| Abstract | |
The present thesis evaluates the adherence of slurry mortars in substrates of structural concretes. To optimize the microstructure of the interfacial transition zone of mortar and concrete and to improve the adherence of mortar renderings, slurry mortars of lower water/cement ratio with silica obtained from rice husk were used as treatment of interfacial transition zone. In order to evaluate adherence, bond strength tests were realized. The microstructural characterization of the interfacial transition zone of slurry mortars and concrete was performed by scanning electronic microscopy. The results indicate that adding silica obtained from rice husk into the slurry mortars increases the bond strength. Moreover, the formation of a dense microstructure is observed in the interfacial transition zone of slurry mortar and concrete due to the microfiller effect and high pozzolanic activity of the silica obtained from rice husk. The implementation of a connection bridge constituted by slurry mortars with the addition of the silica obtained from rice husk between the substrate and the mortar rendering showed to be efficient in the substrates with low porosity, as in the case of concrete structures.
