Resumo A produção de tintas utilizando resíduos de beneficiamento de granito e mármore é uma nova alternativa para contribuir com o desenvolvimento sustentável na construção civil. Entretanto, a carência de estudos sobre a composição e o desempenho dessas tintas inviabiliza a disseminação desse novo material de construção. Logo, este estudo tem como objetivo investigar a composição dessas tintas utilizando ferramentas estatísticas para obter produtos com desempenho compatível com regulamentações técnicas e tintas comerciais. As formulações de tintas foram definidas através de um planejamento de misturas quaternárias. O teor de sólidos, pH, viscosidade, poder de cobertura e resistência à abrasão foram determinados para todas as amostras. As tintas produzidas com resíduos de granito apresentaram melhor poder de cobertura e resistência à abrasão, pois o resíduo de granito apresenta granulometria mais fina, além de ser predominantemente composto por sílica. Por fim, as tintas produzidas neste estudo e as tintas comerciais apresentaram comportamento semelhante, o que corrobora com o aproveitamento do resíduo do processamento de rochas ornamentais na produção de tintas. civil Entretanto Logo quaternárias sólidos pH viscosidade amostras fina sílica fim semelhante

Abstract The production of paints using waste from granite and marble processing is a new alternative to contribute to sustainable development in civil construction. However, the lack of studies on the composition and performance of these paints makes the dissemination of this new construction material unfeasible. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the composition of these paints using statistical tools to obtain products with performance compatible with technical regulations and commercial paints. The paint formulations were defined through a quaternary mixture planning. The solids content, pH, viscosity, hiding power, and abrasion resistance were determined for all samples. The paints produced with granite waste showed better hiding power and abrasion resistance, as granite waste has a finer granulometry, in addition to being predominantly composed of silica. Finally, the paints produced in this study and the commercial paints showed similar behavior, which supports the use of waste from the processing of ornamental rocks in paint production. However unfeasible Therefore planning content pH viscosity samples granulometry silica Finally behavior

Abstract Rural roads serve as pivotal conduits for the transportation of harvested crops to distribution hubs in Guarapuava-PR, a national agricultural focal point. This study evaluated the impact of incorporating brick kilns ashes(BKA) into the lateritic soil of an unpaved roadway. Mixtures of soil and BKA with three distinct granulometries were formulated, featuring substitution rates of 25%, 50%, and 75% ash relative to the total mixture mass,characterized in terms of: particle size distribution, liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), and the optimum point on the compaction curve under modified energy conditions (optimal moisture content and maximum dry bulk density). Results revealed that BKA inclusion led to increases in LL, PL, OMC, CBR, alongside a reduction of MDD and expansion for the majority of mixtures, particularly within granulometry C1 at a 25% content. Finer ashes exhibited prominence in ISC and expansion outcomes. Substitutions of 75% BKA detrimentally affected geotechnical properties; however, granulometric stabilization with BKA proved feasible, particularly in soil-C2 mixtures designated for use as a sub-base. These mixtures met recommended LL and PL parameters, providing effective waste mitigation and presenting an alternative for soil improvement in pavement applications.

Resumo Estradas vicinais são muito utilizadas para o escoamento da safra da área da colheita até os centros de distribuição na cidade de Guarapuava-PR, referência nacional no setor agrícola. Esta pesquisa avaliou o efeito da adição de cinzas de fornos de olarias (CFO) ao solo laterítico de uma estrada não pavimentada. Foram produzidas misturas de solo e CFO de três diferentes granulometrias, nos teores de substituição de 25%, 50% e 75%, de cinza em relação à massa total da mistura, caracterizadas quanto à:granulometria, limite de liquidez (LL), limite de plasticidade (LP) e ponto ótimo da curva de compactação sob energia modificada (umidade ótima (wot) e peso específico aparente seco máximo (ρdmáx)). Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a adição da CFO foi responsável por aumentos nos parâmetros LL, LP, wot, ISC, bem como pela redução do ρdmáx e da expansão da maioria das misturas, principalmente para a granulometria C1, no teor de 25%. Cinzas mais finas destacaram-se nos resultados de ISC e expansão. Substituições de 75% de CFO prejudicaram as propriedades geotécnicas, mas a estabilização granulométrica com CFO revelou-se viável, especialmente em misturas solo-C2 para utilização como sub-base, atendendo aos parâmetros recomendados de LL e LP, proporcionando mitigação de resíduos e uma alternativa para melhoramento de solos para pavimentação.

