The aim of this study was to construct lightweight structures and reduce energy loss. The aim of this study was to produce cement wood or composite products by combining organic particles such as wood fibers and lignocellulosic materials with monolith. The investigated product consisted of cement wood made from scrap wood fibers and poplar wood particle thickness of 20 mm on both sides of the structure and 10 mm thick unolith in the middle of the structure. Products manufactured by Unolite Cement will have a combination of cement and Unolite properties. In this study, according to the studied variables including lignocellulosic materials and amount of additive (such as calcium chloride (Cacl) at two levels of 3 and 5%, the best specimens were prepared using 10% lignocellulosic materials. The thickness of the specimens was uniform at the two monolithic surfaces and all fabrication conditions such as discharge rate, press pressure, coalescence rate were assumed to be uniform and constant.In static bending experiment the mean maximum load force for ordinary brick failure was 3933.26N and the mean. The maximum load for breaking the cement stick was 389/78 N, which was approximately It has 10% resistance to ordinary brick but ordinary brick breaks abruptly when fractured, while the monolithic brick is gradually broken and the insulation properties due to the cellulosic fibers and the monolith in it are higher than the ordinary brick due to its low resistance to use. Recommended in partitions.

In this study, the composition of bagasse composite was investigated using different amounts of bagasse particles. Bagasse and cement particles are manufactured at levels (5, 10 and 15%) and percentage of calcium chloride as cement accelerating additive at two levels (3 and 2%) based on cement dry weight. Then, the mixture was poured into a mold measuring 15 8 18 8 8 cm and the excess water was removed from the bottom of the mold and initially weighed 10 kg on the specimens. The specimens were removed from the mold after 48 hours and kept in a glass saturated room at 90% humidity for 14 days and then finally dried in a laboratory environment. The bending strength and physical properties tests were performed on the specimens. The results showed that bagasse particles had a significant effect on bending strength and other physical properties. The bending strength was highest in boards made with 10% bagasse particles.

In this study, the reinforcing effect of recycled newsprint paper (RNP) in cement boards has been investigated. The experiment was designed to apply two variable factors, RNP and calcium chloride (CaCl2). Cement-fiber boards with the density of 0.7 kg/m3 were manufactured using fiber/cement ratios of 10:90, 15:85, 20:80 and 25:75 (w/w) and 3% and 5% CaCl2 as accelerator. Minimum four boards (replications) were fabricated for each combination of variables, and the mechanical and physical properties of the boards were evaluated. The statistical analysis showed that the effect of the RNP and CaCl2 contents on modulus of rupture of cement fiber boards were significant at 1% significant level. The results showed that addition of CaCl2 enhanced the mechanical properties of the boards. All properties of the boards were improved as the CaCl2 content was increased from 3% to 5%. The modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity of the boards decreased with addition of RNP, and the maximum values were obtained at RNP loading of 10%. The results also showed that as the fiber content was increased, significant increase in water absorption and thickness swelling occurred. Increasing RNP fiber content from 10% to 25% reduced both the mechanical and physical properties considerably. The optimum condition was obtained when the RNP and CaCl2 contents were 10% and 5%, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the potential of waste newspaper application in cement fiber board production. Cement fiber board were produced using three levels of waste paper fibers and two levels of calcium chloride as additive material. After making the boards, the Modulus of Rupture (MOR) and thickness swelling after 24 hours immersion in water were determined based on DIN 68763. The results showed that boards made with cement:fiber ratio 90:10 and 5% calcium chloride exhibited the maximum modulus of rupture and minimum of thickness swelling (TS) after 24 hours. The results also showed that additive material had positive effect on physical and mechanical properties of boards.
