Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article presents the results of research concerning lightweight composites produced on the basis of lime, cement, and clay binders, with the addition of perlite, hemp shives, and flax straw. Tests of physical and mechanical properties of composites were performed and their basic characteristics were determined, i.e. absorptivity, density, thermal conductivity coefficient, and compressive and flexural strength. The study was conducted to determine the use of hemp and flax composites to fill the frames of a wooden house. The results prove that the composites have low thermal conductivity, apparent density, and low strength properties compared with conventional building materials.
