| Sumario: | This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of cardboard as a long-term structural material in architecture. Recent experiments with cardboard in architecture are based on assemble of structural elements with existing cardboard products, which are afterwards put to load tests. Obtained results are usually in lack of coherence, making difficult to have precise prediction of structural behavior on a long-term basis. On the other hand, information that comes from packaging industry does not respond to architectural needs of material, so architects face difficulties toward closer understanding of mechanical properties of cardboard. The approach in this study goes from inside to outside, trying to understand the properties of the smallest components of the material and its relation with surrounding. Analyzing the microstructure in this direction helps to see which is the most convenient way to intervene for obtention of the optimal carton-based material for structural use in architecture. |
