Evaluation of the Properties of the Adhesive Mortar in the Fresh State with Addition of Glass Waste

摘要

The glass cutting industry is responsible for generating large quantities of waste, during the stages of cutting and polishing. The disposal of this material generates a cost to the company, thus looking for ways to repackage it, so there is the possibility of incorporating it into the adhesive mortar. The objective of this work is the characterization of waste and assessment of the properties of these mortars, fresh, and check the possibility of their use. As for the characterization, were carried out particle size testing, density and pozzolanic activity, for the fresh state were performed tests of air content, water retention consistency and entrained particular index. Were incorporated 0, 10, 15 and 20% of the amount of sand. The results showed that the material on display has potential for use in adhesive mortar, with values within the limits stipulated by Brazilian standards.
