An Alternative to Paver in Living Areas of Social Interest Housing (SIH)

The waste rubber from tire have been employed as aggregate in concrete due to their distinct characteristics, such as: less density, drainage properties improve thermal and acoustic isolation in construction, beyond final cost production reduced. This way, the substitution of part of natural aggregate by tire rubber, contributes to the natural aggregates preservation and offer an alternative for recycling this kind of waste. In view of these advantages, this study proposes the utilization of tire waste in projects of Social Interest Housing. The project has as mailing objective the construction of unfamiliar housing (vertical and horizontal) for low income families, searching a conciliation of sustainable development: social, environmental and economic. Social development means the worry with that low income family have a basic infrastructure; environmental development is to minimize the natural resources impact available; and economics is to offer new jobs and costs opportunities. The purpose of study the incorporation of this kind of waste in concretes used for interlocked pavers for floor to construct Social Interest Housing, aims to solve the problems of adequacy of this housings, offering a semi-rigid pavement that have a large use in landscaping for floor manufacturing, low maintenance and do not require specialist worker to their installation.
