The production process of conventional building materials consumes a high amount of
energy which has a negative impact on the environment. The use of locally available …

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of research on the utilization of fibers
(predominantly derived from waste materials) as reinforcement in adobe brick production …

This study investigates the properties of soil blocks stabilised with fibres from agricultural
waste. Laboratory experiments including density, water absorption, shrinkage, compressive …

Low cost building materials, thermal comfort, energy consumption reduction and lower
carbon dioxide emissions are the main reasons for the renewed interest in the exploitation of …

This study focused on exploring the effects of cornsilk fibers on mechanical properties of
cemented soil by conducting compaction, compression, and splitting tension tests. The …

Soil-based building material has been used since ancient times but lately it has been mainly
considered for restoration purposes of traditional architecture instead of an eco-friendly …

The disposal of agricultural waste is a serious environmental problem. Use of agricultural
wastes in the production of cement block may reduce the global environmental pollution …

The Earth construction is the oldest building practice on the world. Around 30% of the world
population lives in buildings made of earth materials. These materials offer economic and …

This paper investigates the effect of coir percentage, length and cement content on the
properties of rammed earth blocks in terms of strength, density and durability followed by …

This study investigates the short-and long-term characteristics of adobe bricks containing
palm fibers of different soil weight ratios (0.25 to 1%). Towards this, the compressive …
