Desarrollo de un mortero de matriz cementicia, reforzado con papel reciclado y tratamiento ignífugo

Abstract

Abstract: Pollution negatively affects different ecosystems worldwide, seeking To collaborate with its protection, the construction area seeks to produce friendly materials with the environment, for example, by using recycled products as a complement to materials of construction. For this research, cellulose fiber from paper sacks was used. recycled cement, replacing 5% of the weight of sand, thus reducing the CO2 generated by their burning, as they have no use after emptying their contents; without However, the paper fiber presents empty spaces, allowing the mortar to be rapidly flammable and as a solution, a series of laboratory experiments were carried out, adding paper cellulose to the base mortar, with boric acid percentages of 8%, 12% and 16%. Flexion, traction, compression, and water absorption tests were carried out. capillarity and immersion, porosity, density, thermal, acoustic and fire resistance. HE was able to verify that the most optimal percentage of boric acid to be used is 12%, due to to the physical and mechanical results obtained.
