Ecological mortar/concrete for construction of anti-brittle fracture masonry contains material with high deformation capacity obtained by incorporation of cork that provides ductility to building elements

Abstract

The ecological mortar/concrete contains material with high deformation capacity obtained by the incorporation of cork that provides ductility to building elements. The material has predetermined rigidity, deformability and ductility. The mortar/concrete also contains conglomerate of natural aerial lime and/or hydraulic lime and/or natural stone cement. The material is also incorporated with fiber that enhances voltage deformation behavior of material. USE - Ecological mortar/concrete for construction of anti-brittle fracture masonry such as brick factory and/or stone rubblework. ADVANTAGE - Provides ecological mortar/concrete having high deformation quality by the incorporation of cork which ensures that building elements do not experience brittle fracture but rather novel ductility. Reduces rigidity of the material while increasing its deformability and ductility when used in constructions built with brick or stone masonry subjected to weight or dynamic actions such as earthquakes, impacts, explosions and vibrations.
