Bioconcreto: recuperação de patologias no concreto armado

Abstract

Bio concrete is a material little known for being in the study phase, but that, if it were to be used more effectively, could be the solution to major problems within civil engineering. This material has the function of regenerating the cracks, when it appears in the structure, bringing with it a good improvement, because it treats future problems even before they emerge. Thinking about this product applied within engineering, it would be a watershed, since one of the regrets within the branch are the great incidences of pathologies and the high expenses applied to repair the damage. That said, this research aims to put on the agenda the history of Bio concrete in evidence, its origins and advantages to examine how much this material could be beneficial or not to engineering, if widespread to the application of common use within the works. For this analysis, information will be collected from engineering and biology specialists, who work in similar areas in the labor market, in order to reach a plausible result on the viability of Bioconcrete within the current Brazilian civil construction market.
