Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / During the history of the Civil Engineering, it is witnessed the appearance of a new age, which emphasizes quality in general, and durability, in particular, of the concrete structures. As a result of a continuable search for quality, an evolution in a relatively new field is observed, named Structural Pathology, which relates to the study of structural imperfections in constructions. An efficient solution for this problem is the structural repair, that appears as a strong market share of the industry of the civil construction, motivating the development of a number of materials and procedures of repair that aim to reestablish the original conditions of the damaged structure in order to extend its service life. For the protection and the restoration of the concrete structures, there were developed repair materials destined to different situations of application. The Microscopy, historically applied to the biomedical sciences, field has been spreaded out to the science of the materials field as well, becoming an important tool in the study of diverse properties. The main objective of this research is to investigate the form of linking and bond between repair mortars and concrete, by using microscopy. In this research 247 micrographs were analysed from 24 samples of four types of repair mostars amongst the ones found in the market had been analyzed. The typical morphologic characteristics of those materials were studied through of the optic microscope (OM) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results presented in research provides the understanding of the microscopical analisis related to the bond of someone repair materials. / Ao longo da história da Engenharia Civil, testemunha-se o surgimento de uma nova era, na qual se enfatiza a qualidade em geral e, particularmente, a durabilidade das estruturas de concreto. Como resultado de uma incessante busca pela qualidade, observa-se uma evolução em um campo relativamente novo, designado por Patologia Estrutural, que se relaciona ao estudo de falhas estruturais em obras civis. Uma solução eficaz para este problema é a recuperação estrutural, que surge como um forte segmento de mercado da indústria da construção civil, motivando o desenvolvimento de uma série de materiais e procedimentos de recuperação que visam a restabelecer as condições originais da estrutura danificada e ampliar a sua vida útil. Para a proteção e recuperação das estruturas de concreto, foram desenvolvidos materiais específicos destinados a diferentes situações de aplicação. A microscopia, historicamente aplicada no seguimento das ciências biomédicas, tem sido difundida também para a ciência dos materiais, tornando-se uma ferramenta importante no estudo de diversas propriedades. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é investigar a forma de ligação e aderência entre o concreto e o material de reparo, mediante microscopia. Nesta pesquisa, foram analisadas 247 micrografias em 24 amostras de quatro tipos de argamassas de reparo dentre os encontrados no mercado. As características morfológicas típicas destes materiais foram estudadas com o auxílio do microscópio óptico (MO) e do microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV). Os resultados apresentados neste trabalho auxiliam a compreensão da análise microscópica relacionada à aderência de um determinado material de reparo ultilizado. / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

This master’s thesis deals with problems of inventory management in the International Repair Centre for Symbol Technologies Czech Republic s.r.o.. Actual inventory management is described with a focus on materials planning, storage and evidence of inventory movements using information database systems. A part of the thesis is also an analysis of inventory categories from several different aspects. The purpose of the master’s thesis is to submit suitable suggestions of how to improve existing inventory management processes.

This dissertation deals with the study of durability and degradation repair mortars for reinforced concrete structures. In its theoretical part, there are the research findings on the behavior of repair mortars exposed to corrosive environments with different exposure time and selected high temperatures. Processes occurring in repair mortars during their loading at high temperatures or when exposed to chemically aggressive environments are described, We can find recipes designed for cementitious binder based with a specific replacement using slag or fly ash in its practical part. The object of the research was to determine the durability of the proposed repair mortars, and determine their suitability for use on concrete structures, which may be exposed to a synergistic effect of chemically aggressive environments with high temperatures simulating fire.
