Abstract
CANOLA, HERNÁN; ECHAVARRIA, CÉSAR and SANCHEZ, JULIO CÉSAR. RECIPANEL: RECYCLED PAPER PANELS. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2012, vol.79, n.171, pp.132-137. ISSN 0012-7353.
In this paper, the manufacturing and the mechanical behaviour of recycled paper panels are studied. The main goal of this study is to make a prototype panel using recycled paper (newspaper) and white Portland cement. This panel, called Recipanel, must be inexpensive and possess good mechanical properties and commercial dimensions for use in building walls and ceilings. Recipanel is a non-structural panel based on recycled paper and fulfils Colombian regulations for non-structural panels. Recipanel has high mechanical properties.
Keywords : Recipanel; recycled paper; ceiling; wall; sustainable construction.
