| Abstract | The development of new construction materiais, using industrial wastes, can to reduce the cost o f construction and preserve the environment. These advantages have been waking the interest o f researchers around world. This work describes the studies to make use o f E. V.A. (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) wastes, which is a polymer very utilized to make soles in the shoes industry. The big amount of EVA wastes producted per month has been deposited in many earth sufaces, causing many environmental problems. Therefore utilizes these wastes can represent a new source of take for business enterprises. Furthermore, can contribute to solve the enviromental problems. Due to the low weight of this material the studies were conducted to find out a new Lightweight aggregate to use in the civil construction. The first step was to grind the wastes from the factories to reduce them to an aggregate. Then was developed an experimental program where the physical and mechanical properties ofthe concrete obtained rnixing cement, sand and EVA aggregate were analyzed. The results shown a new Lightweight aggregate concrete that can be utilized to make non structural components for construction as thermal insulation o f roofs, to reduce de impact noise between slabs of the multistory building and to acoustical absorption. The studies also conclude that the strength can be control through the concrete density in the project rnix. |
