Wood-cement compounds (WCCs) are composite materials made of wooden aggregates and mineral (cement) binders. These materials are widely used as prefabricated panels in the construction industry. A main obstacle for using casted WCC in construction elements is high shrinkage of the young product and frequently difficult workability of the mixes. This pro-ject addresses both of these problems by developing self-compacting low-shrinkage WCCs. An-other objective of the study is to reduce cement content, which is typically very high in WCCs (500 to 700 kg/m3 of Portland cement). By replacing Portland cement with inert fillers or poz-zolanic waste materials, the environmental impact of the WCCs can be lowered and a “greener” cement-based material is created. To assess the effectiveness of the developed recipes, WCC specimens are evaluated with regard to shrinkage, workability and mechanical performance.
