[pt] O presente trabalho apresenta um estudo do comportamento mecânico e de interface de compósitos cimentícios reforçados com tecido unidirecional de fibra de curauá. Os compósitos foram produzidos com matrizes constituídas de adições minerais pozolânicas distintas: sílica da casca de arroz, cinza do bagaço de cana e metacaulim. Realizou-se o tratamento superficial da fibra com impregnação de dois materiais abrasivos em adesivo époxi: óxido de alumínio e areia. As propriedades reológicas e mecânicas das matrizes, foram obtidas através de ensaios de consistência Flow table e resistência à compressão, respectivamente. Para a análise da reatividade das adições, realizaram-se ensaios de índice de atividade pozolânica, balizados em princípios químicos e mecânicos. A avaliação do desempenho mecânico e micro-estrutural dos compósitos foi feita por meio de ensaios de tração direta e flexão a quatro pontos. A morfologia e comportamento mecânico da fibra, mecanismos de interação fibra-matriz e características da zona de transição interfacial (ITZ) foram verificados mediante imagens de microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV), ensaios de pull-out e de tração direta do filamento e do tecido. Os resultados indicaram que é possível a produção de compósitos de alto desempenho com reforço de fibra natural. Em específico, o metacaulim viabilizou compósitos com as melhores performances mecânicas e características de interface, sendo a matriz selecionada para o reforço com as fibras tratadas. O tratamento da superfície mostrou-se eficaz no aumento da rigidez da fibra e, por consequência, do tecido. Além de melhorar a aderência fibra-matriz e torná-la hidrofóbica. No entanto, a alta aderência atingida conferiu aos compósitos a redução da ductilidade e tenacidade, juntamente com a melhoria da resistência à flexão. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se apresentar alternativas de tecnologias renováveis, de baixo custo e impacto ambiental, fatores chaves no desenvolvimento de materiais de construção civil, através do aprofundamento do estudo do reforço de fibra de curauá, e do desempenho de diferentes resíduos agroindustriais empregados na matriz, juntamente com os respectivos tratamentos superficiais na fibra. / [en] The present work presents a study on the mechanical and interfacial behavior of cementitious composites reinforced with unidirectional curauá fabric. The composites were produced with matrices made of distinct pozzolanic mineral additions: rice husk silica, sugarcane bagasse ash and metakaolin. The surface treatment of the fiber was carried out with impregnation of two abrasive materials in epoxy adhesive: aluminum oxide and sand. The rheological and mechanical properties of the matrices were obtained through tests of consistency, flow table, and compressive strength, respectively. For the reactivity’s analysis of the additions, pozzolanic activity index tests were performed, based on chemical and mechanical principles. The evaluation of the mechanical and microstructural performance of the composites was done by means of direct tensile tests and four-point bending. The morphology and mechanical behavior of the fiber, fiber-matrix interaction and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) characteristics were verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, pull-out and direct tensile tests of the filament and fabric. The results indicated that it is possible to produce high performance composites with natural fiber reinforcement. Specifically, the use of metakaolin resulted in composites with the best mechanical performances and interface characteristics, and the matrix was selected for the reinforcement with the treated fibers. The surface treatment proved to be effective in increasing fiber stiffness and, consequently, the fabric, in addition to improving fiber-matrix bond, rendered it a hydrophobic behavior. However, the high bond achieved gave the composites the reduction of ductility and toughness, along with the improvement of flexural strength. The objective of this study was to present alternatives to renewable technologies, low cost and environmental impact, key factors in the development of civil construction materials, through the deepening of the study of fiber reinforcement of curauá, and the performance of different agroindustrial residues used in together with the respective surface treatments on the fiber.

