Unfired admixed soil blocks are composed of standard soil and a stabilizer or reinforcement
material in the form of binder and fiber. This literature review systematically examines the …

After being almost abandoned at the end of the Second World War, the use of raw earth is
currently regaining the interest of architects, engineers and policy makers for the …

Fiber-reinforced cemented soil has been specified for various purposes. However, limited
studies are available on the effects of basalt fiber on dynamic mechanical properties of …

This paper investigates the effect of coir, bamboo and steel reinforcement on the axial and
diagonal compressive strength of cement stabilized rammed earth wallettes. Two types of …

Earthen construction represents almost 30% of the housing in developing countries, partially
because of its low cost compared to steel and concrete construction, and also because the …

This paper investigates the effect of coir along with bamboo and steel reinforcement on the
flexural strength and failure patterns of cement stabilized rammed earth wallettes. About …

A new elasto-plastic constitutive model for fiber-reinforced materials is developed. The
model considers the effect of distributed fibers embedded in a matrix. A numerical technique …

Composite construction materials are widely utilized and have demonstrated superior
efficiency compared to their constituent materials, such as steel and concrete. Despite their …

A finite element model for cement-stabilized soil block (CSSB) masonry members—
including nonlinear stress-strain relationship—has been developed and compared with …

Composite construction materials are extensively employed and have proven to be more
effective than their individual components, such as steel and concrete. This is because …
