Abstract The use of natural lignocellulosic fibers (NLFs) as a reinforcement mechanism for cementitious composites, such
as mortar, has been investigated in the last decades. However, their application has often been restricted to technological evaluation research. A NLF with great potential the curaua, which after treatment with NaOH solution,
proved to be technologically feasible for mortars reinforcement based on cement and lime. The objective of this
research was the comparative evaluation between a traditional mortar, based on cement and lime, with
1:1:6:0.8 ratio of cement: lime: sand: water, and a modified mortar with addition of 2… More >
