Avaliação experimental de traços de pó da raspa de pneu como agregado de tijolo ecológico não estrutural.

Abstract

This paper analyzes an alternative to use of waste tire aiming the production of ecologic bricks in civil construction. In Brazil, the increasing amount of waste tires generated each year mainly in high population density cities is becoming an environmental problem and hence motivating different ways for its use. In this study, we present a new methodology of making blocks of soil-cement bricks with addition of tire dust, as an alternative of using this waste. The literature points to the advantages that ecoblocos has over conventional bricks and the environmental benefits that their use can provide. To attempt this purpose, we adopted the technique of producing soil-cement brick, according to ABNT patterns for making ecoblocos samples adding different proportions of tire dust. The results indicate that different proportions of waste tire in ecoblocos samples cause differences in the resistance level of each cylinder shaped. But could not specify what would be the correlation between the amount of residue and resistance ecoblocos, suggesting a review of the process of making the samples.
