Resumo
A pasta de cimento é originada pela combinação do cimento com a água. A inclusão do agregado miúdo, como a areia, conduz à formação da argamassa de cimento. Ao introduzir o agregado graúdo, como a pedra britada ou seixos rolados, é constituído o concreto simples. Aperfeiçoando ainda mais o desempenho do concreto, aditivos são incorporados a essa mistura. Esses aditivos desempenham um papel crucial na otimização eficiente e na redução dos custos finais do concreto, sendo responsáveis pela melhoria de diversas propriedades físicas e químicas, como o controle do desenvolvimento da resistência e a consistência do material. Em vista do aprimoramento de desempenho proporcionado pelos aditivos, as centrais dosadoras de concreto recebem, constantemente, diferentes tipos desses componentes, provenientes de indústrias químicas, destinados a testes em laboratório. Nesse contexto, para manter a competitividade do concreto no mercado da construção civil, é essencial realizar ensaios e experimentos para avaliar qual produto mais eficaz. As concreteiras, portanto, demandam tempo para conduzir esses procedimentos. Este trabalho fundamentou-se no método proposto por Martins (2005), que visava desenvolver testes em argamassa utilizando aditivos redutores de água. O objetivo é investigar a perda de abatimento que ocorre no concreto ao longo do tempo e obter informações que estabeleçam correlações entre os testes realizados em concreto e argamassa. Dessa forma, busca-se verificar a relação entre o ensaio de consistência do concreto, abatimento de tronco de cone (Slump test), segundo NBR 16889:2020, e o ensaio de argamassa, índice de consistência pela mesa de abatimento, além de estudar a correlação entre os ensaios de resistência para 7 e 28 dias tanto para o concreto quanto para a argamassa, utilizando o mesmo tipo de cimento.
Cement paste is originated by the combination of cement with water. The inclusion of fine aggregate, such as sand, leads to the formation of cement mortar. By introducing coarse aggregate, such as crushed stone or rounded pebbles, plain concrete is constituted. Further enhancing concrete performance, additives are incorporated into this mixture. These additives play a crucial role in efficiently optimizing and reducing the final costs of concrete, being responsible for improving various physical and chemical properties, such as controlling strength development and material consistency. In view of the performance enhancement provided by additives, concrete batching plants constantly receive different types of these components from chemical industries for laboratory testing. In this context, to maintain concrete competitiveness in the construction market, it is essential to conduct tests and experiments to evaluate which product is most effective. Concrete producers, therefore, require time to conduct these procedures. This work was based on the method proposed by Martins (2005), which aimed to develop tests on mortar using water-reducing additives. The goal is to investigate the slump loss that occurs in concrete over time and obtain information that establishes correlations between tests conducted on concrete and mortar. Thus, it seeks to verify the relationship between the concrete consistency test, slump test (according to NBR 16889:2020), and the mortar test, consistency index by the slump table, as well as to study the correlation between the strength tests for 7 and 28 days for both concrete and mortar, using the same type of cement.
