| Summary: | The green construction material and technique are the current issue toward
improving sustainability in the construction industry in Malaysia. The use of construction
material that produced from renewable resources is a part of the effort for greening this
industry. WWCP (Wood-wool cement panel) is a wood based product available to the
construction industry to be used as a structural building wall element. This renewable material
has the potential to replace the less eco-friendly materials such as bricks and other masonry
element. However, the behaviour of wall subjected to the different load conditions is not well
established and therefore, this study aimed to investigate the structural behaviour of the small
scale wall (wallettes) subjected to in-plane lateral load. As a comparison, two types of
fabrication technique of wallettes with dimension of 1200 mm x 1200 mm (± 30 mm) were
considered. The conventional vertical stacking technique was denoted as W1 and new propose
techniques (cross laminated) was denoted as W2. Three replicates of each type were fabricated
and tested under in-plane lateral load until failure. The test results revealed that, the wallettes
fabricated using the new fabrication technique significantly increased two times in load
carrying capacity compared to wallettes with conventional technique. |
