Résumé:
Population growth and urban development are intrinsically related to increased
waste production, and it is necessary to develop techniques for such growth to
occur in a sustainable manner and to contribute to the reduction of waste
production and to provide adequate disposal. Currently, the industry is
responsible for the generation of various wastes, especially ethylene
politerephthalate (PET), which occupies a prominent volume in the dumps. In this
sense, it is feasible to give it destinations that provide longer service life without
completely discarding it, such as incorporating it into building materials. This
research aims to evaluate the adhesion of mortars produced with replacement of
conventional aggregate by polymeric aggregate in the contents of 5,10, 15, 20
and 25%. The tensile strength of the panels will be determined according to NBR
13528 (ABNT, 2010). The results indicated that mortars with a substitution
content of up to 5% of the fine aggregate for polymeric aggregate can be used in
external and internal cladding, and with a content of up to 15% in internal
cladding, and the material, previously discarded, can be inserted in the productive
chain.
