THERMOPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF CONCRETE REINFORCED WITH BAOBAB TRUNK FIBERS (ADANSONIA DIGITATA L.) FOR THERMAL INSULATION OF BUILDINGS

Thermophysical characterization of concrete reinforced with baobab trunk fibers (Adansonia digitata L.) for thermal insulation of buildings

This work deals with characterizing concrete based on baobab trunk fibers for Ashwagandha thermal in- sulation in buildings.The aim is to study the effect of the fiber content and the type of fiber treatment on the hygroscopic and thermo-physical properties of the concrete.Therefore, two types of treatment were carried out: an alkaline treatment an
