L'objectif de ce travail est de contribuer à la valorisation du métakaolin en substitution du ciment dans les matrices cimentaires en levant certains verrous scientifiques. En effet l'utilisation d'additions minérales modifie les propriétés des bétons, que cela soit à l'état frais, à l'état durcissant ou à l'état durci. A l'état frais, la rhéologie a été étudiée avec l'adaptation et l'application d'une méthode de formulation pour béton auto-plaçant. Cette application a été développée jusqu'à l'échelle industrielle. A l'état durcissant, la phase d'hydratation a été étudiée en s'attardant particulièrement sur l'effet de la nature du ciment substitué sur la réactivité du métakaolin. Enfin à l'état durci deux caractéristiques de durabilité ont été explorées, à savoir l'effet du métakaolin sur la carbonatation dans une première partie, puis sur la diffusion des chlorures dans une deuxième partie. / The objective of the present thesis was to promote the use of metakaolin as substitute for cement in cementitious matrix by unlocking several scientific challenges. The use of mineral additions modifies the properties of concrete in the fresh state, the hardening state and the durability state. In the fresh state, rheology was studied by adapting a formulation method for self-compacting concretes. This application was then further developed to be used at an industrial scale. In the hardening state, the hydration phases were analysed with a focus on the effect of the cement nature on the metakaolin reactivity. Finally in the durability state, two particular features were studied:1) the metakaolin effect on the carbonation kinetic and 2) the effect of the metakaolin on the chloride diffusion.

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.

Nine columns with a 2000 mm height subjected to flexure and bending with initial eccentricity of 60 mm, named as: original column (Po) with a cross section of 120 mm x 250 mm; reference column (Pref) with a cross section of 155 mm x 250 mm and seven columns with a initial cross section of 120 mm x 250 mm, and later reinforced by the addition of 35 mm reinforcing layer, and various configurations of wedge bolts at its most compressed face. Except for the original column (Po), the columns were submitted to a 42.5 mm load eccentricity due to the attached concrete layer at the compressed face. Although failure of the wedge bolts did not accour, it was not possible to prevent detachment of the reinforcing layer. The results indicate that it is possible to structural rehabilitate reinforce concrete columns with the use of the strengthening methodology used in this research, resulting in average load capacity gains of 3,71 times compared to original column load (Po). / O presente trabalho apresenta o estudo experimental de pilares de concreto armado reforçados com parafusos chumbadores e acréscimo de camada com 35 mm de concreto autoadensável na face comprimida. Nove pilares, com alturas de 2000 mm, foram submetidos à flexão composta reta com excentricidade inicial de 60 mm, assim discriminados: um pilar original (Po) com seção transversal de 120 mm x 250 mm; um pilar de referência (Pref) com seção transversal de 155 mm x 250 mm e sete pilares, inicialmente moldados com seção transversal de 120 mm x 250 mm, e após, reforçados através da adição de camada de reforço de 35 mm e diversas configurações de posições de parafusos chumbadores na face comprimida. Exceto o pilar original (Po), os pilares foram submetidos à excentricidade inicial de carga de 42,5 mm, devido ao acréscimo da camada de reforço na face comprimida. Apesar de não ocorrer ruptura dos parafusos chumbadores, não foi possível evitar o desplacamento da camada de reforço. Os resultados obtidos indicam que é possível a reabilitação estrutural de pilares de concreto armado com o uso da metodologia de reforço empregada, obtendo ganho de capacidade de carga média de 3,71 vezes em relação ao pilar original (Po).

