The concept of sustainable construction throughout the building life cycle has motivated several studies on the application of waste to replace partially or totally some materials such as aggregates. This study evaluated the feasibility of stone dust use, replacing the natural sand in the production of structural concrete. In the initial stage it was carried out physical and chemical characterization of the applied materials and then molded cylindrical specimens with FCK 20, 25 and 30 MPa at 28 days, in compositions at levels of 10% stone powder, 30%, 50%, 100% e 100% with additive. After curing they were subjected to compressive strength tests and mechanical tests showed that the composition with 10% presented promising results.

Abstract The residue generated by industrial activities represents a cost, since the generators are responsible for its management, transportation, treatment and disposal. Rio Grande do Norte State in Brazil is the greatest producer of scheelite residue. The aim of this research was to characterize this mining residue, identify its similarity with natural sand and produce a coating mortar with it. In the composition of mortar, a Brazilian Portland cement type CPII-F32 and an industrialized calcium hydroxide as a binder were used. Laser granulometry, bulk and relative density, EDX, XRD and thermal analysis were done to obtain a physical and chemical characterization of the residue. Mechanical tests (tensile bond strength and compressive strength), SEM and water absorption test were done to analyze the behavior of mortar. All tests confirmed that mechanical properties were according to standards for tile mortar.

Abstract In maize plant breeding aimed at producing a hybrid, it is necessary to characterize the parents and hybrids by their agronomic aspects and grain quality so that the processing industry may offer consumers a quality product and also improve its efficiency. This study evaluated the viscoelastic parameters of masa and the chemical and texture properties of tortillas obtained from parent lines (M-54, M55, and CML-242), two single crosses (M54xM55 and M55xM54), and one hybrid (H-70). The morphology of the maize grains and tortillas was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The firmness of masa obtained from CML-242 and H-70 maize was higher than that from the other maize genotypes. M-54 tortillas showed the lowest crude fiber content. Otherwise, tortillas obtained from the M55xM54 hard grain had the lowest fat content and extensibility, while H-70 tortillas showed an intermediate breaking point and extensibility. M-54 and M54xM55 tortillas were softer due to their more swollen starch granules. In contrast, rigid tortillas were obtained from CML-242 and H-70. Grain hardness causes different morphology in starch and tortilla of maize genotypes. However, grain hardness did not influence the characteristics of texture in tortillas.

In recent years there has been an important increase in the production of grape derivatives such as integral grape juice. Thus, it was intended with the accomplishment of this study to evaluate the composition of the grape juice of the grape cultivars: Bordô, Concord e Isabel in the composition of integral grape juice from the Bento Gonçalves-RS. The samples were evaluated for classical analysis:°Brix, pH, titratable acidity, ratio Brix / titratable acidity made through methods, physics, physical chemistry and chemistry. The mineral elements sodium and potassium analyzed by flame emission and color intensity by colorimetry. For the statistical analysis of the data, the Tukey test was applied at the 5% level of significance. The contents of integral grape juice evaluated, SS, A Tand minerals presented according to the legislation, the pH was within the comparative average with other works. The determination of the color demonstrated the need to make cuts.
