Avaliação da viabilidade técnica e ambiental do uso do bioconcreto em substituição ao concreto comum

Abstract

Civil construction is in charge of offering evolution to society and generating jobs. Despite this, it is responsible for several environmental impacts generated by buildings that produce a lot of waste and consume many resources from nature. Waste and the large-scale production of concrete are mainly responsible for the impacts generated by construction, they arise due to the maintenance and repairs that concrete needs throughout its useful life. As a result, studies of material technology have emerged so that impacts are reduced. In this sense, new materials are born, such as bioconcrete, which has characteristics to be studied and applied in the area of civil construction in order to improve the environmental sustainability of the works. Bioconcrete is capable of solving some pathologies that appear over time in concrete. For the elaboration of this work, theoretical research was carried out based on articles, scientific studies and review of bibliographies on the subject. In order to enable the use of bioconcrete to replace common concrete, comparative tables were created, they have relevant data for the study of this work and help to conclude that bioconcrete can be a material with relevant potential to replace common concrete and make viable its use with the purpose of reducing the environmental impacts generated by the civil construction.
