Abstract

The compatibility of seven low cost lignocellulosic materials with cement was examined by monitoring hydration parameters of temperature and time required to reach maximum temperature. Out of these saw dust of Eucalyptus tereticornis was found to be highly compatible, whereas whole woods of Eucalyptus tereticornis and Populus deltoides as well as saw dust of Populus deltoides and pruned material of Malus domestica was found to be moderately compatible. Pinus roxburghii (needles) and Parthenium hysterophorus were found non-compatible.
