- Experimental analysis of Compressed Earth Block (CEB) with banana fibers resisting flexural and compression forces (2016, background): “Polyethylene fiber is the most popular synthetic fiber that has been used in CEB and in other construction materials like concrete [4,5].”
- Physical, mechanical and durability properties of soil building blocks reinforced with natural fibres (2015, background): “This is in contrast to other studies such as those summarised by Walker [24] which reported stronger correlations between tensile and compressive strengths.”
- Role of lime with cement in long-term strength of Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (2014, background): “It offers a number of environmental benefits, including lower embodied energy levels; high thermal mass and maximizing the use of locally sourced materials (Walker, 2004).”
