Abstract
This paper present a study of the effect of the type of binder on mortars properties reinforced with Doum palm fiber. Two types of binder used for the production of mortars containing Doum palm fiber. Cement is used as a binder for mortar 1 and plaster is used for mortar 2. The mass content of fiber in the test samples was varied from 0.5% to 1.5% with a step of 0.5%. Thermal characteristics of specimens in term of conductivity and diffusivity were studied. Moreover, the flexural and compressive strength of the samples were evaluated. The measurement of the thermal properties of the specimens shows that plaster has the lowest values of thermal conductivity. A report between densities and mechanical properties of these mortars was realized. These results also report that the density of the specimens has an important role in mechanical properties. The more porous is the material present the lower thermal conductivity. For both mortars, the use of Doum palm fiber improves the mortar ductility without affecting the mechanical requirement for construction materials.
