Abstract
The Alto Paranaiba and Triângulo Mineiro mesoregion in the state of Minas Gerais and the State of São Paulo have a number of industries with eucalyptus chip fired boilers that produce great amounts of ash. Since thermoelectric ashes generally have good pozzolanic activity, this paper studied the mechanical behavior of cementitious composites made with raw eucalyptus chip ash as a partial replacement for Portland cement and processed under two different conditions. The mechanical behavior of the composites was measured from tests on specimens for their compressive strength, tensile strength to diametral stress and to bending. Results show ashes could be used as mineral additives.
