Compósitos à base de cimento reforçado com polpa celulósica de bambu. Parte II: Uso de resíduos cerâmicos na matriz

This paper is the second part of a series of two articles concerning the experimental results of newly developed composite with cementations matrix reinforced with bamboo pulp. In this part the results of the investigations concerning the partial substitution of Portland cement by grinded residues from a brick factory are presented. The cement was partially replaced in percentages of 20, 30 and 40% by weight. These composites were reinforced with only refined bamboo pulp. The same procedures described in Part I were adopted and used in the experimental program. Considering the results of the mechanical properties it is verified that 20% of cement replacement presented the best results.
