Durability of Bamboo Bio-Concretes Exposed to Natural Aging
In recent years, several studies on the durability of cementitious materials combined with vegetable fibers have been developed. In order to understand the properties of these materials in different environmental conditions, they can be subjected to accelerated aging through several cycles of controlled variations of humidity-temperature, wetting-drying, freezing-thawing. However, analyzes that expose such materials to real conditions of use during their useful life are scarce. As a result, this study analyzed the physical, thermal and mechanical behavior of bamboo bio-concretes produced with different volumes of bio-aggregates, which were exposed to the natural aging of the summer in the city of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). The cementitious binder was is composed, by mass, of cement (30%), metakaolin (30%) and fly ash (40%). The water-to-cement ratio was as 0.30. The mixtures were produced with bamboo volumetric fraction of 30%; 40% and 50%. After 3 months of natural aging during the Brazilian summer (from December to March), the property determined in the hardened state was the compressive strength. In addition, a visual analysis by photograph was also realize. The results revealed that higher the volumetric fraction, higher the decrease of compressive strength. The visual analysis showed several changes of the external aspect of the bio-concretes.
