Análise de desempenho do sistema estrutural de paredes de concreto com ar incorporado

Abstract

The history of the building is linked to the development of man and have obtained advances in the housing area. Given this progress, the concept of building performance has been studied, and can be understood as the behavior in use of buildings along the lifespan. The ABNT NBR 15575:2013 implemented various performance requirements. This study aims to evaluate performance requirements in concrete walls with incorporated air. This assessment was made by soft body tests, hard body, and thermal shock tests. It has been used three types of concrete with various levels of air additive developer. The sample groups were formed for three prototypes of houses with four walls each, plus 9 panels that were shaped in wooden molds in the same conditions of prototypes, and with the addition of 24 cp’s cylindrical molding's (10 cm x 20 cm), of each type of concrete. Thus, the input variable is the content of air incorporator additive, and the output variables are: specific mass, air content and real concrete composition in the fresh state; impact resistance soft body and hard body, thermal shock resistance, elastic modulus, compressive resistance and the specific mass of the concrete in the hard state. In soft body tests and hard body, the results indicated that the instantaneous displacement generated by the soft body impact test corresponding to h/13320 (h = 2720 mm) and no failures signals; displacements maintained a negative correlation with air content and positive regarding the impact energy, represented by the release height of the cylindrical bag; the depth of the dents is less than 0.085 mm for the walls and prototypes and SVVE can be rated performance level S according to ABNT NBR 15575:2013. The panels, the air content in the concrete positively influenced the results of the thermal shock action; the incorporation of air reduced the curvatures during the action of heat and according to NBR 15575:2013 the SVVE tested has performance level M.
