Abstract:
This research was conducted to study the effect of the pressure levels
(0.05, 0.07 and 0.10 kg/cm2) and cement replacement by commercial lime
(0, 10, 20, 30 and 40%) on wood-cement mixture. The wood was extracted
for 7 days and calcium chloride was added at 2% based on binder (s)
weight. Each combination of the above treatment was replicated four
times giving a total of 60 specimens blocks. The specimens were
manufactured and its properties were determined. Increasing pressure
from low to medium level, resulted in increasing the compressive
strength and density when replacing 10, 20 and 30% lime; while the
increasing from medium to high level increased the hardness and basic
density.
