This study examines recent research on mortar and concrete reinforced with natural fibers
(NF). NF are a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to conventional fibers, offering a way to …

Geopolymer (GP) is environmentally friendly, has good mechanical properties and long-term
workability, and has broad application prospects. However, due to the poor tensile strength …

Millions of tons of banana pseudo-stem are readily available annually, making it a
sustainable resource for banana fiber. Banana fibres possess inherent mechanical strength …

The use of new natural fibers is considered a great advance in the science of cementitious
materials to promote the use of natural resources in place of commonly used synthetic fibers …

This study examines the microstructure and mechanical properties of foamed concrete
modified by natural fibers (basalt, coir, and sisal) in concentrations ranging from 0.15% to …

The global market for tires is ever-growing, and partially replacing sand with crumb rubber
(CR) as fine aggregates in concrete could reduce environmental pollution. However, the …

Brazil, a country with the greatest biodiversity in the world due to its favorable geographic
location and climate, has an abundant variety of natural fibers still unexplored with great …

Natural fibers are currently highly valued due to the need for environmentally friendly
alternatives. With the advancement of technology, natural fibers have substituted steel …

This study investigates the impact of hemp fibers on two fiber-reinforced compositions, clay-
based and lime-pozzolan mortar. Three compositions were prepared for each mortar …

An urgent and promising direction in the development of building materials science is the
improvement of the quality of non-autoclaved aerated concrete. In view of the obvious …
