The objective of this study was to obtain, mechanical and chemical fibre characterization of Loofah (Luffa cylindrica) used, and the use of same as possible reinforcement of cementitious composites. Initially, Loofah fibres were forwarded to the mechanical press for losing your cylindrical format, providing a more facilitated, molding of composite posterior. From there, were subjected to direct tensile test, dividing her time between filament and fabric, x-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IV), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microscope analysis Digital, with further analysis in digital software. The array was dosed, respecting a partial substitution of 50 per cent cement, Pozzolanic materials, such as 40 per cent metacaulinite and 10 per cent fly ash, with the goal of reducing the amount of calcium hydroxide (CH), native of cement hydration product. Superplasticizer was also used in the making of the folder, to improve the fluidity and ensure that the entire area of the mold were filled equally, in addition to providing the drenching fiber uniform. Chemical characterization through array of Thermogravimetry (TGA), which was able to corroborate the low presence of CH, resulting in the incorporation of vegetable fibers in this array. The mechanical properties were evaluated from flow tabe test, compression and flexural strenght. The compound with the above-mentioned matrix was made with Loofah fibres in the directions of loading and subsequently forwarded to the three-point flexural test. To add value to the discussion, made a sandwich composite with sisal fiber (Agave sisalana) in conjunction with the Loofah fiber. The cementitious composites reinforced by loofah fiber, and sandwich composite presented values of maximum 33 per cent larger in relation to specimens only molded array (no reinforcement), although it is not an improvement as significant as found in other synthetic or natural fibers, already studied and some in use by industry.
