AGGREGATION OF WASTE FROM RECYCLED CONCRETE BLOCKS IN THE DRAINING ASPHALT PAVEMENT MATRIX

Abstract

Currently, many cities are subject to situations caused by the lack of urban planning and protection of the environment. Some of the main characteristics of the urbanization process are the increase in masonry constructions, deforestation of the green area and paving, which considerably decrease local permeability. The northern region of the city of São Paulo, for example, faces problems at the expense of inadequate drainage of its urban roads, and the lack of actions aimed at improvements in these systems, to note this deficiency due to the floods that occurred in the neighborhood of Brasilândia. Another important issue, considering the national territory, is the generation of demolition waste and concrete block buildings, which has been increasing according to the verticalization of cities. In this context, it is necessary to search for sustainable solutions for the improvement of the described scenarios. Thus, permeable floors become an adequate alternative for the control of surface water flow. And the use of demolition waste for the production of other materials in civil construction is necessary, because today, much of it is disposed of incorrectly.
