Abstract text:
Nowadays, one of the most important problems is the waste produced by all industries, civil engineering, commerce or consumption of products. In the present study, the authors aimed to obtain a new building material based on wood chips waste produced from different industries. The design material properties are influenced by the wood chips’ percentage in relation to the aggregate volume, embedded in cement. Therefore, it was proposed two mix recipes, materials A and B which contain 50 and 25 percentage of wood chips related to the aggregate volume. Tests were performed for bending (flexural tensile) strengths establishing. These mechanical performances are important properties for the design process of masonry products or structures and for proving their applicability.
Key Words:
