REUTILIZAÇÃO DO PÓ DE VIDRO COMO AGREGADO NA PRODUÇÃO DE BLOCOS MACIÇOS PARA ALVENARIA

Abstract

This study examines the reuse of glass powder as an aggregate in the production of solid blocks for the construction industry. Such an approach is necessary given the increasing demand for sustainable practices in the sector and the urgency to mitigate the environmental impacts caused by construction activities. The objective of this research is to assess the feasibility of incorporating glass powder into block manufacturing, promoting more sustainable practices. This goal will be achieved through a detailed literature review on waste reuse techniques in the construction industry and comparative case studies. The research will include an analysis of the performance of blocks produced with glass powder compared to conventional methods. Case studies will be conducted in representative construction contexts. The results obtained will provide valuable insights for the effective adoption of glass powder as a sustainable component in construction, highlighting its benefits and contributions to more responsible practices.