ABSTRACT Integrated production systems have emerged as a sustainable production strategy in intensifying land use with minimal impact on ecosystem functions. This study used precision agriculture tools to investigate the spatial variability of soil and vegetation properties in an integrated crop-livestock-forestry (ICLF) and in an integrated livestock-forestry (ILF) area of São Carlos city, SP, Brazil. Consequently, the following were assessed: (1) the soil physicochemical properties, (2) the electrical resistivity, and (3) the attributes of the Eucalyptus urograndis crop comprising the study area. Samplings were performed in (1) August 2021 at depths of 0-0.2 and 0.2-0.4 m; (2) October 2021 at depths of 0-0.5, 0-1.0, and 0-2.0 m; and (3) April 2021 and April 2022. Results indicated that the values for soil fertility parameters were suitable for crop development and presented low spatial variability. Soil analyses indicated low acidity, high levels of organic matter, average cation exchange capacity, phosphorus and potassium contents, high base saturation, and calcium and magnesium levels. However, locations with greater spatial variability for calcium were observed, reflecting cation exchange capacity and base saturation variability. Soil granulometry and electrical resistivity had a low spatial variability at the surface layer. Even without differences in the soil properties, there was a difference of 15% in the larger wood volume in the ILF then ICLF system. functions croplivestockforestry livestock forestry (ICLF livestockforestry (ILF city SP Brazil Consequently assessed 1 (1 2 (2 3 (3 202 00.2 002 0 0.2 0-0. 0.20.4 0204 0.4 4 0.2-0. m 00.5, 005 0.5, 5 0-0.5 01.0, 010 1.0, 0-1.0 02.0 020 2.0 0-2. 2022 acidity matter contents However observed layer 15 system ( 20 00 00. 02 0. 0-0 0.20. 04 0.2-0 00.5 05 0.5 01 01.0 10 1.0 0-1. 02. 2. 0-2 0- 0.20 0.2- 01. 1. 0-1

ABSTRACT The city of Bahía Blanca, located in the southwest of the province of Buenos Aires, has sustained for several decades a strong process of territorial expansion towards urban peripheral sectors. The use of land in the east and southeast of the city is currently manifested as an important element in the urban structure, sometimes without an adequate geotechnical study to know their response to the loads they can bear when used as physical support for engineering structures. With the aim of characterizing and classifying the soils of the outcropping and subsoil units of the sector, standardized in situ tests were carried out: resistance to penetration to estimate the compactness of the soil in its natural state and density of the soil in situ by the cone of sand method. In the laboratory, the granulometry determination method was applied by wet sieving and the Atterberg limits were determined. Based on the established parameters, the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) was carried out. The preliminary studies carried out allowed us to define that, in the study area, the soils vary in depth from fine soils, clays of medium to high plasticity and silts of low plasticity, which grade to clayey sands / silty sands. The soils studied are mainly made up of: soils type CH and Cl on the surface that grade to SC and

RESUMEN La ciudad de Bahía Blanca, ubicada en el sudoeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires, sostiene desde hace varias décadas un fuerte proceso de expansión territorial hacia sectores periféricos urbanos. El uso de las tierras en el este y sudeste de la ciudad, se manifiesta actualmente como un elemento importante en la estructura urbana, en ocasiones sin un adecuado estudio geotécnico para estudiar su respuesta ante las cargas que puedan soportar cuando son utilizados como soporte físico de estructuras ingenieriles. Con el objetivo de caracterizar y clasificar los suelos de las unidades aflorantes y del subsuelo del sector, se realizaron ensayos normalizados in situ: resistencia a la penetración para estimar la compacidad del suelo en estado natural y densidad del suelo in situ por el método de cono de arena. En laboratorio se aplicó método de determinación de la granulometría mediante tamizado por vía húmeda y se determinaron los límites de Atterberg. En función a los parámetros establecidos se realizó la Clasificación Unificada de Suelos (Unified Soil Classification System, USCS). Los estudios preliminares realizados permitieron definir que, en el área de estudio los suelos varían en profundidad desde suelos finos, arcillas de plasticidad media a alta y limos de baja plasticidad, que gradan a arenas arcillosas / arenas limosas. Los suelos estudiados están constituidos principalmente por: suelos tipo CH y Cl en superficie que gradan a SC y SM.

