In the majority of emerging nations, there is an immediate demand for a method of house
construction that is both affordable and long-lasting. Compressed stabilized earth blocks …

This study explored the use of coir fibers extracted from coconut husks, an agro-waste
material that constitutes sanitation and environmental pollution problems, as a reinforcing …

Featured Application This study presents a novel approach to use ML models to estimate the
hygroscopic properties of a natural fiber: Borassus fruit fibres (BNF). This knowledge is …

Featured Application The potential application of the work is to facilitate the perception of the
properties of unconventional construction materials. That implies the correlation between the …

This study investigates the feasibility of creating a clay polymer-based composite using
cowpea husk (CPH) as filler for production of roof tiles. Polymeric composites were …

This investigation presents the results of a multiscale examination of the hygro-thermal and
mechanical properties of designed earth-base bio-composite. The matrix and the fiber …

Environmental implications of the extensive use of cement and concrete as building
materials have significantly increased over the years. In order to mitigate the harmful impact …

The study explores the potential of machine learning (ML) in predicting the thermal and
mechanical properties of earth-based composites reinforced with natural Borassus fruit fiber …

This paper presents the results of the experimental and analytical studies of the mechanical
and thermal properties of laterite composites mixed with reprocessed low-density …

Dimensional stability and compressive strength are key factors to consider when modelling
earth-based materials. It defines the volumetric performance of earth-based materials upon …
