Arbolite concrete, also known as lightweight concrete with wood particles, stands out for its excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties, attributed to its low density and porous structure, surpassing conventional concrete in these aspects. However, its lower mechanical resistance limits its application in highly demanding structures, being more suitable for non-structural elements, such as sealing panels and internal partitions. The performance of arbolite is influenced by several factors, including the quality and treatment of the wood particles, the type of binder used, the water/cement ratio, the density of the material and the curing process. Despite these limitations, arbolite is an ideal option for sustainable constructions that prioritize thermal and acoustic comfort. It can be used in low-load structures, with adequate reinforcements, or in structural applications, as long as the minimum mechanical resistance requirements are met.