RESUMEN El trabajo tuvo el propósito de caracterizar, desde el punto de vista químico, físico, granulométrico y mineralógico, un residuo industrial de hidróxido de calcio generado en el proceso de fabricación de acetileno. Las muestras se analizaron, primeramente, sin neutralizar; luego se realizó el mismo procedimiento, usando ácido sulfúrico a un 98 % de pureza. Para ambos casos, las temperaturas de calentamiento fueron de 500 oC y 900 oC. Para identificar las fases, los patrones de difracción fueron obtenidos usando fuente de radiación de cobre (CuKα, λ=1,5418 Å). Se determinó que el residual presenta CaO y MgO, lo que garantiza su pureza. Al calentarlo sin neutralizar a 500 oC se transforma el hidróxido de calcio y a los 900 oC hay pérdida del carbonato y del agua. En el residual, tanto sin tratamiento como neutralizado, está presente el hidróxido de calcio.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the work was to characterize, from the chemical, physical, granulometric and mineralogical point of view, an industrial residue of calcium hydroxide generated in the acetylene manufacturing process. Samples were first analyzed without neutralization; then the same procedure was performed using 98 % purity sulphuric acid. For both cases, the heating temperatures used were 500 °C and 900 °C. To identify the phases, diffraction patterns were obtained using copper radiation source (CuKα, λ = 1.5418 Å). It was determined that residual contains CaO and MgO, which guarantees its purity; heated at 500 °C, and without neutralizing, calcium hydroxide is transformed and there is loss of water and carbonate at 900 °C. In both untreated and neutralized waste, calcium hydroxide is present.

Abstract We present the results of ongoing research on different clay sources at Antofagasta de la Sierra, evaluating their potential for pottery-making. It included outcrops mapping, sample collection, petrographic characterisation and experimental archaeology to characterise different clay sources in Antofagasta de la Sierra. The former allowed locating and analysing clay components and the experimentation defined clay behaviour during pottery-making, both before and after firing. Our analyses established different categories based on clay appropriateness for pottery making: highly appropriate, slightly appropriate and non-appropriate clays. According to experimentation, this difference takes place after firing, as many highly-plastic and plastic clays disaggregate and peel off generating slightly hard and disaggregated fabrics due to the presence of small to large carbonate inclusions. These results provide a reference for archaeological studies of fabrics including the composition, granulometry and abundance of inclusions naturally present in local clays. In addition, data from experimental archaeology such as malleability and plasticity, contraction rate, thermal resistance and strength will help define the processes involved in pottery manufacture.

Resumen Presentamos los primeros resultados de una investigación, cuyo objetivo principal fue estudiar las diferentes fuentes de arcilla de Antofagasta de la Sierra y evaluar su potencialidad para la manufactura cerámica. A partir del mapeo de los distintos afloramientos, la toma de muestras, el análisis petrográfico y la arqueología experimental, se caracterizaron distintas fuentes de arcilla de Antofagasta de la Sierra. Los primeros estudios posibilitaron ubicar y analizar los componentes de las mismas y la experimentación permitió evaluar los comportamientos de las arcillas en los procesos de manufactura cerámica, antes y después de la cocción. Los análisis implementados permitieron establecer diferentes categorías en función de su adecuación a la producción cerámica: arcillas muy aptas, arcillas poco aptas y arcillas no aptas. Los resultados de la experimentación permitieron observar que esta diferencia tiene lugar luego del proceso de cocción, en el cual muchas de las arcillas que presentan una buena a muy buena plasticidad y maleabilidad, se disgregan y descascaran dando como resultado cerámicas con poca dureza y una textura disgregable debido, en todos los casos, a la presencia de inclusiones de carbonatos de tamaños medianos a grandes. Esta información resultará útil a la hora de abordar el estudio de la tecnología cerámica, al proporcionar datos de referencia para el análisis arqueológico, como la composición, la granulometría y la abundancia de los clastos presentes en las arcillas locales.

