Clay-based composite stabilized with natural polymer and fibre (2010, methodology): “Tests done by Bouhicha et al. [30] proved the positive effects of adding straw in decreasing shrinkage, reducing the curing time and enhancing compressive strength if an optimal reinforcement ratio is used.”
A simple review of soil reinforcement by using natural and synthetic fibers (2012, background): “In addition to these benefits, the straw could act as a thermal insulation material for the unpleasant weather conditions to create pleasant indoor temperatures [75].”
The effects of the fiber contents on the mechanic properties of the adobes (2008, background): “The fiber content is an important agent on decrease in the strength; however, on the other hand, it decreases the shrinkage rate due to added viscosity and green strength [7,8,11].”
Mechanical properties and hygroscopicity behavior of compressed earth block filled by date palm fibers (2014, background): “The use of local natural fibers is more beneficial for the population as fibers are locally available in abundance, economical benefits, low energy consumption and allows the reduction of environmental impacts [4–12].”
Physical, mechanical and durability properties of soil building blocks reinforced with natural fibres (2015, background): “Furthermore, agricultural wastes such as chopped barley straw [12, 13], processed waste tea [14], seaweed [15], oil palm empty fruit bunches [16], lechuguilla [17], pineapple leaves [18], cassava peel [6], hibiscus cannabinus [19], date palm [20] and coir [21, 22] have been investigated.”
Plant aggregates and fibers in earth construction materials: A review (2016, background): “Shrinkage stabilization occurred earlier with the use of straw [29] because of the hollow structure of the stems, which allowed accelerated evaporation.”
Effect of fibre aspect ratio on mechanical properties of soil building blocks (2015, methodology): “Most studies on the use of natural fibres for enhancement of soil blocks have focused on the fibre content, with few incorporating fibre lengths in their experimental design [1, 5, 16, 17].”
Experimental characterization of Italian composite adobe bricks reinforced with straw fibers (2015, background): “Even though many scientific works on different types of earthen materials and structures are available in literature [5–9], detailed studies are needed to assess material properties and structural behavior because earthen structures are strongly site-specific, depending on the techniques used for ma”