High performance concrete (HPC) provides a long lasting, durable concrete that is typically used in bridge decks due to its low permeability, high abrasion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance and strength. However, this type of concrete is highly susceptible to the deleterious effects of both autogenous and drying shrinkage. Both types of shrinkage occur when water leaves small pores , (< 50 nm) in the paste matrix to aid in hydration or is lost to the surrounding environment. Autogenous deformation (self-desiccation) occurs as the internal relative humidity decreases due to hydration of the cementitious material. Drying (and subsequent shrinkage) occurs when water is lost to the environment and continues until the internal relative humidity is equivalent to the ambient relative humidity. Typically, the magnitude of autogenous shrinkage is less than that of drying shrinkage. These two types of shrinkage do not act independently, and the total shrinkage is the aggregation of the two shrinkage mechanisms. It is imperative to minimize the amount of shrinkage in restrained members, such as bridge decks, to reduce the cracking potential. Various methods have been researched to minimize both types of shrinkage. Two methods to that have been reported to reduce shrinkage were selected for further research; internal curing using pre-soaked lightweight fine aggregate (LWFA) and shrinkage reducing admixtures (SRAs). The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term drying shrinkage performance of these two methods while reducing the external curing duration of 14 days for new bridge deck construction as specified by the Oregon Department of Transportation. In addition to monitoring drying shrinkage, durability testing was performed on concrete specimens to ensure these shrinkage mitigation methods performed at levels similar to concrete with the current mixture design. Freeze-thaw testing, permeability testing and restrained drying shrinkage testing were conducted. It was concluded that the combination of SRAs and pre-soaked LWFA was the most effective method to reduce longterm drying shrinkage for all curing durations (1, 7, and 14 day). Additionally, for durability testing, it was found that the use of SRAs performed the best in freeze-thaw testing, chloride permeability and restrained shrinkage. / Graduation date: 2012

Atualmente, o aproveitamento de resíduos na construção civil tem sido estimulado devido essa atividade ser um dos maiores consumidores de materiais naturais em seus processos e produtos. As cinzas agroindustriais ocupam lugar de destaque dentre os resíduos com possibilidades de aplicação em materiais cimentícios, pois algumas, como a cinza da casca do arroz, apresentam propriedades pozolânicas, contribuindo para a redução do consumo de cimento Portland. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo principal a avaliação da viabilidade técnica do uso de cinza agroindustriais em matrizes de cimento Portland, tendo como estudo de caso a cinza da casca da castanha de caju (CCCC). As cascas das castanhas de caju, resíduos da produção das castanhas, são incorporadas novamente ao processo, e, nas caldeiras, irão gerar calor para a decorticação de novas castanhas. A CCCC é o resíduo colhido no fundo da grelha das caldeiras, resultante da queima das cascas de castanhas. Atualmente, esse resíduo é utilizado como adubo em plantações de caju, sendo uma pequena parte destinada à aterros sanitários comuns. Foram realizados ensaios para avaliar a composição físico-química da CCCC; analisar o potencial pozolânico; analisar a retração por secagem e da profundidade de carbonatação de argamassas confeccionados com CCCC; e determinar a capacidade de estabilização/solidificação da CCCC pela matriz cimentícia. A partir dos resultados, pode-se apontar como características principais da CCCC: i) não apresentar potencial pozolânico; ii) favorecer a incorporação de ar em matrizes cimentícias; iii) ocasionar solubilidade de metais pesados e Fenol quando no estado in natura; iv) contribuir para o aumento da retração por secagem e da carbonatação em argamassas; v) liberar Cromo e Sódio mesmo quando estabilizada/solidificada em pastas em teores de até 10% de substituição. Por essas considerações, a CCCC não apresentou viabilidade técnica para uso em matrizes cimentícias. / Nowadays, the use of wastes on civil building has been stimulated for it to be one of most consumers of raw materials in their processes and products. The agroindustrial ashes have a prominent place among the wastes with possibilities of application in cementitious materials, because some ashes, such rice husk ash, have pozzolanic activity, and they contribute to reduce the Portland cement consumption. This work aimed to study the evaluation of technical feasibility of the agroindustrial ashes for use in Portland cement matrices, using the ash of the rind of the cashew nut (ARCN) as case study. The rinds of cashew nut (wastes of nuts\' production) are burned again during the heating process, and in boilers, they will generate heat for shelling other nuts. The ARCN is the waste collected from the boiler grid, resulted from burning of the rind of nuts. This waste is used as compostes in plantings of cashew and a little part of it is dumped in landfill sites. Tests were made for evaluation of physico-chemical composition of ARCN; for analyse of pozzolanic activity; for analyse of drying shrinkage and carbonation in mortars made with ARCN; and the analyse of the stabilization/solidification of ARCN in pastes. After the analyse of results, it may be pointed as main features of ARCN: i) not show pozzolanic activity; ii) to promote air entrainment in cementitious matrices; iii) to cause heavy metals and Phenol solubilization as in raw state; iv) to increase the drying shrinkage and carbonation in mortars; and, v) to let out Chrome and Sodium when stabilizated/solidificated in pastes in levels of replacement until 10%. For all these considerations, the ARCN haven\'t showed technical feasibility for use in cementitious matrices.