Abstract: The clay fraction of earthen plasters is the part responsible for the acquisition of cohesion and adherence that they possess against deterioration factors. Adherence is the property responsible for keeping the plaster together with the wall and is influenced by the percentage content of clay as well as by its mineralogy and the heterogeneity of minerals that may be present. However, it is still unknown in depth how clay minerals perform in the adherent properties of earthen plasters when the composition is heterogeneous in the material. The objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of the mineralogical complexity of clay mineralogy in the variability of the adherence of earth plasters. To evaluate the variability, considering that the mineralogy of the soils depends directly on the place and the formation processes, eight soils from Tucumán (Argentina) corresponding to different physiographic units were analyzed. A methodology was designed for sample preparation that allows soils to be compared through adhesion tests. They were characterized by XRD to determine their mineralogical composition and by the hydrometric method to determine their granulometry. To evaluate the adherence of mixtures made with the respective soils, it was proposed in the first instance to compensate the granulometry of the soils to equate them and, once the plasters were made, this property was evaluated through shear and pull-off tests. The results showed that they allowed us to identify that the soils presented a pattern of mineralogical composition common to all the physiographic units, made up of the Ill and K pair, the former being predominant. For this pattern, it was observed in particular that there is a positive correlation between the increase in Ill content with the increase in the adhesive strength of the plasters. Clay minerals from the Sm group also contribute to the increase in adherence when the percentage is greater than or equal to 11%. On the contrary, K and Cl do not influence the increase in adhesive strength

Abstract Mining is the largest economic activity in Peru, contributing a considerable percentage of the country's Gross Domestic Product. However, the process of this activity evidences several socio-environmental conflicts. The generation of mining waste or expressed as mining tailings from the various processes is a latent threat that affects the spheres of sustainable development. The objective of this study was to propose the valorization of mining tailings as aggregates for road construction in the Andean region of Peru under a circular economy approach. Consequently, several analyses were carried out to evaluate its viability, such as the meteorological factor of precipitation, acidity or alkalinity, elements present in the sample, granulometry, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Marshall test. The results have shown that the proposal complies with the parameters established at the national level with a stability of 877.67 kg and a 25% utilization of mine tailings. In conclusion, the use of mine tailings as aggregates for construction is a viable proposal for road construction under a circular economy approach. Finally, the analysis of the valorization of mining waste in other elements of the construction sector is recommended to continue promoting the circular economy and sustainable development.

Finalmente, se recomienda el análisis de valorización de residuos mineros en otros elementos del sector construcción para continuar promoviendo la economía circular y desarrollo sostenible.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The extruded products in Cuba are produced from corn meal, a raw material obtained from imported corn grain. Extrusion technology allows the production of products from flour mixtures. Objective: To determine the adequate proportion of the corn and rice flour mixture and the extruder operating temperature. Materials and Methods: A granulometric analysis of both flours was made. Mixtures of corn flour (M) and rice four (A) were prepared. An industrial extruder with a capacity of 200 kg/h and a nozzle diameter of 4 mm was used. The experimental variables were M/A ratio (90 M/10 A, 75 M/25 A y 60 M/40 A) and temperature (190 y 210 °C). The investigated variables were expansion and humidity as well as those corresponding to the sensorial evaluation. Results and Discussion: Rice flour shows a finer granulometry than corn flour; this may limit its level of addition to the mixture. The investigated variables were found to be independent of temperature, but dependent on the proportion of the flours. From the desirability function, the best result was obtained for 60 M/40 A and 190 ºC. Conclusions: Corn and rice flours have similar starch content. The level of rice flour addition is determined by the incorporation of smaller particle sizes into the mixture. The overall sensory quality, according to the desirability function, was 7.4, equivalent to good.

