The Manufacture of Fiber Cement Blocks Using Chemical and Thermomechanical Pulps and Rice Husk Ash
In this work, We made fiber cement blocks by using the raw materials of Cement, Rice husk ash, Fine aggregate, Fibers of Chemical pulps (CP) and Thermomechanical pulps (TMP). The replacement amount were zero (control), 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25%. In total 36 cement blocks with dimensions of 15 * 15 * 15 cm were made. The properties of blocks which were measured include compressive strength, water absorption, density of before and after soaking. The data Statistically analysed by Spss software. Statistical analysis showed that the type of fibers had significant effect on both mechanical and physical properties at confidence level of 0.05. Based on the findings of this work, The CP fibers had better effects on the compressive strength of specimens than The TMP fibers approximately twofold. Increasing the replacement level of TMP fibers tends to reduce the compressive strength due to the low binding ability. The water absorption and density values of specimens contain fibers were lower than control. The fibers cause lighter weight, resistance to cracking and a degree of flexibility.
