Abstract :
[en] The aim of this work is to study the thermal characteristics of a concrete reinforced with cotton waste fiber for building construction. The concrete used was formulated with the Dreux-Gorisse method and has a compressive strength of 14.13 MPa. The fiber-reinforced concrete contains 0.1% to 0.8% of fibers by mass. The thermal properties were determined by the asymmetric hot plane method used with a DesProTherm device. Other properties were also computed. The results show that the density of the concretes decreases with the percentage of fibers, from 2.205 t/m3 for the concrete without fiber to 2.001 t/m3 for the concrete containing 0.8% of fibers. The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity also decrease with the percentage of fibers, they range respectively from 1.021 W/m.K to 0.448 W/m.K and from 5.64 10-7 m2/s to 2.19 10-7 m2/s. As for the thermal capacity, it is almost constant with 0.1% of fibers (1810 to 1800 kJ/m3.K) then increases progressively up to 2046 kJ/m3.K for 0.8% of fiber. These results show that the incorporation of fibres improves the thermal characteristics of concrete. The use of this material would provide better thermal conditions inside the buildings, and consequently the reduction of energy consumption.
