The need for sustainable, environmentally friendly and energy efficient building materials have developed the interest in the investigation of cement composites reinforced with Guadua Angustifolia Kunth fibers. This plant is characterized by its good mechanical properties showing a high resistance to bending and compression, which is why it is known as vegetable steel. Although all Guadua culm is used in different regions of the country for the construction of houses, few studies have been developed for the use of its fibers as reinforcement. In this research, Guadua Angustifolia Kunth fibers obtained after an alkaline treatment were used as reinforcement in the production of cement composite boards. The alkaline treatment had three different cooking levels 1, 2 and 3 hours. 9 specimens were manufactured by the casting method with each of the treatment levels, in addition the evaluation of the mechanical properties was carried out at 7, 28 and 180 days of curing. The structural variation of the band associated with structural carbohydrates of the fibers was evaluated after the treatment, as well as the flexural response of the boards at 7, 28 and 180 days of curing was evaluated. It was observed that the treatment with Calcium Hydroxide reduces the content of non-cellulosic compounds and the inclusion of these fibers as reinforcement in cement boards generates materials with adequate mechanical properties for use in non-structural construction applications.
