Estudio experimental de resistencia al fuego de paneles compuestos de yeso y fibras de bambú pre calcinado

Abstract

Abstract: The present research is based on a documentary analysis of the characterization of gypsum materials, bamboo fibers, and pre-calcination treatments; and an experimental phase that was addressed through the proposal of composite panel prototypes and pre-calcination treatment. A low-tech experimental process was proposed, following patterns of research and prototypes already carried out, allowing the result of a series of panels with fire-resistant qualities, improvement in mass loss, and prevention of deflection. The materials employed were gypsum and bamboo fibers pre-calcined at different times, which obtained a favorable response according to analyses applied with different tools and considering the respective technical standards referring to the material. The result of the research proposes gypsum panels with bamboo fiber pre-calcined at 35 minutes, with promising results, reducing mass loss, preventing heat transfer, and improving the panel's ductility.
