RESUMO

Every construction material after sometime of using presents wastages which compromises its efficiency and turns indispensable its substitution or disposal. Porcelain electrical insulators, after a certain time of use, lose their insulator functions and are needed to be substituted and its monthly disposal in the brazilian electric sector comes to more than ten tons. In many cases the deposit of these insulators is done in a messy way compromising the environment and springs. During the manufacturing process of these electric insulators, wastes are generated coming up to 10% of the total production and the disposal is done by the pottery industries in the garbage. These two types of rejection cause in nature a passive material which takes many years for its decomposition. Therefore the characterization of this pottery material and the development of a study substituting the aggregate materials used in mortars and concretes, is an alternative of the rationalization of the discard of this material and preservation of the environment. For the use of waste of the porcelain insulators in the civil construction, it is needed to grind them in grinders, similar to great and tiny common aggregates. This work studied concrete and mortar portions with gradual substitutions of ground insulators, comparing some of its properties with reference features done with common aggregates. For each feature were studied the mechanical properties, the working, the cure and the durability. Because of the porcelain insulators have similar characteristics to the common aggregates after the grind, their use in mortar and concretes for the feature patterns and types of cure performed, substituting partially the aggregates, it was quite satisfactory mainly when the substituted aggregate was the small aggregate