Aborda-se, neste trabalho, a tecnologia do concreto auto-adensavel CAA aplicada a producao de pre-fabricados. Destaca-se a contribuicao feita ao Metodo IBRACON, largamente utilizado no pais para a dosagem do concreto comum, a partir de uma nova metodologia de dosagem proposta para o CAA, que considera duas inovacoes principais. A primeira foi o conceito de correcao da coesao do concreto fresco por substituicao de finos pozolanicos ou nao pozolanicos correspondentes, de maior area especifica, de modo que formulacoes mais pobres em cimento exigem maior teor de substituicao quando comparadas com composicoes mais ricas, para manter as mesmas caracteristicas de trabalhabilidade. Com isso, foi possivel acrescentar um 4° quadrante de correlacao dos parametros envolvidos na mistura ao Diagrama de Dosagem do metodo original. A segunda inovacao foi incorporar alguns ensaios de trabalhabilidade especificos. Para tanto, realizou-se uma analise critica dos principais testes disponiveis, apresentando suas vantagens e limitacoes, correlacionando com os parametros reologicos fundamentais, bem como com uma aplicacao pratica, validando-os para a qualificacao do CAA para a producao. Dessa forma, foram estudados tracos com dois niveis de auto-adensabilidade, sem adicoes e com metacaulim ou filer calcario, para resistencias compreendidas entre 50-70MPa, em um amplo programa experimental que totalizou 11 familias de concretos e mais de 55 tracos, no geral. Foram avaliados tambem os cuidados especificos para a producao do CAA, analisando aspectos de produtividade e viabilidade de implantacao, a partir de um estudo voltado a uma empresa especializada. Concluiu-se que o CAA e uma opcao vantajosa para o setor, sobretudo com emprego de adicoes minerais, porem e extremamente necessario haver algumas modificacoes de equipamentos e procedimentos para sua adequacao em fabrica. / This work focus the technology of the self-compacting concrete SCC, applied to the precast production. The main innovation was the contribution made to the IBRACON Method, which is widely utilized in Brazil for conventional concrete design, from the new proposed design methodology for SCC, which considers two main innovations. The first one was the concept of correction of the cohesion of the fresh concrete by substitution of pozzolanics or no pozzolanics corresponding mineral additives, with higher specific area, where the poorest formulations in cement requires higher content of substitution when compared with richer compositions, to maintain the desired characteristics of workability. It enables to add a 4th quadrant to the Dosage Diagram of the original method. The second innovation was to incorporate of some workability tests of the fresh concrete, that become important for the qualification of the self-compacting concrete for a practical application. Thus, it carried out a critical analysis of the main available tests, presenting its advantages and limitations, correlating with the parameters of rheology, and with a practical application, validating them for the qualification of SCC for production. Therefore, it was studied mixes of SCC with two levels of self-compactability, without additives and with metacaolin or limestone filler, for mechanical resistances between 50- 70MPa, in a wide experimental program with 11 families of concretes and more of 55 mixes. It was also evaluated the specific cares for the production of SCC, analyzing aspects of productivity and feasability of implementation, based in a case study. It was concluded that SCC is a worthwhile option for the sector, especially using mineral additives, however it is extremely necessary some equipment and procedure modifications in order to adapt the factories to this new technology.

The primary aim of this research was to develop a method for determining the true uniaxial tensile strength of concrete by conducting a series of cylinder splitting, modulus of rupture (MOR) and cylinder/cube compression tests. The main objectives were: • Critically reviewing previous published research in order to identify gaps in current knowledge and understanding, including theoretical and methodological contributions to the true uniaxial tensile strength of concrete. In order to maintain consistency and increase the reliability of the proposed methods, it is essential to review the literature to provide additional data points in order to add additional depth, breathe and rigor to Senussi's investigation (2004). • The design of self compacting concrete (SCC), normal strength concrete (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC) mixes and undertaking lab-based experimental works for mixing, casting, curing and testing of specimens in order to establish new empirical evidence and data. • Analysing the data, presenting the results, and investigating the application of validity methods as stated by Lin and Raoof (1999) and Senussi (2004). • To draw conclusions including comparison with previous research and literature, including the proposal of new correction factors and recommendations for future research. 