Use of cement-bonded composites is gaining prominence in construction works across the globe. Typical uses include roofing, cladding, ceiling and tiling of walls and floors. The use of these materials as hollow pipes is yet to be fully explored. There is, also, the challenge of the relatively high cost of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in many developing countries which adds to the overall cost of cement-bonded composite products. This study was conducted, therefore, to develop composite hollow pipes using natural sponge fiber (Acanthanus montanus) as reinforcement at 3% by weight of cement. Lime, derived from welder’s carbide waste, was added as partial replacement for cement at 0 (control), 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% levels respectively. The effects of... |
