Análise da fissuração de paredes por meio da ruptura com dois diferentes tipos de argamassa: convencional e polimérica

Abstract

The presence of new materials and construction techniques in the sealing walls is remarkable, and although they do not perform structural functions, they are subject to external loads that may lead to undesirable effects. The main objective of this work is to analyze and compare the cracking of the mortar when submitted to rupture, in walls, with the use of polymer and conventional mortar. Thus, axial compression tests were performed on three types of masonry prototypes: the first using only conventional horizontal mortar, the second using conventional horizontal and vertical mortar and the third using polymer mortar only horizontally. Although the work brings results of the mechanical evaluations and behavior of the ruptures of the different prototypes, besides the tests in the materials used, the results do not allow to affirm that the substitution of the mortar brings differences in the cracking and the compression.
