This research had as purpose to use the SWOT matrix as an analysis tool to subsidize the possibility of creating an intercity consortium on gestating and managing the Urban Solid Waste (USW) on the Baixa Mogiana microregion, Minas Gerais (MG). It was made a bibliographic survey and the region diagnosys happened starting from documental research and field research. From these results, the SWOT matrix technique w...
Concerns with conservation of nonrenewable resources are propelling academic research regarding the use of recycled aggregates in concrete production. Concrete’s shrinkage is a phenomenon intimately linked to concrete loss of water, which is almost inevitable, since the majority of concrete structures is exposed to an environment where atmospheric humidity is below saturation condition. This paper presents an e...
To contribute to the recycled aggregate concrete study, an experimental test was made by substituting the natural aggregates for recycled aggregates of concrete, of mortar and of red ceramic, which are the three main ingredients of Brazilian construction and demolition waste. Besides the aggregate types, the water/cement ratio (w/c) was also changed from 0.4 to 0.8, fixing the amount of pre soaking water of the...