29 batches of NSC, 137 batches of HSC, 44 batches of fly ash SCC and 47 batches of GGBS SCC were cast and their hardened and fresh properties were measured. Hardened properties measured included: cylinder splitting strength, MOR, cylinder compressive strength and cube compressive strength. A variety of rheological tests were also applied to characterise the fresh properties of the SCC mixes, including: slump flow, T50, L-box, V-funnel, J-ring and sieve stability. Cylinders were also visually checked after splitting for segregation. The tensile strength of concrete has traditionally been expressed in terms of its compressive strength (e.g. ft = c x c f ). Based on this premise, extensive laboratory testing was conducted to evaluate the tensile strength of the concretes, including the direct tension test and the indirect cylinder splitting and MOR tests. These tests however, do not provide sufficiently accurate results for the true uniaxial tensile strength, due to the results being based upon different test methods. This shortcoming has been overcome by recently developed methods reported by Lin and Raoof (1999) and Senussi (2004) who proposed simple correction factors for the application to the cylinder splitting and MOR test results, with the final outcome providing practically reasonable estimates of the true uniaxial tensile strength of concrete, covering a wide range of concrete compressive strengths 12.57 ≤ fc ≤ 93.82 MPa, as well as a wide range of aggregate types. The current investigation has covered a wide range of ages at testing, from 3 to 91 days. Test data from other sources has also been applied for ages up to 365 days, with the test results reported relating to a variety of mix designs. NSC, SCC and HSC data from the current investigation has shown an encouraging correlation with the previously reported results, hence providing additional wider and deeper empirical evidence for the validity of the recommended correction factors. The results have also demonstrated that the type (size, texture and strength) of aggregate has a negligible effect on the recommended correction factors. The concrete age at testing was demonstrated to have a potentially significant effect on the recommended correction factors. Altering the cement type can also have a significant effect on the hardened properties measured and demonstrated practically noticeable variations on the recommended correction factors. The correction factors proved to be valid regarding the effects of incorporating various blended cements in the HSC and SCC. The NSC, HSC and SCC showed an encouraging correlation with previously reported results, providing additional support, depth, breadth and rigor for the validity of the correction factors recommended.

Porém o peso próprio do concreto convencional é considerado a sua maior desvantagem. Com isso abre-se campo para um material que apesar de ser conhecido pelos romanos, era pouco utilizado, o concreto com agregados leves. Muitas pesquisas surgem e em aproximadamente duas décadas aparece o concreto autoadensável e mais recentemente o concreto leve autoadensável. Este trabalho propõe o estudo deste material ainda pouco explorado o concreto leve autoadensável. Para isso são produzidos concretos com argila expandida em duas granulometrias diferentes: uma graúda em substituição total ao agregado graúdo de massa normal e uma miúda em substituição parcial ao agregado miúdo. São elaboradas três famílias de traços de concreto com consumos diferentes de cimento, 320, 360 e 440 kg/m³ de concreto, e realizados ensaios no estado fresco (anel J, funil V e caixa L) e endurecido (resistências à compressão e à tração, determinação do módulo de elasticidade, absorção e densidade). Os concretos leves foram classificados como auto adensáveis e apresentaram bons resultados quanto ao fator de eficiência e resistência sendo possível estabelecer equações de correlação para seu módulo de elasticidade. Para os ensaios de densidade observaram-se concretos leves com massas mínimas de até 1550 kg/m³ e resistências à compressão superiores aos valores estipulados pela norma NBR NM 35 para as densidades apresentadas em todas as misturas / Abstract: With the discovery of admixtures and mineral additions many different types of concrete emerged over the last decades. But the own weight of conventional concrete is considered their biggest disadvantage. With this opens up the field for a material that despite being known to the Romans, it was little used, the concrete with lightweight aggregates. Much research and come in about two decades appears the self compacting concrete and more recently the lightweight concrete self compacting. This work proposes the study of this material still little explored concrete lightweight self compacting. For this are produced concrete with expanded clay in two different particle sizes: one coarse in total replacement of coarse aggregate of normal mass and a fine partially substituting fine aggregate. Are designed three families of concrete mixtures with different cement consumption, 320, 360 and 440 kg / m³ of concrete, and the tests carried out in the fresh state (ring J, V funnel and L box) and hardened (resistance to compression and traction , determining the modulus of elasticity, absorption, and density). The concretes were classified as self compacting and showed good results as to efficiency and resistance factor being possible to establish a correlation equations for its modulus of elasticity. For the density tests were observed concretes with minimum masses of up to 1550 kg / m³ and compressive strengths greater than those stipulated by NBR NM 35 standard for the densities presented in all mixtures / Mestrado / Tecnologia e Inovação / Mestre em Tecnologia

