Mortar Mixed with Flax Stalk Fiber and its Economic Analysis

Abstract:

The article mainly develops and analyzes the technical and economic indicators of mortar mixed with flax stalk fiber and the material used for producing mortar mixed with flax stalk fiber. The length-fineness ratio and the proportion of flax stalk fiber in mortar have been determined by experiments. Additionally, this article also analyzes various economic indicators of mortar mixed with flax stalk fiber. Proper mixture of flax stalk fiber with mortar can improve and enhance thermal insulation performance of buildings and the crack resistance capability of plaster layers. The result shows that this method can lower the weight of plastering by 42.46 per cent and reduce the cost of plastering by 33.36 per cent. This new material has shown its superior energy saving and environmental friendly features. Therefore, the material has a broad practical potential in constructions.
