Abstract
Over the past two decades, Cement Composite Boards (CCB) made of natural fibres without asbestos have been developed and used for internal and external wall, roofing, flooring, and cladding in some developed countries. Using selected natural cellulose fibres, it is possible to develop products for different uses with this new technology. This depends on the types of fibres used, its ratio in the mix design, the type, the amount of additive materials and also the method
of processing and making. In this research, different specimens made of different types of cellulose fibres were studied and their properties were determined. The results indicate that the fibre contents and types affect the flexural behaviour and fracture mechanism of composite sheets significantly.
