Wood concrete is a relatively new material that is part of the current trend towards the use of bio-sourced materials in construction. This composite, made from a mixture of cement, wood chips and water, appears to have some interesting properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this work, the main objective is to study the relevance of using a wood concrete formwork block for a building wall, by analysing its thermal, mechanical and ecological properties, in order to judge whether it can constitute an alternative to conventional concrete blocks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This study begins with a review of existing blocks to better understand the role of wood concrete blocks. A long series of laboratory tests was then carried out on wooden concrete blocks supplied by Prefer. The following findings emerged from these experiments: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, the wooden concrete formwork block appears to be a promising alternative to the traditional block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
