Desempenho térmico, acústico e mecânico de compósitos cimentícios produzidos com resíduos da indústria madeireira de Porto Velho

Abstract

New paradigms in civil constructions require application of new technologies in alternative materials, less degrading and potential reuse of raw materials. This study aimed to evaluate and study the performance of unconventional materials existing in Porto Velho, in the Amazon region, looking for new applications in building materials. During the stages of collection and analysis of raw materials we tried to keep the focus on sustainability, through non-environmental degradation and low power consumption. So he undertook to carry out a dedicated work to resource reuse of actions and materials. Since it is still very present generation of residual matter in the wood processing industries, sought to make use of these resources and, in addition to removing environmental improper disposal of material, suggested an environmentally proper disposal, to the extent that no increases the degradation or power consumption. The suggested application was the material designed for thermal and acoustic insulation, more precisely, producing cementitious panels with addition of waste wood, masonry coating. In the study of compatibility between raw materials participants had to be included in the binder composition of a low content of Ca (OH)2 (slaked lime) and Amazon metakaolin. Thus, specimens were produced in the form of panels, which were tested thermally and acoustically in order to obtain data for assessing the potential for their use. In addition, the classic mechanical strength tests were performed (axial compression and tension in flexion) and physical composite ratings in the hardened state, in order to subsidize diagnoses on the rates achieved in other trials. The results demonstrated the applicability in construction, with an improvement in density reduced by 19% compared to conventional materials and temperature reduction by 32.3%, while the composite sound absorption was observed in 49%.
