Influencia de los tratamientos : alcalino, hornificación y látex con humo de sílice en la conductividad térmica de los morteros reforzados con fibras de abacá.

Abstract

In this work it is intended to analyze the thermal behavior of mortar reinforced with abaca fiber with the different treatments proposed that are: fiber treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH 3%), treated by applying rubber with silica smoke, and passing a process called baking. The three types of mortar will be benchmarked and additionally with a conventional mortar to determine the best behavior among the three types of mortars mentioned; for which a sample of each type of mortar was made where the thermal conductivity test was applied at twenty-eight days and additionally density and flow tests were carried out respectively of each type of mortar. Each treatment carried out to the abaca fiber and the sample-making process will be presented step by step. Thermal conductivity analysis will focus on simple mortar versus abaca fiber-reinforced mortar previously treated with sodium hydroxide because this treatment has better behavior in thermogravimetric analysis.
