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.
