“…(Chikhi et al, 2013) studied the effect of water on gypsum composites filled with DFF and found that the water content in the composites strongly depends on the water absorption capacity of DFF. In addition, (Toukil et al, 2012;Kessal et al, 2022) investigated the effect of water on a sandy solution filled with wood wool and discussed similar behavior. They also found that the high hygroscopicity nature of wood wool is a disadvantage that results in high shrinkage and swelling of the composites.…”

The development of eco-friendly composites as insulating materials in buildings offers practical solutions to reduce energy consumption, which is why scientists have started in recent decades to search for more sustainable and eco-friendly materials. It is well known that building materials are among the most commonly used materials and have an obvious negative impact on the environment. Therefore, this article presents a study on the use of a new bio-composite material, composed of natural fibers of date palm, cement, and sand. The objective of this study is to assess the thermal insulation properties, as well as the water absorption and mechanical performance of this material for the construction of buildings. The percentage by weight of date palm fiber in the test samples varied from 0% to 30% for a mixture of two fiber sizes equal to 3 mm and 7 mm. The characteristics of these samples were determined experimentally in terms of compressive strength, as well as thermal conductivity. The results show that the introduction of date palm fibers in mortars causes a decrease in compressive strength and thermal conductivity. This study affirmed that the use of vegetable fibers in cementitious composites has a positive effect on the properties of insulations and on the costs.

“…The F/C ratio for the HSC mix without bers was 15.6%. These ratios indicate the improvement in exural behaviour achieved by incorporating RSF and PLSF bers into the HSC, with RSF demonstrating higher F/C ratios compared to PLSF [74,75]. The inclusion of RSF and PLSF bers played a crucial role in reducing the failure performance of beams under the FS and addressing the brittle nature of the highstrength concrete (HSC).…”

The use of natural fiber waste presents a potential solution to address both environmental problems associated with agricultural waste and the issue of sudden failure in high-strength concrete (HSC). In this research, the effects of incorporating two fiber waste in HSC was investigated. Seven HSC mixes were prepared, including three with Rice Straw Fibers (RSF), three with palm leaf sheath fiber (PLSF), and one control mix without fibers. The volume fractions of the RSF and PLSF used in this research ranged from 1–3%, with an aspect ratio of 100. Several tests were conducted to evaluate the different properties of the HSC this including slump test, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity, were evaluated all mixtures. Results indicated that the addition of natural fiber did not significantly enhanced the compressive strength, while, the tensile and flexural strength of HSC increased, particularly when incorporating 1% RSF. RSF exhibited a more significant improvement in the properties of HSC when compared to PLSF. However, both types of fibers were effective in strengthening the HSC's brittleness behaviour.

“…In developing countries, researchers prioritize environmental protection by exploring the utilization of waste and renewable resources as alternative building materials before considering the adoption of new technologies. Benaniba et al, 9 Kessal et al, 10 Bellel and Bellel 11 and Wang et al 12 have observed an increasing use of composite materials in various engineering applications. However, natural fiber reinforced composite materials are influenced by various factors, such as fiber distribution, orientation, contact between fibers and matrix, fiber size and shape, mix design, methods of mixing and processing, and properties of different phases (matrix and fibers), as noted by Ayadi et al 13 In a study conducted by Bamaga 14 it was found that, the hydrophilic nature of lignocellulosic fiber composites had a negative impact on their mechanical properties as it decreased the bond strength between fibers and matrices.…”

The utilization of environmentally friendly composite materials for building insulation offers a practical solution to reducing energy consumption. This study explores the application of novel biocomposites, comprising cement, sand, treated (DPFT) and raw (DPF) date palm fibers and their influence on the thermal and mechanical properties of mortars. The samples were prepared with varying weight percentages of date palm fibers (0%− 20%), treated with NaOH, and possessing a fiber length of 7 mm. Water absorption, density, resistance to bending and compression, thermal conductivity and diffusivity were encompassed. The results indicate that incorporating treated fibers has a beneficial effect on the thermal and mechanical properties of the composite when compared to using raw fibers. Additionally, higher proportions of DPF lead to decreased thermal conductivity, diffusivity, and resistance to bending and compression, highlighting the positive impact of DPFT on the composite’s thermal and mechanical attributes. Notably, the treated fiber composite significantly enhances the insulation capacity of the mortar.
