“…Several studies have been conducted to facilitate the use of this waste material in concrete. In addition, several authors have already confirmed the viability of using the vulcanized rubber fibre into construction materials [13][14][15].…”

This paper presents the influence of temperature on the compressive strength of HSC with silica fume and containing different ratios and sizes of recycled tire rubber. The aims of including elastomeric material in a cementitious matrix are reducing the stiffness of HSC in order to make it compatible with other materials of the building, recycling of solid wastes and improving fire resistance.The inclusion of low mass fraction recycled rubber reduces the high risk of explosive spalling of HSC under high temperature because water vapour can exit through channels where the polymeric material gets burned.Two groups of concrete were employed to carry out this study. The first group consists of four mixes produced with a cement content of 500 kg, 0.3 water-binder ratio, gravel as coarse aggregate and 0%, 10%, 15%, and 20% silica fume (SF) replaced of cement weight. The concrete formulation of the second group (four mixes) was produced with the replacement of cement by 20% SF along with 0%, 3%, 5% recycled fine rubber (2 mm) and 3% coarse rubber (5 mm). Dolomite as a coarse aggregate was used in the second group in order to improve the performance of concrete mixtures containing rubber under high temperature.The results obtained show high resistance to fire with increasing SF content up to 20% replacement of cement. Additional improvement was obtained with using dolomite and 3% of recycled rubber (2 mm, 5 mm). ª 2015 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Housing and Building National Research Center.

“…Extended producer responsibility (EPR), firstly proposed by Lindhqvist in 1992, states that producers should extend their responsibility to the whole product life, not only the production and sale, but also the reclaiming and disposal of the end-of-life product (Lindhqvist, 1992). Many studies conducted their researches of e-waste disposal based on EPR (Milanez and Bührs, 2009;Lin et al, 2002;Fleckinger and Glachant, 2010), and many polices according to e-waste disposal in EU countries were also implemented under the framework of EPR. However, as the biggest developing country, the national condition of China is quite different from the EU countries.…”

“…She has also indicated the coexistence of a robust environmental regulatory system with institutions created to promote economic growth as the underlying reason for scant environmental policies. In another study, Milanez and Bührs (2009) established historical causes for the environmental sector being isolated from decision-making centers at the federal sphere.…”

In this paper, we present an interpretation of the Samarco/Vale/BHP Billiton disaster, which highlights the relations between State, market and civil society and the rearrangement of environmental regulation of the mining industry in Brazil. We discuss the mutually constitutive changes in the roles of the State and of private companies, with emphasis on environmental and social dimensions, revealing the selective A construção do desastre e a "privatização" da regulação mineral: reflexões sobre a tragédia do Vale do Rio Doce, Brasil ResumoEste trabalho apresenta uma interpretação do desastre da Samarco/Vale/BHP Billiton centrada nas relações entre Estado, mercado e sociedade civil e na reconfiguração da regulação ambiental da indústria extrativa mineral no Brasil. Dessa forma, discute as transformações mutuamente constitutivas nos papeis do Estado e das empresas envolvidas, com ênfase nas dimensões ambiental e social, e explicita a exclusão seletiva da sociedade civil no processo. Baseando-se em análise documental e observação direta, são investigadas as formas regulatórias relacionadas ao licenciamento e ao monitoramento ambiental das operações da Samarco, assim como à gestão dos impactos do desastre no Vale do Rio Doce, com o estabelecimento da Fundação Renova. Os resultados sustentam o argumento da combinação entre padrões de regulação fraca e privada (autorregulação), integrando dimensões 'negativa' e 'positiva', que acrescem ao processo de desconstrução institucional formas empresariais de regulação privada e pública politicamente construídas.Palavras-chave: mineração; regulação; relações Estado-mercado; desastre; Samarco.2 Rodrigo Salles Pereira dos Santos ; Bruno Milanez Vibrant v.14 n.2
