C. Physical and
a Mechanicaal Tests
The eight specimens by foormulation weere subjected to nondeestructive phhysical tests for determ
mination of water
abbsorption (WA
A), bulk densitty (BD) and apparent
a
void volume
v
(A
AVV) accordinng to ASTM C-948-81
C
[16]].
Mechanical tests were peerformed in the
t universal testing
m
machine
Emic DL-30000 eqquipped with 1 kN load celll. Fourpooint bending configurationn was employed to evaluuate the
m
modulus
of ruppture (MOR)), limit of prooportionality (LOP),
m
modulus
of elaasticity (MOE
E) and specificc energy (SE)) of the
eiight specimenss by formulatiion, accordingg to (1)-(4).
The SE wass defined as the work carrried out durring the
beending test annd divided by the specimen cross-sectionnal area.
Thhe work was calculated byy integration of
o the area bellow the
looad-deflection curve to the point
p
correspoonding to a reduction
inn the load carrrying capacityy to 90% of th
he maximum reached
r
(44). A displaceement rate off 1.5 mm/minn was adoptedd in the
beending test and the deeflection wass collected by
b the
deeflectometer positioned
p
in the middle sppan, in the doownside
off the specimenn. Pads were cut wet into four specimenns with
thhickness of 5 mm, width of
o 40 mm andd length of 160 mm
ussing water coooled diamond saw.

IV. CONCLUSIONS
The physical and mechanical results demonstrated that
accelerated carbonation is effective to improve the properties
of the hybrid fibercement reinforced with fibers in micro and
nanoscale and in composites reinforced with only pulp. The
use of the NC to produce hybrid composites has not affected
negatively the physical and mechanical performance of the
composites subjected to carbonation.