The present research is conducted to investigate the structural behaviour of continuously supported deep beams made with SCC. A series of tests on eight reinforced two-span continuous deep beams made with SCC was performed. The main parameters investigated were the shear span-to-depth ratio, the amount and configuration of web reinforcement and the main longitudinal reinforcement ratio. All beams failed due to a major diagonal crack formed between the applied mid-span load and the intermediate support separating the beam into two blocks: the first one rotated around the end support leaving the rest of the beam fixed on the other two supports. The amount and configuration of web reinforcement had a major effect in controlling the shear capacity of SCC continuous deep beams. The shear provisions of the ACI 318M-11 reasonably predicted the load capacity of SCC continuous deep beams. The strut-and-tie model recommended by different design codes showed conservative results for all SCC continuous deep beams. The ACI Building Code (ACI 318M-11) predictions were more accurate than those of the EC2 and Canadian Code (CSA23.3-04). The proposed effectiveness factor equations for the strut-and-tie model showed accurate predictions compared to the experimental results. The different equations of the effectiveness factor used in upper-bound analysis can reasonably be applied to the prediction of the load capacity of continuously supported SCC deep beams although they were proposed for normal concrete (NC). The proposed three dimensional FE model accurately predicted the failure modes, the load capacity and the load-deflection response of the beams tested. / Higher Education Institute in the Libyan Government

A criação de programas federais voltados para o desenvolvimento da infraestrutura brasileira no final da década passada resultou no aquecimento do setor de construção civil. Nesse contexto, o sistema de paredes de concreto moldadas no local se destacou devido à sua alta produtividade e repetitividade. Os requisitos e procedimentos para o dimensionamento de paredes de concreto moldadas no local são contemplados na NBR 16055:2012. Dentre as abordagens consideradas nessa norma, ressalta-se a recomendação do uso de concreto autoadensável. No entanto, alguns pontos de interesse não são contemplados na regulamentação vigente como, por exemplo, a incorporação de ar na composição do concreto, bem como os limites de teores de ar incorporado. Assim, a presente pesquisa busca avaliar a influência da incorporação de ar no comportamento de concretos autoadensáveis destinados à execução de paredes de concreto moldadas no local. Para isso, foram produzidos dois traços de concreto autoadensável de classes de resistência C25 e C40 e, a partir de cada um deles, produzidos outros dois traços modificados com aditivo incorporador de ar, variando o teor de ar incorporado, em um total de seis misturas cujas propriedades foram avaliadas tanto no estado fresco quanto no estado endurecido. Além disso, foram moldadas paredes de concreto a fim de analisar a estrutura interna do material com aparelho de ultrassom e o acabamento superficial do elemento por meio de análise de imagens. No caso da classe C25, os resultados demonstram que a influência do teor de ar para os traços modificados foi tão significativa que os concretos produzidos se tornaram inadequados para uso estrutural. Por outro lado, apesar da elevada perda de resistência à compressão aos 28 dias, os dois traços produzidos com incorporação de ar no concreto de classe C40 se adequam às recomendações da NBR 16055:2012. Alia-se a isso o fato de que, quando da execução das paredes em laboratório, os concretos utilizados demonstraram grande capacidade de preenchimento, resultando em elementos com bom acabamento superficial e estrutura interna homogênea, mesmo em regiões de difícil acesso. Sendo assim, o presente trabalho propõe traços muito promissores para utilização em paredes de concreto moldadas no local. / The creation of federal programs aimed at the development of Brazilian infrastructure at the end of the last decade resulted in the heating of civil construction sector. In this context, the system of concrete walls cast in place stood out due to its high productivity and repetitiveness. The requirements and procedures for the design of concrete walls cast in place are contemplated