Material de matriz cementicio, reforzado con fibras de bambú

Abstract

Abstract: This research presents a new material, the current population exploits the resources natural to create building materials. A cementitious material is developed reinforced with bamboo fibers. The objective of this research is to determine the characteristics, orientation and treatment of the fibers. The results of the reinforced material with 0.5% fibers to the composite it does not allow the detachment of the material when tested impact, while samples with unidirectional fiber distribution obtain optimal physical characteristics, samples with mesh-shaped fiber distribution present less chemical degradation than samples with fiber distribution unidirectional and random, also the samples with addition of natural fibers and distribution In random form, it has higher thermal transmission than samples with the addition of fibers. random paraffin treated; samples with addition of natural fibers and distribution random samples present higher acoustic insulation values ​​than the samples with the addition of random fibers treated with paraffin and samples with addition of natural fibers in addition treated with paraffin and random distribution present similar characteristics of Fire resistance.
