ABSTRACT
The interest of this present study consists in drawing attention to the production of fibre cement composites in a semi-industrial level with the utilization of local raw-materials and of the vegetable fibres available in the market and answering to a fixed standard of quality. The use of vegetable fibres in portland cement mortars should be subject to a technological control not only of the composites produced but also of the fibre, so as the physical and mechanical characteristics must be, as much as possible, constant for the resulting composite.
