Adobe construction is widespread in many rural areas around the world. It is characterized by being traditional and corresponds to the climatic characteristics of the regions in which it is located, as well as low energy consumption and compatibility with the principle of environmental conservation. In addition to the possibility of recycling. However, it has such disadvantages as fragility and wilting due to climatic factors. Modern research has, therefore, focused on increasing the hardness of this brick. This study aims to study the effect of using palm and lime fibers in adobe bricks. According to previous studies, it is one of the most important ways to improve the mechanical properties of adobe bricks. We are studying bricks from the Adrar region in the south of Algeria. Where we change the ratio of lime to 5%، 10%، 15%، 20%. We change the percentage of palm fibers from 0.1% to 0.5%. We determine the ideal water content and study the change in density and mechanical pressures inside a scientific laboratory using systematic experimental methods. The study focuses on determining the best ratio between palm and lime fibers, which gives us the highest hardness of the samples. Preliminary results indicate that adding palm fibers reduces the bulk density value by 0.34% to 8.53%, which makes the brick lighter. The value of mechanical stresses increases from 7.89% to 26%.The best ratio is 0.2% palm fibers to 15% lime, which is a positive ratio in terms of solidity. These results allow us to know the ideal proportions between palm fibers, lime, soil, and water so that we can take advantage of them in future studies.

“…Some researchers have studied the mechanical properties of adobe materials under different ratios by mixing cement and cement special mixture materials [9]. The results show that when the water/solid ratio is 1:5, the cement content reaches 20%, the cement special mixture material content is 2%, the adobe material content is 80%, the compressive strength reaches 12 MPa, and the flexural strength reaches 3.2 MPa after 56 days of curing [10].…”

With the widespread use of adobe materials in buildings, their durability can deteriorate under harsh weather conditions such as long-term low temperatures and rainfall, which can easily lead to safety accidents. This article takes adobe material mixed with construction waste recycled powder as the research object and adds the prepared construction waste recycled concrete powder and recycled brick powder to the adobe material in different proportions to study the mechanical and durability properties of the adobe material. The results indicate that under normal temperature curing conditions, the compressive strength of the adobe sample significantly increases with the increase in the recycled powder content, and then decreases. Under high-temperature conditions, with the increase in the recycled powder content, the compressive strength of the adobe sample first significantly increases and then decreases. When the powder content is within the range of 6% to 10%, good moisture absorption and desorption performance can be achieved. When the content of recycled powder is between 2% and 10%, the effect on the dry–wet cycling performance of the adobe is weakest. When the content of grade I/II recycled brick powder is between 2% and 6%, and the content of grade I recycled concrete powder is between 2% and 6%, the negative impact on the freeze–thaw cycle performance is relatively weak. The research results provide theoretical data support for the mixed-use of recycled powder and adobe materials.

“…It is known that the building industry is a significant part of the world market, since housing is a fundamental need for human life and is essential in the social economic development of nations [ 2 , 3 ]. At the same time, the growing demand for goods and services in the building industry—with requirements in terms of quality, mechanical and physical properties—causes significant impacts on resources and the environment, requiring the extraction of large quantities of virgin raw materials and generating huge amounts of CDW, that reach annual figures in the order of 10 billion tons [ 1 ].…”

Recovery of Mixtures of Construction Waste, PET and Sugarcane Bagasse for the Manufacture of Partition Blocks

The building industry generates millions of tons of construction and demolition waste annually (12 million tons/year are generated in Mexico, of which only 4% is reused or recycled). Concomitantly, the demand for goods and services by the building industry causes significant environmental impacts. On the other hand, plastic waste is also difficult to assimilate into the environment in the short term, and its recovery is of special interest. Therefore, this research focuses on the feasibility of the manufacture of Partition Blocks (essential building element) through the combination of construction and demolition waste (CDW), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic flakes, dust from tire shredding, and residue from the sugar industry (bagasse). The results of this study show that the Partition Blocks made with CDW and PET reach an average compressive strength of 115.003 kgf/cm2 (11.278 MPa) (suitable for structural use according to Mexican regulations); the use of lime enhances the consistency of the mixture of CDW and PET (increases its cohesion and homogeneity); and finally, these Partition Blocks have a cost comparable to the current conventional Partition Blocks made with virgin material, thus, conferring them validity as a feasible recycling option for these residues.