RESUMEN Introducción: Los productos extruidos en Cuba se elaboran a partir de harina de maíz, materia prima obtenida de la importación del maíz en grano. La tecnología de extrusión permite elaborar productos a partir de mezclas de harinas. Objetivo: Determinar la proporción adecuada de la mezcla de harinas de maíz y arroz y la temperatura de operación del extrusor. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un análisis granulométrico de ambas harinas. Se prepararon mezclas de harina de maíz (M) y harina de arroz (A). Se utilizó un extrusor industrial de 200 kg/h de capacidad y 4 mm de diámetro de boquilla. Las variables experimentales fueron la proporción M/A (90 M/10 A, 75 M/25 A y 60 M/40 A) y la temperatura (190 y 210 °C). Las variables investigadas fueron el índice de expansión y la humedad, así como las correspondientes a la evaluación sensorial. Resultados y Discusión: La harina de arroz presenta una granulometría más fina que la de maíz; ello puede limitar su nivel de adición a la mezcla. Las variables investigadas resultaron independientes de la temperatura, pero dependientes de la proporción de las harinas. A partir de la función de deseabilidad se obtuvo el mejor resultado para 60M/40A y 190 °C. Conclusiones: Las harinas de maíz y arroz tienen un contenido de almidón similar. El nivel de adición de harina de arroz queda determinado por la incorporación a la mezcla de partículas con menor tamaño. La calidad sensorial global, según la función de deseabilidad fue de 7,4 equivalente a buena.

Resumen El objetivo fue determinar un modelo matemático para calcular la velocidad de deposición del lodo resultante del lavado de áridos de la Unidad Empresarial de Base del Jobo de Sagua de Tánamo, el cual es transportado por tuberías. Se efectuó muestreo, análisis granulométricos y densimétricos y se utilizó un diseño de experimento factorial completo con cuatro pruebas y dos réplicas cada una. La variable de entrada, porcentaje de sólidos, se estudió a cuatro niveles (4 %, 12 %, 20 % y 28 %). Se determinó que la arcilla contenida en el lodo por su granulometría predominante inferior a 40 µm clasifica como limo. Asimismo, se reveló que la densidad del sólido es 1 901 kg/m3. Se compararon los resultados de la velocidad de deposición determinados por medición indirecta y los que se predicen por cálculos utilizando el modelo de Durand, con el objetivo de mejorar la precisión y confiabilidad de este, obteniendo un error relativo de coincidencia inferior al 5%. Se determina una función de corrección que cuantifica la relación entre la velocidad de sedimentación gravitatoria y la velocidad de deposición.

Abstract The objective was to determine a mathematical model to calculate the deposition velocity of the mud resulting from the washing of aggregates from the Jobo Base Business Unit of Sagua de Tánamo, which is transported by pipelines. Sampling, granulometric and densimetric analyzes were carried out and a complete factorial experiment design with four tests and two replications each was used. The input variable, percentage of solids, was studied at four levels (4%, 12%, 20% and 28%). It was determined that the clay contained in the mud, due to its predominant granulometry of less than 40 µm, classifies as silt. It was also revealed that the density of the solid is 1,901 kg/m3. The results of the deposition velocity determined by indirect measurement and those predicted by calculations using the Durand model were compared, with the aim of improving its precision and reliability, obtaining a relative coincidence error of less than 5%. A correction function is determined that quantifies the relationship between gravitational sedimentation velocity and deposition velocity.

INFLUENCE OF THE PROCEDURE FOR GRANULOMETRIC SAMPLE ADJUSTMENT OF RED CERAMIC AGGREGATED WITH DIMENSION STONE WASTES FOR CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO THE ABNT CRITERIA’S. In order to clarify questions about the granulometric preparation of samples for the classification of solid wastes according to the Brazilian technical standard (NBR 10004/04), solubilization tests were carried out on red ceramic specimens made with conventional clay aggregated with ornamental rock residues. Samples were prepared by fragmentation and milling to verify the effects on metals releasing to the extractor medium. The specimens were made with 80% clay, 20% residue and 10% (m/m) moisture and sintered at 1000 °C. The data show that ceramics made with conventional clay, when discarded, will produce non inert wastes, as well as the ceramics made with dimension stone wastes added to the conventional raw material, according to the granulometry of its particles. After all, the metals concentration in the solubilization test are influenced by the sample granulometry. This paper shows that the method of granulometric adjustment should be detailed in the technical standard for solubilization tests (NBR 10006/04), in order to ensure the reliability of the method for classification of solid wastes.

