Evaluation of the Technological Properties of Soil–Cement Bricks with Incorporation of Coconut Fiber Powder

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of partial replacement of soil by different percentages of coconut fiber powder in the manufacture of soil–cement bricks. The reference mix ratio of 10:1 (soil:cement) in volume was used for the manufacture of bricks, in addition to the partial replacement of soil mass by 5, 10, and 15% of coconut fiber. The characterization of the raw materials was performed with the analysis of the granulometry, together with technological tests, such as mechanical compre… Show more

“…57 Furthermore, if the curing conditions are inadequate, transverse shrinkage cracks form in the cemented layer. 58 In CEPED 17 shows that the ideal cure should be at least seven days protected from open air and humidified at least twice a day. The correct and ideal procedure would be to promote drying in continuous flow ovens and the steam removed from the chamber, a product of the evaporated water, could be used to cure the bricks, thus the curing time could be accelerated.…”

“…There has been extensive effort to recycle by-products from other industries by incorporation into soil-cement bricks and blocks materials such as coconut fibre waste [58], polymeric waste [59], granite cutting powder [60], clay and cement waste [61], mining waste and tailing [62,63], rice husk [64], foundry sand [65], and water treatment sludge [64,66], to cite a few. Even though brick and block raw materials are key contributors to the masonry life cycle environmental and energy performance, other aspects should also be factored in.…”
