“…As a processing parameters, Awad [26] investigated the effect of temperature, pressure and time on the physical and mechanical behaviour of DPF reinforced unsaturated polyester resin (UPR). Three different reinforcement weights (10,15, and 20 tons ) were examined for 3, 6, and 9 minutes at 90 and 110°C.…”

This study focuses on the reduction of the environmental impact of plastic waste and the valorisation of vegetal wastes produced annually from date palms. This paper presents an experimental study on the manufacturing of composite panels based on date palm leaflets, DPL, and expanded polystyrene wastes were carried out. Hot compression process was proposed with the aim of improving the composite manufacturing techniques previously released by the team using a cold compression process. Three composites were studied with the weight fraction (wt.%) of 70, 75 and 80 of the DPL as a reinforcement. The weight fraction of expanded polystyrene is respectively 30, 25 and 20 wt.%. Physical and mechanical characterizations of biocomposites were performed with the reinforcement size between 0.315 mm and 0.5 mm. The result shows that the composite panels have a low density between 414 and 511 kg/m 3 . The composite panels showed an improved maximum stress and flexural modulus that can reach 6.18 MPa and 13.5 MPa respectively. These values are comparable to the literature values such as Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) (13.5-25 MPa) and the Durian Peel and Coconut Coir (DPCC) particleboards (0.8-22.4 MPa), (0.7-43 MPa). However, the water absorption result ranging from 77 to 95 % shows that the studied composite panels are sensitive to moisture and exhibit high moisture uptake percentage thus limits their possibility of use in moist condition.

“…In crushing and excavation process though huge amount of petroleum energy is consumed, various researches are carried (Sastry and Pothala 2012;Sastry and Murthy 2015) to find an alternate sustainable petroleum product using natural raw source and still it's in progress for large scale productions. Cracks appear easily in concrete due to its brittle nature and mere tensile strength (Awad et al 2022;Ogunbode et al 2021). However, finding an alternative for primary materials (cement and aggregate) would be the acceptable solution for sustainable construction.…”

Utilization of microbiologically induced calcite precipitation along with fiber composite have great influence on improving strength and durable properties of concrete. The concept of mechanical properties of grouted concrete added with bacteria, steel fibers (SF), rice husk ash (RHA) and light weight aggregate (LWA) has been focused on this work. In the fabrication of concrete specimens, concentration of bacteria, combination of steel fibers and LWA was placed in the formwork, and to fill the voids flowable grout was injected. The variables studied in this work are two different sizes of LWA viz., 10 mm and 12.5 mm with constant dosage of 2% hooked end steel fibers by volume of concrete, 10% RHA was used as cement replacement for preparation of grout and bacteria was incorporated in cement grout by direct application. The properties such as compressive strength (CS), compressive strength regain (CSR), crack width healing, impact strength for first crack and final failure, rate of healing was studied for pre-cracked specimens using visual and microscopic observation. In addition, microstructure was studied for grouted concrete without bacteria and with bacteria under immersed curing conditions. From the experimental results, performance of bacteria added grouted concrete properties such as CS, CSR, cracking healing capacity, and impact strength has improved with the addition of fibers.Utilization of microbiologically induced calcite precipitation along with fiber composite have great influence on improving strength and durable properties of concrete.