Abstract Finding ways to reuse residue is an alternative not only to reduce its presence in urban and natural environments, but also to reduce costs and consumption of resources by industries. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the properties of concretes made by replacing conventional coarse and fine aggregates with marble residue. Morphological, granulometry, specific gravimetry and crystalline phase analyses were carried out in the aggregates. The composition of the constituents, by mass, was 1:1,2:3 of Portland cement CPIII-32 RS, fine aggregates, and coarse aggregate, respectively, with the addition of 0.4 of water, molded and cured in water. About 25 concrete samples were made, varying the amount of coarse/fine aggregate in the cement mass according to the aggregates proportions of: A= 100% gravel/ 100% sand, B= 100% coarse RRO/ 50% fine RRO + 50% sand, C= 50% coarse RRO + 50% gravel/ 100% fine RRO, and D = 100% coarse RRO/100% fine RRO. The cylindrical samples measuring ∅50 x 100 mm were subjected to water absorption and compressive strength tests, and the results were compared with standards and literature. The water absorption was smaller than 2.5% and the compressive strength values were between 27-33 MPa, close to the resistance of cement used. Composition B presented the best results among the others, indicating the possibility of using the residue from marble for production of concretes for various purposes such as low load paving, sidewalks, blocks, among others. However, for interlocking floors, higher performance cement should be used to achieve the required strength. This type of concrete adds value to the residue and mitigates environmental impacts. environments industries Morphological granulometry constituents 11,23 1123 1 1,2 3 2 1:1,2: CPIII32 CPIII 32 CPIII-3 RS respectively 04 0 4 0. coarsefine A gravel sand 50 C RRO100 RRO/100 ∅5 10 tests literature 5 2.5 2733 27 33 27-3 MPa others paving sidewalks blocks However floors impacts 11 23 11,2 112 12 1, 1:1,2 CPIII3 CPIII- RRO10 RRO/10 ∅ 2. 273 27- 11, 1:1, RRO1 RRO/1 1:1 1:

Resumo Encontrar formas de reaproveitar resíduos é uma alternativa não só para reduzir sua presença em ambientes urbanos e naturais, mas também para reduzir custos e consumo de matérias primas pelas indústrias. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar as propriedades de concretos fabricados através da substituição de agregados graúdos e miúdos convencionais por resíduo de mármore. Foram realizadas análises de morfologia, granulometria, massa específica e da fase cristalina dos agregados. A composição dos constituintes, em massa, foi 1:1,2:3 de cimento Portland CPIII-32 RS, agregados miúdos e agregados graúdos, respectivamente, com adição de 0,4 de água, moldados e curados em água. Foram confeccionadas cerca de 25 amostras de concreto, variando a quantidade de agregado graúdo/fino na massa de cimento de acordo com as proporções de agregados de: A= 100% brita/ 100% areia, B= 100% RRO grosso/ 50% RRO fino + 50% areia, C= 50% RRO grosso + 50% cascalho/ 100% RRO fino, e D = 100% RRO grosso/100% RRO fino. As amostras cilíndricas medindo ∅50 x 100 mm foram submetidas a testes de absorção de água e resistência à compressão, e os resultados obtidos foram comparados com algumas normas e com a literatura. A absorção de água foi inferior a 2,5% e a resistência à compressão ficou entre 27-33 MPa, valor próximo à resistência do cimento utilizado. A composição B apresenta os melhores resultados entre as demais, indicando a possibilidade de utilização do resíduo do mármore para produção de concretos para diversas finalidades como pavimentação de baixa carga, calçadas, blocos, entre outros. No entanto, para pisos intertravados, deve-se utilizar cimento de maior desempenho para atingir a resistência necessária. Esse tipo de concreto agrega valor ao resíduo e mitiga os impactos ambientais. naturais indústrias morfologia granulometria constituintes 11,23 1123 1 1,2 3 2 1:1,2: CPIII32 CPIII 32 CPIII-3 RS respectivamente 04 0 4 0, graúdofino graúdo brita areia 50 C cascalho grosso100 grosso/100 ∅5 10 literatura 5 2,5 2733 27 33 27-3 MPa utilizado demais carga calçadas blocos outros entanto intertravados devese deve se necessária ambientais 11 23 11,2 112 12 1, 1:1,2 CPIII3 CPIII- grosso10 grosso/10 ∅ 2, 273 27- 11, 1:1, grosso1 grosso/1 1:1 1:

