• Plant aggregates and fibers in earth construction materials: A review (2016, background): “[71] as a two stage failure: the first one corresponding to the failure of the clay matrix and the second one to that of the aggregate or fiber mesh.”
• Mechanical properties and hygroscopicity behavior of compressed earth block filled by date palm fibers (2014, background): “We note that the addition of natural fibers was customary in the manufacture of adobes and other products since antiquity in order to reduce shrinkage cracking and improve the tensile strength [5,13].”
