Durability of Bio-based Concretes

Marceau, Sandrine / Delannoy, Guillaume

Abstract Used for several decades for building insulation, concretes containing plant aggregates have thermal, acoustic and hygrothermal properties that greatly improve the comfort of homes (Amziane and Arnaud 2013). Nevertheless, during their life time, they are submitted to a hydrothermal environment (humidity and temperature variations) that can change these functional properties and/or induce the development of microorganisms on their surface. The objective of this chapter is to present the state of the art on the evolution of the properties of these vegetal concretes after different types of aging in laboratory.