ABSTRACT This study primarily focuses on analyzing the pore structure characteristics and predicting permeability in binary blended pervious concretes, both with and without fines. The pervious concretes included fly ash, a class 'C' material, as a partial cement replacement (10% and 20%). The aggregates consisted of a mix of coarse aggregates, with sizes ranging from 19–9.5 mm and 9.5–4.75 mm, and fine aggregates substituted a portion of the coarse aggregates at specific levels (5–15%). The area fraction (ϕA) and volumetric methodology (ϕV) were used for assessing the porosity of the binary blended pervious concrete mixtures. The properties of the pore size were measured through morphological techniques. The Katz-Thompson (K-T) relationship utilized porosity and pore size data from image analysis to predict permeability in pervious concretes. Comparing the two porosity calculation methods, the porosities obtained through image analysis (area fraction) were slightly higher than those obtained through the volumetric technique. The pore characteristics identified through techniques like Two-Point Correlation and granulometry were found to be quite similar. Results indicated a strong agreement between the experimentally determined and predicted permeability values. fines ash C 'C material 10% 10 (10 20%. 20 20% . 20%) 1995 19 9 5 19–9. 95475 4 75 9.5–4.7 5–15%. 515 5–15% 15 (5–15%) ϕA (ϕA ϕV (ϕV mixtures KatzThompson Katz Thompson KT K T (K-T methods technique TwoPoint Two Point similar values 1 (1 2 199 19–9 9547 7 9.5–4. 51 5–15 (5–15% ( 19– 954 9.5–4 5–1 (5–15 95 9.5– 5– (5–1 9.5 (5– 9.

ABSTRACT. This study aimed to correlate the physical characteristics of ground corn, at different crushing intensities, with the zootechnical performance of piglets in the nursery phase. Forty piglets (20 castrated males and 20 females) with an initial average weight of 15.7±1.98 kg and final weight of 32.5±3.27 kg were used. They were subjected to the same type of experimental diet (4% of commercial premix for the phase, 29% of soybean meal, and 67% of ground corn), with the only difference being the corn grinding process. The corn used was fractionated into five portions, and each one of them was crushed in a hammermill equipped with a different screen hole diameter (2; 2.5; 3; 3.5 and 4 mm). Which resulted in ground corn with the following particle sizes (PS): 518, 580, 628, 706 and 740 μm, and the following corn geometric standard deviations (GSD): 1.72, 1.71, 1.75, 1.80 and 1.90, respectively. The piglets were distributed in a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications, with the experimental units being formed by pens with two piglets each. There was no effect (p > 0.10) from grinding intensities on daily feed intake (DFI) and daily weight gain (DWG). Conversely, there was an effect (p < 0.10) from different grinding intensities on feed conversion (FC). The PS and GSD of both the corn and diet, as well as the corn fractions retained on the 4-, 2- and 1.2-mm test sieves showed positive correlations with FC (p < 0.05). On the other hand, the corn fractions retained on the 0.6-, 0.3- and 0.15-mm teste sieves showed negative correlations with FC (p < 0.05). The linear model was the one that fitted the estimated data into the data observed for FC. A corn PS reduction from 740 to 580 μm promoted a linear improvement in FC. The use of corn fractions, retained on the 1-, 2- and 0.3-mm test sieves, and the use of corn GSD and diet GSD as independent variables showed a higher R² than that obtained with the use of corn PS as an independent variable in linear equations for estimating FC.
