Abstract

A new approach is presented in terms of the analysis of wood-cement (WC) compatibility, which is based on a similarity coefficient (CS) that reflects the degree of resemblance between the curves of the “WC hydration temperature vs. time (24 h)” based on 15 g WC mixture and that of neat cement (C). This approach classifies clearly the compatibilities of different wood species on a scale of 0–100%, on which the most incompatible species have CS-values <5% and the upper compatibility class CS data around 95%, which is close to that of C, and which cannot be exceeded. The CS-value is well suited for modelling the inhibitory behaviour of all woods. In the discussion, the CS-approach is compared with other inhibitory indices proposed in the literature.

Acknowledgments

This project was conducted within the framework of a cooperative research agreement between the Faculty of Sciences of Rabat, Laboratory of Wood Sciences and the National Forestry School of Engineers of Salé. The samples used in this study were collected in collaboration with the external services of the High Commissariat for Water and Forests of Morocco.
