Abstract

AbstractPERFORMANCE OF TWO TYPES OF CEMENT IN PRODUCTION OF CEMENT BONDED WOOD PANELS COMBINED WITH RICE HULLThe objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of two types of cement in the manufacturing of cement bonded wood panels with addition of rice hull. Sealers used were cement V-ARI (CP V) and cement Portland IV, pozzolanic (CP IV). Proportions adopted in the composition of panels were 0, 50 and 100 % rice hulls combined with 100, 50 and 0% of wood particles. Species used in this study were Eucalyptus grandis and Pinus elliottii. Parameters considered to evaluate panels were the mechanical properties. CP IV did not cure with the addition of pine particles in any proportion. The values of modulus of rupture (MOR) were higher with CP IV, but with the addition of rice hulls they decreased. CP V shoved higher internal bond strength in all proportions studied. Addition of rice hulls decreased all the mechanical properties studied in this work, therefore its use in cement bonded wood panels must be controlled, larger quantities than 50% of total vegetal mass weight are not recommended. Using Bison process as a reference, CP IV presented the necessary requirements to be used in cement bonded wood panels.Keywords: Eucalyptus grandis; CP IV; CP V-ARI; agricultural waste. ResumoDesempenho de dois tipos de cimentos na produção de painéis cimento madeira combinados com casca de arroz. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho de dois tipos de cimento na manufatura de painéis cimento madeira com adição de casca de arroz. Os cimentos avaliados foram o cimento Portland V - ARI (CP V) e o cimento Portland IV, pozolânico (CP IV). As proporções usadas na composição dos painéis foram de 0, 50 e 100% de casca de arroz combinadas com 100, 50 e 0% de partículas de madeira, sendo as espécies utilizadas Eucalyptus grandis e Pinus elliottii. Os parâmetros utilizados para avaliar os painéis foram as propriedades mecânicas. O CP IV não foi capaz de curar com a adição das partículas de pinus em nenhuma proporção. Os valores de módulo de ruptura (MOR) foram maiores com o CP IV, porém com adição de casca de arroz estes foram decrescendo. O CP V apresentou maiores valores de ligação interna para todas as proporções estudadas. A adição da casca de arroz diminuiu todas as propriedades estudadas neste trabalho portanto a sua utilização em painéis cimento madeira deve ser controladas e não aconselhadas em quantidades maiores que 50% do peso da massa vegetal utilizada. Usando o processo Bison como referência, o CP IV apresentou os requerimentos necessários para uso como painéis cimento madeira.Palavras-chave: Eucalyptus grandis; CP IV; CP V-ARI; resíduo agrícola.

Highlights

  • Studying and understanding the basic structures used in small and big constructions is essential for optimization and natural evolution of the civil construction methodologies

  • It is clear that Pinus elliottii wood was incompatible with Portland IV cement

  • Among the possible reasons for unsuccessful curing of Portland IV cement with genus Pinus wood, it is possible to cite the work by Latorraca et al (1999), where the greater inhibition effect of genus Pinus compared to genus Eucalyptus was observed

Summary

Introduction

Studying and understanding the basic structures used in small and big constructions is essential for optimization and natural evolution of the civil construction methodologies. Cement bonded wood panels gather desirable properties of both materials (LIPINSKI, 1994), like tensile strength, low density and flexural strength derived from wood particles, together with flame retardant characteristics, resistance to insects and small variation of humidity, deriving from cement. Highlighted their resistance to fire, to fungi and termite attacks and their good acoustic insulation properties (LATORRACA et al, 1999) For these reasons, according to Chapola (1989), cement bonded wood panels have more applications than conventional panels, and this kind of product deserves technological improvements derived from researches. Besides its applications in civil construction, there are indications that this type of panels is widely used for walls, floors and linings (OKINO et al, 2003)
