Resumo:
The study evaluates the mechanical behavior of a sand reinforced with polymer compared to pure sand. Direct-cut tests were carried out on pure sand samples and with the addition of modified styrene butadiene-styrene (XSBR) copolymer. The copolymer of butadiene and styrene is an elastomer composed of approximately 75 percent butadiene and 25 percent styrene, purchased in aqueous solution, being widely used in the automotive industry for the production of tires. It may be produced from the emulsion polymerization or solution polymerization processes. The choice of these materials is related to their properties being compatible the requirements for soil improvement in geotechnical works. Polymer sand samples had 50 percent relative density, 10% moisture, in water-polymer volume ratios of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:4, without curing time, or with times of cure 24, 48, 72, 96, 576, 720 and 1080 hours. Improvements in the resistance parameters of the sand samples with polymer addition were verified in comparison to the pure sand parameters, showing that the improvement of soils with polymers is satisfactory for the application in geotechnical works, such as: landfills on soft soils, soils of shallow foundations and for slope stability.
