Experimental Research on the Mechanic Performance of the Cavity Wall Material

Abstract:

As a new high strength and environmental protection material, the cavity wall material has attracted increasing attention. It is made from paper with alveolus triangle inside. It has two talent rights in China, which one is “A kind of Composite Paper Technique with High Strength”; another is “A Kind of Cavity Composite Material with Alveolus Triangle inside”. As the infilling-wall of the steel frame building, the cavity composite masonry is made of the cavity material as the core wall and between two sides of fine aggregate concrete with wire-meshes, which can increase the bearing capacity and stiffness of the steel frame, and improve ductility and earthquake resistant behavior. In this paper, the mechanic performance of the cavity wall material is tested. Test result show that the cavity wall material has many good performance including lightweight, high-strength, heat insulation and sound insulation, and is a kind of good infilling wall material of the steel frame building. Therefore, the cavity wall material has a good prospect of application and extension.
