ABSTRACT
This research investigated the behaviour
of walls produced from wood wool cement board (WWCB)
which were reinforced with a lesser known commercial timber, Kelempayan,
when subjected to compression load. Kelempayan timbers were shredded
into wood wool and used as reinforcement agent in this study.
WWCB having
dimensions of 600 × 2400 × 50 mm and 600 × 2400
× 75 mm, respectively, were fabricated. Properties
of the WWCB samples,
namely swelling, bending and compression strength were tested.
75 mm WWCB
has higher fracture toughness but lower strength
compared to 50 mm WWCB. Four types of wall systems with different type of
configuration were produced and the test results were compared
focusing on their value of ultimate load and failure mode. Walls
that constructed without application of link and plaster displayed
the poorest performance. Plastered and linked wall had the highest
ultimate load and comparable with other load bearing walls. The
results suggested that walls constructed using WWCB reinforced
with Kelempayan wood wool are suitable for load bearing as they
exhibited comparable properties when compared to the other load
bearing walls such as masonry and straw bale wall.

ABSTRAK
Penyelidikan ini mengkaji kelakuan dinding yang dihasilkan daripada
papan simen tatal kayu (WWCB) yang diperkuat dengan kayu
komersial yang kurang dikenali, iaitu kayu Kelempayan, apabila
dikenakan daya kompresi. Kayu Kelempayan dipotong menjadi tatal
kayu dan digunakan sebagai agen pengukuhan dalam kajian ini. WWCB yang berdimensi 600 × 2400 × 50 mm dan 600 × 2400
× 75 mm telah dihasilkan. Ciri seperti perubahan dimensi,
kekuatan lenturan dan mampatan WWCB telah diuji. 75 mm WWCB
mempunyai ketangguhan retak yang lebih tinggi tetapi
kekuatan yang lebih rendah berbanding dengan 50 mm WWCB.
Empat jenis sistem dinding dengan konfigurasi yang berbeza telah
dihasilkan dan keputusan ujian dibandingkan dengan penilaian nilai
beban muktamad dan mod kegagalan. Dinding yang dibina tanpa penggunaan
pautan dan plaster mempamerkan prestasi terendah. Dinding yang
mempunyai pautan dan plaster mempunyai beban muktamad tertinggi.
Berdasarkan keputusan yang didapati, ia menunjukkan bahawa dinding
yang dibina menggunakan WWCB yang diperkuatkan dengan
tatal kayu Kelempayan adalah sesuai untuk penanggulan beban kerana
ia mempamerkan sifat yang setanding berbanding dengan dinding
penanggulan beban yang lain seperti tembok batu dan dinding jerami.
