Reforço de matrizes cimentícias empregando fibra de bananeira: busca pelo estado da arte

Abstract

In civil construction, the large consumption of natural resources in the production of its materials is a major environmental concern. In order to mitigate environmental impacts, the development of strategies is essential to make the construction industry sustainable. Previous studies point out that the use of natural fibers as a reinforcement in the composition of cementitious matrices is a strategy with great potential for application and has been attracting the attention of professionals, as it is a light and high-generation material as waste in agriculture. The purpose of this review was to make an analysis of the application of the use of banana pseudostem fiber as reinforcement in cementitious matrices, through a systematic review of the literature. In total, 11 articles related to the topic were analyzed. The use of vegetable fibers in the reinforcement of cementitious matrices is not recent, however the literature on the reinforcement of cementitious matrices reinforced with banana fiber is recent scarce.
