| Abstract |
This report summarizes work to develop building materials containing inorganic and organic wastes and wastes-derived products. Attempts were made to produce full-scale products and qualify them for structural applications. Particle board panels were made of peanut hulls and wood waste on production-type equipment. Particle boards of peanut hulls have mechanical properties that are slightly less desirable than those of commercially available boards, and the economics are marginal. However, particle board panels of wood waste can be competitive with commercial products. Two hour, fire-rated structural walls made from inorganic rice hull foam could also be viable, as could floors, roofs, ceilings, and the 90-minute, fire-rated door with a rice-hull foam core and a wood-waste frame. These tests completed generation of the data required for building code approval. |
