Abstract Six printing mixtures with variations in cement:sand ratios (in mass) were analyzed, keeping the water/dry material ratio constant, evaluating their printability, considering visual aspects, pumpability and filament integrity. The mixtures were subjected to mini-slump tests, spread on a consistency table, squeeze-flow, and deformation under load of the printed filaments at printing intervals of 0 min, 15 min and 30 min, and then the proportions of the compatible mixtures were determined. with the print. The properties in the hardened state, resistance to bending and compression, adhesion between layers, specific mass and voids index were determined for specimens extracted from printed parts. It was possible to observe that for the printing system used there is an ideal range for these constitutive relationships, and that the mixtures, even with different viscosities, measured according to the squeeze flow, can be printable, provided they meet the ideal ranges for the determined relationships. Regarding the interface of the printed layers, these are critical points of fragility, due to factors such as the formation of regions with voids and loss of surface moisture, which favors the reduction of the mechanical performance of the parts, with the increase in the deposition time. cementsand cement sand analyzed waterdry water dry constant printability aspects integrity minislump mini slump tests table squeezeflow, squeezeflow flow squeeze-flow 1 3 print state compression layers parts relationships viscosities printable fragility moisture time

Este trabalho apresenta os resultados experimentais de um estudo em que se procurou desenvolver compósitos de matriz cimentícia reforçada com polpa de bambu. Foram usados dois tipos de polpa: refinada e sem refino. Fez-se variar o teor de fibras de 0 a 16% em massa de cimento e se desenvolveu um processo com sucção, moldagem e prensagem para fabricação dos compósitos. As relações constitutivas dos compósitos foram definidas através de ensaio a compressão e tração de corpos-de-prova cilíndricos de 5x10 cm e do ensaio de flexão em três pontos. A partir delas, foi obtida a capacidade de absorção de energia. Determinaram-se, também, algumas propriedades físicas, como absorção, porosidade aparente, densidade seca e úmida dos compósitos. Os resultados mostraram melhor performance dos compósitos com fibras refinadas em relação àquelas com fibras sem refino e também indicaram que o teor ótimo de fibras refinadas se situou em torno de 8%, quando promoveram notáveis melhoramentos das propriedades mecânicas dos compósitos em relação à matriz plena.

This work presents the experimental results of a study which intended to develop a composite with cementations matrix reinforced with bamboo pulp. Two types of pulps were used: refined and unrefined pulps. The fibre content varied between 0 and 16% cement (weight basis). After the preparation of fresh composite mix the experimental specimens were prepared applying a specially developed process based on Hastshek method using suction then moulding and pressing. The compression, tension and the flexural behavior and their constitutive relations were established using 5 cm diameter by 10 cm high cylindrical specimens and three point bending tests at respectively. The energy absorbing capacity of the new composites was also established. Physical properties such as water absorption, apparent porosity, dry and humid density were also obtained. The results showed a better performance of composites with refined fibres when compared to those with unrefined ones. It was observed that the optimum fibre content was approximately 8% of refined fibre which improved the mechanical properties of the composites.

Este é o segundo dos dois artigos relativos aos resultados experimentais da combinação de matriz cimentícia reforçada com polpa celulósica de bambu. Neste trabalho, são mostrados os resultados da investigação da substituição parcial do cimento por resíduo de fábrica de blocos cerâmicos. O cimento foi substituído em percentagens de 20, 30 e 40% em relação à massa de cimento. Essas combinações foram reforçadas com polpa de bambu refinada. Os procedimentos e programas experimentais foram os mesmos adotados no artigo anterior (Parte 1). Considerando-se os resultados dos ensaios de obtenção das propriedades mecânicas, a substituição de 20% foi a que apresentou melhor performance.

This paper is the second part of a series of two articles concerning the experimental results of newly developed composite with cementations matrix reinforced with bamboo pulp. In this part the results of the investigations concerning the partial substitution of Portland cement by grinded residues from a brick factory are presented. The cement was partially replaced in percentages of 20, 30 and 40% by weight. These composites were reinforced with only refined bamboo pulp. The same procedures described in Part I were adopted and used in the experimental program. Considering the results of the mechanical properties it is verified that 20% of cement replacement presented the best results.
