RESUMO

The hydraulic tiles are coverings produced by using hydraulic binders, whose production technology has not follow the great technological evolution of the concretes, the availabilities of new materials and the usual techniques in recent years, thus they have lost space and competition in the market due to their handicraft characteristic of production. This work had the objective to develop a mortar for production of hydraulic tiles using high performance concrete production technology. The aggregates were selected and proportioned using different techniques of particle packing, these techniques were implemented experimentally and their results were analyzed and compared through the measurement of the unit weight by rodding. The binders were selected to be used with clear and dark pigment necessity for production of decorative hydraulic tiles, thus two different mixture proportions of binders were elaborated, the first with structural white Portland cement and white metakaulin, and the second with high initial strength Portland cement resistant to sulphate and ferrosilicon silica fume. Different superplasticizer additives were tested, being the measure of compatibility with the binders and the determination of ideal proportions to be used with each type of binders measured in flow table consistency test. The evaluation of mortars developed for hydraulic tiles production was carried out by simple axial compression test, cylinder splitting test, and elastic modulus determination test. The hydraulic tiles were produced in a previously elaborated mould and molded by vibration, after dismoulding and cure were evaluated by flexural modulus test, wear by abrasion test, water absorption test, drying shrinkage test, chemical action test, and determination of the dimensions variations in different times of cure. After hydraulic tiles elaboration, production and evaluation, also were made some practical tests, and evaluated the material costs for production of these coverings, as part of an implementation study for production of these elements in industrial scale. The developed hydraulic tiles showed high performance in the evaluated characteristics, with simple axial compression strength until 143 MPa and water absorption about 1%, also showed production viability.
