras forças externas. Diante do panorama em que as cidades e suas indústrias têm provocado um considerável aumento na produção dos resíduos sólidos, incluir resíduos industriais ao CAA traz benefícios ambientais significativos. Assim, este trabalho teve por objetivo desenvolver um CAA com inserção de resíduos provenientes da fabricação de caulim, mais especificamente a birra e a borra. No CAA de referência foi utilizado o fíler calcário. Na confecção do CAA foram utilizados como base os métodos de dosagem Tutikian (2007) e Gomes (2002), sendo realizados os testes do Funil de Marsh e mini-cone para composição da pasta e os testes de compacidade dos materiais para confecção dos esqueletos granulométricos. Para avaliar as propriedades do CAA no estado fresco foram executados os testes do espalhamento, espalhamento T50cm, funil-V, funil V 5min, caixa-L, caixa-U e anel-J. Foi constatada a possibilidade de utilizar resíduos provenientes do beneficiamento de caulim em um CAA, a borra como material fino e a birra em substituição de parte dos agregados. No estado endurecido, foram executados testes de resistência à compressão aos 7 e 28 dias, obtendo resistências na faixa aproximada de 20 MPa a 40 MPa.

The cement being used in the construction industry is the result of a chemical process<p>linked to the decarbonation of limestone conducted at high temperature and results in a<p>significant release of CO2. This thesis is part of the project EcoBéton (Green concrete) funded<p>by the French National Research Agency (ANR), with a purpose to show the feasibility of<p>high substitution of cement by mineral additions such as blast furnaces slag, fly ash and<p>limestone fillers. Generally for high percentages of replacements, the early age strength is<p>lower than Portland cement concrete. To cope with this problem, an optimisation method for<p>mix design of concrete using Bolomey’s law has been proposed. Following the encouraging<p>results obtained from mortar, a series of tests on concretes with different substitution<p>percentages were carried out to validate the optimisation method. To meet the requirements of<p>the construction industry related to performance of concrete at early age, which determine<p>their durability, a complete experimental study was carried out. Standard tests for the<p>characterization of the mechanical properties (compressive strength, tensile strength, and<p>setting) allowed to validate the choice of mix design on the basis of equivalent performance.<p>We focused on the hydration process to understand the evolution of the mechanical<p>properties. Setting time measurement by ultrasound device at different temperatures (10°C,<p>20°C and 30°C) showed that ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and fly ash<p>delayed the setting process, while use of limestone filler may accelerate this process.<p>Calorimetric studies over mortars and concretes made possible to calculate the activation<p>energy of the different mixtures and a decrease in heat of hydration of concretes with mineral<p>additions was observed which is beneficial for use in mega projects of concrete. Scanning<p>Electron Microscopy observations and thermal analysis have given enough information about<p>the hydration process. It was observed that the hydration products are similar for different<p>concrete mixtures, but the time of their appearance and quantity in the cement matrix varies<p>for each concrete mix.<p>Last part of the thesis was dedicated to the study of main types of shrinkage. First of all,<p>deformations measured were correlated to hydration, capillary depression and porosity<p>evolution. Results allowed concluding that the use of mineral additions has an actual effect on<p>the plastic shrinkage behaviour, but its impact is not proportional to the percentage of<p>additions. Substitution of cement by the additions seems to have a marked influence on the<p>kinetics of the shrinkage without any effect on its long term amplitude. The study of<p>restrained shrinkage under drying conditions by means of ring tests showed that concretes<p>with high percentage of slag addition seem more prone to cracking than the Portland cement<p>concretes. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Tillverkning av portlandklinker står för ungefär fem procent av världens totala koldioxidutsläpp. Det finns därför ett allmänt intresse att minska användandet av portlandklinker. Klinkern kan antingen ersättas av andra cementerande material, eller så kan nya cementsnåla recept utformas. I den här rapporten har två cement med inmald flygaska respektive slagg från Cementa AB undersökts. För att undersöka klinkerersättnings-materialens potential har tester för tryckhållfasthet, uttorkningskrympning, bindetid, värmeutveckling och arbetbarhet utförts. Resultaten visar att skillnaderna mellan försökscementen och byggcementet är så pass små att båda bör kunna användas som byggcement. Ytterligare har ultrafiller av kalksten använts som ersättare för att minska cementhalten i betongen. Det går lika bra att delvis ersätta försökscementen med ultrafiller som det gör för byggcementet. Med cementsnåla recept och större del ersättningsmaterial finns det stora möjligheter att spara på energi och miljö. Detta borde i framtiden kunna leda till ett bättre och mer miljövänligt byggmaterial. / Manufacture of clinker is responsible for about five percent of the total global carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, there is a general interest in reducing the use of clinker. Clinker can either be replaced by other cementitious materials, or reduced by using lean-cement recipes. This report examines two experimental cements, one with fly ash and one with slag, developed by Cementa AB. To examine the potential of clinker replacement materials, tests for compressive strength, drying shrinkage, initial setting, heat generation and workability, were performed. The results show that the differences between the experimental cements and the reference are so small that both are useable as building cements. In addition, an ultrafine filler of limestone is used as a replacement material for further reduction of the clinker content in concrete. It was also found, that it is just as efficient to partly replace the experimental cements with ultrafine filler as in the reference cement. There are great opportunities to save energy and the environment impact with both clinker-saving cement recipes and with cement replacement materials. This should lead to a better, more environmentally friendly, building material in the future.