in the NBR 16055:2012. Among the several approaches considered in this code, the recommendation for the use of self-compacting concrete is emphasized. However, some points of interest are not considered in the current regulations, such as the incorporation of air in the concrete composition, as well as the limits for entrained air contents. Thus, the present research seeks to evaluate the influence of air entrainment in the behaviour of self-compacting concrete for the construction of concrete walls cast in place. For this, two self-compacting concrete mixes design of strength classes C25 and C40 were produced and, from each of them, two other mixes modified with air entraining admixture were produced, varying the entrained air content, in a total of six mixtures whose properties were evaluated in both fresh and hardened state. In addition, concrete walls were cast to analyse the internal structure with ultrasonic equipment and the element surface finish by image analysis. In the case of class C25, the results demonstrate that the influence of the air content for the modified mixes was so great that the concretes produced became inappropriate for structural use. On the other hand, despite the high loss of compressive strength at 28 days, the two mixes produced with entrained air in the concrete of class C40 respect the recommendations of the NBR 16055:2012. In addition, when the walls were cast in laboratory, the concretes used showed great filling capacity, resulting in structures with good surface finish and homogeneous internal structure, even in difficult access regions. Therefore, the present work proposes very promising mixes for use in concrete walls cast in place.

A busca por novos materiais estruturais visa a melhoria da qualidade e desempenho das estruturas, impulsionando o desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico. O concreto auto-adensável surgiu da necessidade de se dispensar o difícil e oneroso trabalho de vibração do concreto, sendo definido como um material capaz de fluir dentro de uma fôrma, passando pelas armaduras e preenchendo a mesma, sem o uso de equipamentos de vibração. Esta pesquisa caracteriza-se como um estudo teórico-experimental da aderência aço-concreto, utilizando concreto do tipo auto-adensável, mediante ensaios monotônicos de flexão em vigas e de arrancamento seguindo o modelo padrão do Rilem-Ceb-Fip (1973). O estudo considerou como parâmetros fundamentais o tipo de concreto (auto-adensável e convencional), a resistência à compressão do concreto e os diâmetros das barras. Ainda, realizou-se um estudo com relação à variabilidade do concreto auto-adensável nos estados fresco e endurecido, constatando que este possui pequena variação. De posse dos resultados, buscou-se verificar a previsão das formulações empregadas na literatura e pelos principais códigos internacionais. De acordo com os resultados, o comportamento dos modelos de viga e de arrancamento para ambos os concretos foi similar, mostrando que o concreto auto-adensável possui características semelhantes ao concreto convencional, com as vantagens da trabalhabilidade no estado fresco. Quanto à análise numérica, os modelos desenvolvidos representaram de forma satisfatória o comportamento dos ensaios, e forneceram uma idéia do comportamento da tensão de aderência na sua interface. Com relação às formulações teóricas, verificou-se que tanto para o concreto convencional quanto para o auto-adensável, ocorre uma superestimativa da resistência de aderência. / The search for new structural materials aims the improvement of the structures performance, pushing the scientific and technological development. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) origin was due to the need to avoid the difficult and expensive process of concrete vibration. It has been defined as a material capable to flow inside a formwork, passing through the reinforcement and filling it completely, without using of any special equipment. This research is characterized as a theoretical and experimental study of steel-concrete bond, using SCC, through pull-out tests and beam tests standardized by Rilem-Ceb-Fip model. The study considered as main parameters the concrete type (ordinary concrete and SCC), its compressive strength and the steel bars diameters. Yet, a study of the variability of the properties of SCC, both in fresh and hardened state was also performed, showing that SCC is a very reliable material. The obtained results were compared with the ones established by the related bibliography and by the main international codes. According to the results, the behavior of the beams and pull-out tests were very similar for both concretes (SCC and OC), with the well know advantages for the SCC in fresh state. About the numerical approach, the developed models represented satisfactory the test behavior (beam and pull-out) and gave an idea of the bond stress behavior on the steel-concrete interface. About the theoretical formulations, it was verified the they usually overestimate the bond strength, for both types of concrete.
