NEGRIN-HERNANDEZ, Luis Iván et al. Mechanical characterization of a composite of gypsum matrix reinforced with sugarcane fibers. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.2, pp.79-84.  Epub Aug 01, 2019. ISSN 1815-5944.

Presently work was carried out the mechanical characterization of a composite of gypsum matrix reinforced with three different mass concentrations of sugarcane fibers (1 %, 2 % and 3 %), with the objective of their possible use in the production of construction elements. The analysis was made by compression and flexural strength tests. Also, through a correlation with the flexural test, it was calculated the tensile properties. With the results of the tests, it was possible to say that there is an influence of the concentration of sugarcane fibers in improving the mechanical properties of the product. The samples reinforced with 2 % of fibers had the best values for flexural, tensile and compression strength. Finally the comparison of the results obtained with some reports of the literature is carried out, and it is verified that the same ones have values approached in the resistance to the flexural and compression strength.
