ESTUDOS PRELIMINARES SOBRE A VIABILIDADE DA UTILIZAÇÃO DE GARRAFAS DE POLIETILENO (PET) EM LAJES ESTRUTURAIS

Abstract

Polyethylene bottles (PET) have been widely used in the world nowadays, whether by easily design, durability or ease of handling , transportation and storage. However, reverse logistics problems due to lack of proper disposal of packaging causes pollution to the environment. Seeking the removal of this material from an ecologically responsible manner environment, associated with the reduction of production costs and the own weight concrete waffle slabs, this paper has the objective of discuss a research carried out by laboratory analysis and slabs construction feasibility, which slabs were built with PET use inside. The conclusion was the finding positives, as economic, echnical and environmental use in PET bottles in concrete slabs.
