Plaster reinforcement with fibers obtained from the recycle of construction and demolition waste

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to study the feasibility of recycling fibres from construction and demolition waste (C and DW) as an alternative material to chopped glass fibres which are used today as reinforcing elements in the prefabricated plaster. To do this, sets of samples are made with rockwool and different percentages of combinations between water/plaster. These series are repeated by changing the additive E glass fibre length of 25 mm to make a comparative analysis with respect to the series infused with rockwool.
