Analysis of the incorporation of graphene oxide in cementitious matrices to obtain more sustainable construction methods

Abstract

Cities have sought sustainable strategies, with the purpose of bringing social inclusion, environmental protection and financial viability together with methods in the construction industry, helping organizations to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. In the urban context, civil construction appears, which is in a constant process of evolution to meet the management of the product's life cycle, through the insertion of more effective construction methods. Thus, the development of cement matrix composites with appropriate rheological and mechanical properties becomes a challenge, where the application of nanotechnology can help the sector to achieve its goals, through the incorporation of carbon-based materials, due to their characteristics. specific and applications that positively influence the results. In view of the above, this work aimed to verify, through correspondence and grouping analyses, the mechanical properties of composite materials with different forms of oxides, in order to determine the dosage that contributes to the minimization of the life cycle cost. of the infrastructure. For this, a bibliographic review was carried out in scientific databases, using descriptors with relevance in the civil construction sector related to mechanical parameters and sustainability. The desirability test carried out identified that reinforced composite materials can be successful in critical areas of structures and are examples of advances in this more sustainable construction method, mitigating problems related to climate change and promoting resilient infrastructure and sustainable cities.
