Thermal properties of a raw earth-flax fibers building material

Résumé

The aim of this paper is to investigate the thermal behavior of composite building materials comprised of silt and flax fibers, considering various initial conditions. The experiments were conducted on flax fibers alone, examining factors such as moisture content variation, fibers arrangement, and density. Subsequently, the thermal properties of the earth-flax fiber composite were studied, taking into account the influence of water content and fibers mass content. The thermal properties of both flax fibers and raw earth-flax fibers composite specimens were determined using the experimental unsteady-state method. The results indicate that the thermal conductivity and heat capacity of flax fibers increase with density, temperature, and moisture content. Regardless of fibers density and arrangement of fibers, linear relationships have been established for both thermal conductivity and heat capacity as functions of temperature. Additionally, it was demonstrated that the heat capacity and the thermal conductivity increase with water content, regardless of the percentage of added fibers. Moreover, mixing randomly flax fibers with compacted raw earth material has improved the thermal properties of the composite. This improvement pertains to its insulating capacity, ability to store heat, and, subsequently, its contribution to the thermal comfort provided by such earth composite material when used as a building material.
