Agregado miúdo proveniente do Jari/AP como material de construção civil na utilização de argamassas

Abstract

Natural fine aggregates are widely used in construction for the production of mortars and concretes. This study analyzed the behavior of fine aggregate from Laranjal do Jari-AP, comparing it with the traditional fine aggregate from the metropolitan region of Belém-PA. Physical, mechanical, and durability tests were conducted following ABNT standards. The results showed that the aggregate from Laranjal do Jari-AP exhibited higher compressive and tensile strength, in addition to meeting durability standards, demonstrating potential for use in mortars in civil construction.
