Analysis of the mechanical characteristics in mortar mixtures with the incorporation of corn leaf fibers

This article presents the results of an experimental design research work, aimed at adding the fibers of the corn leaf to the cement mortar matrix 1:3, performing tension and compression, humidity and density tests to determine the degree of final resistance of the new reinforced mortar. Once described the way in which the fiber of the corn leaf is acquired, the quantities of the elements of the mixture are detailed, and the results of three samples and the average obtained are disclosed.
