STUDY OF THE APPLICABLE LOW-COST PREVIOUS TREATMENTS TO THE VEGETABLE FIBERS FOR THEIR INCORPORATION IN THE PORTLAND CEMENT MORTARS

摘要

In the products to cement base reinforced with vegetable fiber are produced interactions of chemical type that prejudice the behavior bonding of the two materials. With respect to the cement matrix, the dissolution of glucose contents in the fibers, included the hemicelluloses demoted by the alkalinity of the cement, provokes arrears in the hydration of the cement that are translated in reductions of the final resistance of the product. The objective of this study has been determined that low-cost previous treatments minimize this process and generate better resistant results.
