Studying the Compressed Mechanical Characteristics of a Novel Carbon-Free Plaster Using ANSYS Software

Abstract

Eco-friendly plasters offer several advantages, including sustainability, nontoxicity, and low cost. These plasters are made with sustainable materials, such as natural fibers and starches. These materials can have different mechanical properties compared to traditional plasters, which are made with gypsum and cement. Due to the increased attention being paid to environmental issues, efforts are still being made to switch out the conventional plaster of gypsum and cement for an eco-friendlier alternative to minimize toxicity, increase effectiveness, and lower cost. In this study, the effect of novel plaster behavior under pressure on mechanical properties was investigated. The plaster investigated was an eco-friendly carbon-free BSCO plaster. A range of experimental techniques were used, such as compression testing for confirmation using ANSYS 2023 R1 software, which set ergonomic and user-friendly standards as a minimum requirement, with the overarching goal of creating stronger, lighter, and more reasonably priced structures. The results showed that eco-friendly Bilateral Specialized Company (BSCO) plasters could have comparable mechanical properties to traditional plasters. Additionally, it is suggested that eco-friendly and carbon-free plasters can be a viable alternative to traditional plasters in a variety of applications. Researchers and civil engineers can both gain from this scientific paper’s potential to replace conventional stucco with an ecologically friendly alternative that has more effective mechanical qualities.

Analysis and Reflection on the Green, Low-Carbon, and Energy-Saving Design of the Super High-Rise Building

“…There are three main operating conditions: static wind state, wind pressure of 60 kN/m², and wind pressure of 120 kN/m². The parameters of interest include deformation, strain, stress, and support axial force, and for the critical radial supports, the distribution of bending moments along the axis is also provided [48,49].…”

“…The maximum stress appears at the inner fixed end of the radial support, measuring 69 MPa, which is below the yield stress of the structural steel, indicating that the structural form is safe. the critical radial supports, the distribution of bending moments along the axis is also provided [48,49].…”

“…Meanwhile, the support sys tem's deformation on the windward side (influenced by positive wind pressure) is lower reaching a maximum of 2.09 cm. The stress situation remains, with the maximum stress rameters of interest include deformation, strain, stress, and support axial force, and for the critical radial supports, the distribution of bending moments along the axis is also provided [48,49].…”
