UTILIZAÇÃO DE CONCRETO RECICLADO PARA CONTRA PISO E PAVIMENTAÇÃO DE CALÇADAS EM UM CONJUNTO HABITACIONAL NA CIDADE DE TRÊS PONTAS -MG: Comparativo de custo e resistência em relação ao concreto convencional

Abstract

The growing problem of scarcity of suitable material deposits for the construction industry has led to research into new sources and materials resources that could replace them. Among the materials researched are the residues, which can be recycled so that they can be used as aggregate for concrete. These researches have gained a lot of relevance due to the current environmental context, where the production of rubble is increasing and have caused several social, economic and public health problems, mainly due to the irregular disposal. The use of recycled materials in construction can be an important waste disposal channel. In order to verify the economic viability of replacing natural aggregates with recycled aggregates, this paper deals with a case study, comparing the cost and strength of these materials, allocating them non-structurally to counter floors and sidewalks. in the Jardim das Esmeraldas Housing Complex, located in Três Pontas, south of Minas Gerais.
