Original Abstract

Application of cellulose fibers in cement composites is one of the possibilities for achieving better utility properties of these composites. This article presents findings of experimental works concerned on increasing the resistance of cement composites to high temperatures. Properties of cement composites with the addition of cellulose fibers Greencel were observed. Rheological properties of fresh composite, mechanical properties and changes of properties after heat load were evaluated. The best mechanical properties showed the samples with technical cellulose, namely with the fiber G-55T and G-700T. The process of cellulose fiber degradation at high temperatures was documented. The process of carbonization of cellulose fibers leads to the creation of pore system, which enables to increase the resistance of cement composites to high temperatures.

Keywords

Cellulose fibre, polypropylene fibre, high temperature, cement, compression strength, tensile strength, temperature resistance, concrete.