High bottom hole temperatures are responsible not only for the development of deleterious stresses of the cement sheath but also for cement strength retrogression. To overcome this unfavorable scenario, polymeric admixtures can be added to cement slurries to improve its fracture energy and silica flour to prevent strength retrogression. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of the addition of different concentrations of polyurethane (5-25%) to cement slurries containing 40% BWOC silica flour. The resulting slurries were characterized using standard API (American Petroleum Institute) laboratory tests. In addition to them, the mechanical properties of the slurries, including elastic modulus and microhardness were also evaluated. The results revealed that density, free water and stability of the composite cement/silica/polyurethane slurries were within acceptable limits. The rheological behavior of the slurries, including plastic viscosity, yield strength and gel strength increased with the addition of 10% BWOC polyurethane. The presence of polyurethane reduced the fluid loss of the slurries as well as their elastic modulus. Composite slurries also depicted longer setting times due to the presence of the polymer. As expected, both the mechanical strength and microhardness of the slurries decreased with the addition of polyurethane. However, at high bottom hole temperatures, the strength of the slurries containing silica and polyurethane was far superior than that of plain cement slurries. In summary, the use of polyurethane combined with silica is an interesting solution to better adequate the mechanical behavior of cement slurries to heavy oil fields subjected to steam injection / Em campos que possuem ?leos pesados ? necess?rio um meio para estimular o ?leo a fluir pela forma??o, tais reservas s?o caracter?sticas da Regi?o Nordeste do Brasil e necessitam da inje??o de vapor para sua recupera??o.

La fabrication additive (Impression 3D) consiste à fabriquer des objets couche par couche en utilisant un modèle 3D, un matériau approprié et une machine dédiée. Pour la construction, c’est un nouveau mode constructif qui se profile. Depuis 2010, la fabrication additive a fait un saut technique et médiatique dans ce secteur. Les projets d’impression 3D se sont multipliés et diversifiés avec les premières maisons construites entièrement au moyen de cette technologie (Winsun, D-Shape, Contour Crafting, Apis Cor…etc). Ce travail s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une thèse CIFRE démarrée en 2015 entre le laboratoire de génie civil de l’Ecole Centrale de Lille et l’entreprise Bouygues Construction. L’objectif de ce travail est d’étudier le potentiel de la fabrication additive pour la construction et plus précisément de proposer une formulation à matrice cimentaire qui sera mise en œuvre par impression 3D.La thèse est organisée en trois grandes parties.La première partie est consacrée à la définition de l’impression 3D et des matériaux cimentaires pour définir leurs interactions. La deuxième partie est dédiée à la formulation d’un matériau cimentaire imprimable. L’imprimabilité a été définie par trois indicateurs : l’extrudabilité, la buildabilté et l’adhérence. La troisième partie est destinée à la validation de la formulation proposée. Ce travail peut être considéré comme une première approche pour définir un protocole d’évaluation de l’imprimabilité des matériaux cimentaires à l’échelle du laboratoire ainsi qu’une première étape pour la conception d’une imprimante 3D destinée et adaptée à la construction. / Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) consists in building an object layer by layer following a 3D model. For this purpose an appropriate material, machine and model are needed. From Construction industry point of view, 3D printing is considered as a new building method. Since 2010, the use of 3D printing for construction has known a large evolution. More and more real construction projects are using this new technology. Some of these examples are Winsun in China, D-Shape in Italy, Contour Crafting in California or Apis Cor in Russia…etc.The work presented in this manuscript was conducted through an industrial PhD thesis (CIFRE) which was launched between “Ecole Centrale de Lille” and “Bouygues Construction” in 2015. The objective of this work was to study the potential of large scale 3D printing integration in the construction process and more precisely the development of a printable cement based mix design.The work is organized in three main parts.The first part was dedicated to 3D printing and cement based material as general concepts. Then their interactions were analyzed. The second part was devoted to the printable mix design. The printability was defined using three indicators: Extrudability, Buildability and layers adhesion. The third part was dedicated to check the printability of the proposed mix design. This work may be considered as a first approach to define a laboratory scale methodology for cement based materials printability testing. It is also a step to contribute to the development of construction 3D printers.

Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais / In this work, methylcellulose (MC) was produced from sugarcane bagasse cellulose by heterogeneous route in alkaline medium, according to two methodologies: i) reaction with DMS, successive exchange of reagents and a step of mercerization and ii) reaction with iodomethane in two steps of mercerization. The synthesized methylcelluloses and a commercial methylcellulose sample, used as standard, have been evaluated as admixtures for adhesive mortars in civil construction by 2 methods, being added as a suspension in water (method 1) and in the powder form, dispersed in the mortar during its preparation (method 2). One of the main points of innovation of this study was to apply the polymers as a powder during mortar preparation, so that it approaches the commercial adhesive mortars, which consist of mixtures pre-dosed powder. In this study, methylcellulose produced using DMS (MCD), iodomethane (MCI) and commercial methylcellulose (MCC) were characterized according to their degree of substitution (DS) by chemical route, by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and viscosity measurements. The modifications observed in the FTIR spectra showed the efficiency of methylation processes using DMS and iodomethane. The samples showed differences in water solubility, MCI was more soluble, and related to the crystallinity, the MCD presented more crystalline pattern and MCI more amorphous. The MCD was more thermally stable. The adhesion of mortars prepared by method 1 was close to the values obtained for reference mortar, particularly only to the MCD sample that increased by about 28% compared to reference. For the mortars produced by method 2, the direct addition of polymers effectively changed the properties of mortars, especially in relation to the adhesion, that increased by approximately 23% to mortar containing MCI, about 70% for MCD and 20% for MCC. It is observed that MCD samples perform best in all tests, this may be related to the higher DS for this sample, which favors the gel formation and the water retention, making the mortar more viscous and \"sticky\", altering the interactions between mortar and substrate and increasing the adhesion. / Neste trabalho, a metilcelulose (MC) foi produzida a partir da celulose extraída do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar pela rota heterogênea em meio alcalino. Foram empregadas duas metodologias de síntese: i) reação com sulfato de dimetila (DMS), troca sucessiva de reagentes e uma etapa de mercerização e ii) reação com iodometano e duas etapas de mercerização. As amostras de MC produzidas e uma amostra de MC comercial, utilizada como padrão, foram avaliadas como aditivos para argamassas colantes na construção civil por 2 métodos, sendo adicionadas às argamassas como uma suspensão em água (método 1) e na forma de pó, disperso diretamente na argamassa durante sua preparação (método 2). Um dos principais pontos de inovação deste trabalho foi a aplicação dos polímeros na forma de pó durante a preparação das argamassas, forma essa que se aproxima das argamassas colantes comerciais que consistem em misturas pré-dosadas em pó. Neste estudo, as amostras de metilcelulose produzidas usando DMS (MCD), iodometano (MCI) e a amostra de metilcelulose comercial (MCC) foram caracterizadas quanto ao seu Grau de Substituição (GS) por via química, pelas técnicas de Espectroscopia de Infravermelho com Transformada de Fourier (FTIR), Difratometria de Raios-X (DRX), Calorimetria Exploratória Diferencial (DSC), Análise Termogravimétrica (TGA), Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV) e por medidas de viscosidade. As modificações observadas nos espectros de FTIR mostraram a eficiência dos processos de metilação usando DMS e iodometano. As amostras apresentaram diferenças quanto à solubilidade em água, sendo a amostra MCI mais solúvel, e quanto à cristalinidade, a MCD apresentou um padrão mais cristalino e a MCI mais amorfo. A amostra MCD apresentou a maior estabilidade térmica. A adesão das argamassas preparadas pelo método 1, foi próxima dos valores da argamassa de referência, com destaque apenas para a MCD que apresentou aumento de cerca de 28%. Para as argamassas produzidas pelo método 2, a adição direta dos polímeros modificou efetivamente as propriedades das argamassas, principalmente em relação à aderência, que aumentou cerca de 23% para a argamassa com MCI, 70% para MCD e 20% para MCC. A amostra MCD apresentou o melhor desempenho em todos os ensaios, fato que pode estar relacionado ao seu maior GS, que favorece a formação de gel e a retenção de água pela argamassa, tornando-a mais viscosa e pegajosa , alterando as interações da argamassa com o substrato e consequentemente, aumentando a aderência. / Doutor em Química

The objective of this paper is to present the results of the connection between a substrate and self-compacting concrete with underwater launch simulating the repairs to concrete structures submerged in various applications. Therefore, we used samples of "old" concrete structures extracted from the Power Plant Itumbiara the state of Goiás, which was considered substrates. The concrete used in this work follows the parameters established strengths in the research completed in 2003 by the laboratory of Furnas Centrais Elétricas and has been adjusted to the materials (gravel and sand) found in the city of the Minas Gerais. The results are from the sample concrete of vertical and horizontal joints of the bodyspecimens prismatic concrete substrates and kept submerged and extracted after a year, so almost complete hydration. The analysis relating to the launch of concrete indicate that it is entirely feasible production for small applications. Visibility during the concreting