Resumo:
Civil Construction is one of the industries that generate the most solid waste in the world. Recycled aggregates (RCD), as an option to aggregates obtained by mining deposits, derive from reprocessed materials that were previously used in construction and demolition. As the reuse of RCD has been growing worldwide, but the quality and standardization of the material are still an impediment to its use on larger scales, it is necessary to investigate the properties of this material. In the present study, computerized microtomography (microCT) was used in order to generate two-dimensional and three-dimensional images to observe the porous structure of the material and, through a computational routine, the images obtained were evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. Initially, the image processing routine was carried out to reduce the noise effects resulting from the acquisition of the images in the microtomograph, in addition to a standardization of the histograms of all layers. The images of the samples were segmented and quantified so that the porosity (pores and porous channels) could be identified and analyzed. In a complementary way, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques were also used for porosity analysis. The results of volume, aspect ratios and pore sphericity of concretes with and without recycled aggregates were analyzed and compared with their respective compressive strengths. The results showed, as expected, a higher porosity in the specimens with the addition of RCD. With a difference of almost 50 percent in the porosity volume, it is important to highlight that the compressive strength of both samples was satisfactory and within a range close to values (31.4MPa for the reference concrete and 25.73 MPa for the concrete with the addition of RCD). This result can be explained by the need to eliminate objects smaller than 1 voxel, which may have caused a change in the values of the volumes found, that is, more pores smaller than 1 voxel were eliminated in the reference CPs.
