Natural Durability and Performance of Hornbeam Cement Bonded Particleboard
نویسنده
چکیده
Cement bonded particleboards were manufactured from hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) wood particles. Hydration tests were carried out to determine the inhibitory index in order to characterise wood-cement compatibility. The results revealed that the mixture of hornbeam -cement can be classifi ed as moderate inhibition. Two wood: cement ratios were applied in this study, namely 1:3 and 1:4, for the board manufacture. It was found that an increase of cement-wood ratio resulted to an increase in all, but MOR values. All properties of the boards made from 1:4 wood: cement ratio, surpassed the minimum requirements set forth by the building type HZ code. Boards were exposed to brown and white rot fungi, Coniophora puteana, Trametes versicolor respectively. Overall, both fungi failed to attack the cement-bonded boards.

Mechanical properties and dimensional stability of cement bonded particleboard from rice husk and sawdust
This study was conducted to evaluate the properties of cement bonded particleboard made from rice husk and sawdust. Sawdust and rice husk fine boards were made using two ratios of cement and particles of 70:30 and 80:20, but rice husk coarse was made with a ratio of cement and particle of 80:20. The density of sawdust and rice husk fine boards in a ratio of cement and particles of 70:30 was 960...

The cost associated with the application of large volume of cement and synthetic admixtures was one of the major drawbacks of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC), which can be reduced by the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). When the demand of cement reduces, the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from cement industries will come down, which has a positive impact on global w...

متن کاملSelected properties of particleboard panels manufactured from rice straws of different geometries.
The objective is to evaluate the primary mechanical and physical properties of particleboard made from hammer-milled rice straw particles of six different categories and two types of resins. The results show the performance of straw particleboards is highly dependent upon the straw particle size controlled by the opening size of the perforated plate inside the hammer-mill. The static bending an...
