Compósitos cimentícios leves utilizando resíduos industriais e fibras de sisal.

Abstract

It is estimated this work. the production of lightweight construction elements from cement matrix incorporating industrial waste and sisal fíbers as well as adding the capability of these fibers and the use of metakaolin and waste production of clay bricks ground, as partial replacement of Portland cement. The materiais were characterized physically, chemically and mineralogically, and determined the mechanical strength of the composites produced. We used to work against the pulp rheology for coating the array with appropriate content of pozzolanic additions and superplasticizer. We evaluated the resistance of the plate, EVA matrix coating folder found with and without addition of new fibers and the composite formed by the union of these two elements. We used the technique of alignment of fibers with a view to increasing resistance to the new lightweight composite. Tests rheology of the material indicated that the crushed brick was more efficient than the metakaolin to the same levei of replacement and that the percentage of 2.1% of superplasticizer and mixing M 80Ci 10TM 10MC was considered ideal for making matrix resilient and self-compacting, which was not observed in tests of strength, where metakaolin surpassed the results obtained with the addition of crushed brick. The addition of the matrix with aligned fibers increased significantly in tensile strength in bending the new lightweight composite outpertòrming 74.78% of the board of EVA, while 35.98% of the plate coated with EVA matrix without fibers and 4, 23% of the plate coated with EVA matrix added fiber distnbuted randomly.
