“…The results showed a thermal conductivity of 0.04610 w/mÁK in the average temperature range of 15.6-32°C. Aminudin [19] investigated the improvement of cement bricks by 10% weight of sugarcane bagasse fiber, decreasing thermal conductivity to 0.62 w/mÁK. Some studies report that the chemical composition is affected by fiber age, harvesting method, and climatic conditions such as cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and sugar ash [20].…”

Climate change is currently an issue that worries governments and society due to its threat. It is essential to implement efficient materials with low energy consumption in construction. This work shows the use of sugarcane products in the Mexican construction sector, aiming to mitigate the impact of energy wasting. As a case study, the analysis of thermophysical properties of a light mortar panel based on cane bagasse ash and corncob is presented. The experimental thermal properties of a hybrid panel system composed of cane bagasse ash, corncob, and lime were characterized. A sandwich-type construction component was made with two outer panels of reinforced mortar and between the panel of cane and corncob bagasse ash. Measurements of the surface temperatures of the system were conducted to determine the decrement factor and thermal lag, and the results were compared to other construction systems. The decremental factor and thermal lag were 0.19 (a reduction of 82%) and 6:03 h (an increment of 2400%) compared to the control panel of ferrocement only. These results are significant because the panel prepared limits the heat flow in peak hours when high temperatures reach their maximum values. This composite panel can provide an ecological alternative for energy-saving and thermal comfort and help fight climate change.

“…Moreover, biowaste burnt having adverse environmental effect, contributing increase in global warming. Thus, the potential to bio-converting residue into potential ecofriendly techniques of textile grade fibers need to explore, if not will produce a huge disposal management problem (Aminudin et al, 2017). Further this could be cheap, eco-friendly domestic, cottage, fabric sustainable fashion and industrial utilizations.…”

Growing concern about changing climate triggered by global warming, agro-waste disposal and synthetic non-renewable products are major challenges. World is moving from non-degradable and no-renewable, bio-degradable recyclable sustainable substitutions. Thus, there is increasing demand for natural fibers to substitute altered fiber with organic plant fibers like banana tree. After fruit cutting huge banana biomass is leftover in the field with mean biomass generated by a single pseudostem is around1.44 (±0.6) kg on dry weight basis and half ton of banana waste emitted about 0.5-ton CO2 and burring caused global warming. This also badly affects the air quality index AQI (to measure the air pollution levels) by spreading fume mist affecting human and livestock health. A lignocellulose bio-fiber is extracted through raspador machine mechanically. The extracted fiber was processed with 1M NaOH at 80°C for 90 minutes for decontamination. We produced innovative green textile industrial cottage cellulosic organic banana pseudo-stem fiber. It has good spin able quality, durable, antibacterial attributes, and low weightage, absorption of moisture quality morphological and thermal characteristics. Its physico-chemical dynamics ie; fineness tex 3-7 strength bundle tex 20-30 level of moisture 10-11 and density 1.35 (g/cm3) staple Length 10-50 (cm) L/D ratio 150. Strength of tensile (MPa) 600-800. Elongation at break 3-9 (%). The banana fiber is best for potential materials for textile paper food and cottage, medical usage and eco and environment friendly wrapping industry. A novel eco-green technique could boost livelihood of the rural marginalized farmers with value added bio-products by value chain creating system to enhance circular economic wellbeing.

Abstract. The numerical behaviour of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) corbels reinforced with different fibre volume ratio subjected to vertical incremental load is presented in this paper. Precast concrete structures had become popular in the construction field, which offer a faster, neater, safer, easier and cheaper construction work. The construction components are prefabricated in controlled environment under strict supervision before being erected on site. However, precast beam-column connections are prone to failure due to the brittle properties of concrete. Finite element analysis (FEA) is adopted due to the nonlinear behaviour of concrete and SFRC. The key objective of this research is to develop a reliable nonlinear FEA model to represent the behaviour of reinforced concrete corbel. The developed model is validated with experimental data from previous researches. Then, the validated FEA model is used to predict the behaviour of SFRC corbel reinforced with different fibre volume ratio by changing the material parameters. The results show that the addition of steel fibre (SF) increases the load carrying capacity, ductility, stiffness, and changed the failure mode of corbel from brittle bending-shear to flexural ductile. On the other hand, the increasing of SF volume ratio also leads to increased load carrying capacity, ductility, and stiffness of corbel.