was hampered by increased turbidity of the water produced by the concrete, so you must reduce the presence of a direct flow of water in concrete. The analysis was by comparing the results of the testimonies and bodies-of-proof. We observed an increase in strength in direct relation to the diameter of the testimony. In the samples concrete of 50 mm x 100 mm was obtained a coefficient of variation of 9.00% giving the concrete a low variability. The testimonies of concrete compounds and submerged concrete substrate (with seal inclined) had a resistance value 84% over the bodies-of-proof. The tensile strength by diametrical compression of the testimony amounted to 54% of the reference value. Can also check the interface between substrate concrete and after the break. / O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar os resultados do estudo da ligação entre um substrato e o concreto auto-adensável com lançamento subaquático simulando a realização de reparos em estruturas de concreto submersas em diversas aplicações. Para tanto foram utilizadas amostras de concreto antigo provenientes de estruturas extraídas da Usina Hidrelétrica de Itumbiara no estado de Goiás, que foram considerados substratos, o concreto utilizado no presente trabalho segue os parâmetros de dosagens estabelecidos na pesquisa concluída em 2003 pelo laboratório de Furnas Centrais Elétricas e foi ajustado aos materiais (brita e areia) encontrados na região de Uberlândia do Estado de Minas Gerais. Os resultados obtidos são provenientes de testemunhos das juntas verticais e horizontais dos corpos-de-prova prismáticos concretados com substratos e mantidos submersos e extraídos após um ano, portanto, a hidratação quase completa. As análises relativas ao processo de lançamento do concreto indicam que é totalmente viável sua produção para pequenas aplicações. A visibilidade durante a concretagem foi dificultada pelo aumento de turbidez da água produzida pelo concreto, portanto deve-se diminuir a presença de um fluxo de água direto no concreto. As análises foram por comparação entre os resultados dos testemunhos e dos corpos-de-prova. Foi observado um aumento da resistência em relação direta ao diâmetro do testemunho. Nos testemunhos de 50 mm x 100 mm obteve-se um coeficiente de variação de 9% dando ao concreto uma variabilidade baixa. Os testemunhos compostos de concreto submerso e substrato de concreto (com junta inclinada) obtiveram uma resistência com valor 84% em relação os corpos-de-prova. A resistência à tração por compressão diametral dos testemunhos correspondeu a 54% do valor de referência. Também pode ser verificada a interface entre substrato e concreto após a ruptura. / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

However, their factories are located far from the city of Porto Velho, in the industrial nuclei of Brazil, most of them in São Paulo, which rises the final price of the product. This research aimed to develop a dry-set mortar using sands extracted in Porto Velho.Two types of quartz sands extracted from the river, Celotex K60® chemical admixture and CP IV-32 cement were used in the formulation of three distinct mix proportions of mortar. In order to characterize the sands, there were made tests measuring their density, unit mass, moisture and granular distribution. The mortarswere characterized by the tests of water retention rate, tensile bond strength, axial compressivestrength, diametralcompressive strength, and also by the evaluation of thecracking pattern of the specimens. The results have shown that both sands have similar physical and granulometric properties, in the other hand, it was possible to notice the relationship between the bulk density fresh and the water retention. It was also seen that as the sand was increased as the bond and compressive strength were decreased.It is concluded that the Sand A has a better performance than Sand B in terms of dry-set mortar composition,the mix proportion 1:3 (cement and sand) gives better results, however the mix proportion 1:4 has more suitable characteristics in terms of Brazilian standard for Industrial Mortars. / Argamassas colantes são materiais muito empregadas na construção civil, e constituídas basicamente de cimento, areia, aditivos e água. Contudo, as mesmas são produzidas nos grandes centros industriais do país, principalmente no estado de São Paulo, muito distante da cidade de Porto Velho – RO, o que eleva o custo final do produto. O objetivo desta pesquisa é desenvolver uma Argamassa Colante Tipo ACI, utilizando areias do município de Porto Velho. Para tanto, foram utilizadas duas areias quartzosas de rio, aditivo químico Celotex K60® e cimento CP IV-32 para formulação de três traços das argamassas. Para caracterizar as areais foram realizados ensaios para determinar massa unitária, massa especifica e umidade superficial, bem como a distribuição granulométrica. Para caracterizar a argamassa foram realizados ensaios para determinar o percentual de retenção de água, a resistência de aderência e resistência a compressão axial e diametral, além da avaliação do padrão de fissuração dos corpos de prova. Os resultados mostraram que ambas as areias possuem propriedades físicas e granulometria bastante semelhantes; já quanto às argamassas foi possível notar a relação entre massa especifica fresca com o índice de retenção de água, e também que a medida que aumenta a quantidade de areia ocorre a redução da resistência tanto de aderência quanto de compressão. Assim, concluir que a areia A tem desempenho melhor na composição das argamassas quando se compara com a areia B, e que o traço 1:3 (cimento:areia) apresenta melhores resultados, contudo a composição 1:4 possui características adequadas para atender as normas para argamassa colante industrializada.
