Experimental Testing of Cellular Construction Materials Containing Flax Particles

The feasibility of a sustainable non-autoclaved cellular concrete, based on flax vegetable co-products, for the production usable specimen in lightweight construction field, has been investigated experimentally. produced specimen, containing various volume ratios particles with respect to preformulatd Tradical PF70 lime binder 0, 1, and 2, were lightened by creating porous structure matrix through addition 0.3% wt. Aluminium powder (able react calcium hydroxide from result microscopic air-bubbles). Fresh hardened properties, including hydration, fresh density, porosity, compressive flexural strengths, toughness energy, dry thermal conductivity at different temperatures, assessed varying flax-to-binder ratios. Results have shown that Aluminum leads restrain setting time delay binder-based lime. Moreover, material displays significant decrease thereby resulting strength level compatible required materials sector. also highlighted ability added induce change brittle ductile behavior. high degree insulation can be achieved, which makes particle suitable as insulated-bearing walls material.
