Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of manufacturing typha-based materials with a lime-based binder. For this purpose, three types of lime with different compositions were tested to produce lime-based typha concretes. The mechanical performance (compressive strength and apparent modulus of elasticity) of the materials developed was evaluated as a function of binder content and binder type. Two types of formulations were studied: one with a binder/aggregate ratio of 3, called F3, and the other with a binder/aggregate ratio of 2, called F2. Water absorption kinetics and typha particle size analysis were also studied. The dry density, compressive strength and apparent modulus of elasticity of typha concretes were determined. The results showed a reduction of mechanical performance as the binder/aggregate ratio decreased. The density of typha concretes range from 520 kg/m3to 396 kg/m3. The best mechanical performances were obtained with Thermo Tradical and Earasy binders. When the binder/aggregate ratio was reduced from 3 to 2, stress at 10% strain ranged from 0.6 MPa to 012 MPa and apparent modulus of elasticity from 31.5 MPa to 3.57 MPa. This study showed that binder composition has a significant impact on the mechanical performance of plant-based concretes.
