Newest firstHemp-lime composites, characterized by pro-environmental features, offer an interesting alternative to traditional building materials. The properties of these materials depend on many factors, leading to uncertainty regarding the results obtained when designing building envelopes. Volumetric density-a key factor-depends on the manufacturing technique adopted, among other things, and can be controlled. In this stud…
Open article record in new tab ↗This research suggested natural hemp fiber-reinforced ropes (FRR) polymer usage to reinforce recycled aggregate square concrete columns that contain fired-clay solid brick aggregates in order to reduce the high costs associated with synthetic fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs). A total of 24 square columns of concrete were fabricated to conduct this study. The samples were tested under a monotonic axial compression…
Open article record in new tab ↗The microstructural evolution and hydration behaviors of cement composites incorporating three natural fibers (abaca, hemp, and jute) were investigated in this study. Mercury intrusion porosimetry was used to assess the microstructural changes, focusing on the pore-size distribution and total porosity. Additionally, the hydration characteristics were analyzed using setting time measurements and isothermal calorime…
Open article record in new tab ↗Depending on the morphology of the natural fibers, they can be used as reinforcement to improve flexural strength in cement-based composites or as aggregates to improve thermal conductivity properties. In this last aspect, hemp, coconut, flax, sunflower, and corn fibers have been used extensively, and further study is expected into different bioaggregates that allow diversifying of the raw materials. The objective…
The current physical goods economy produces materials by extracting finite valuable resources without taking their end of the life and environmental impact into account. Modernity leaves us with devasted landscapes of depleted resources, waste landfill, queries, oil platforms. At the time of the Anthropocene, the various effects the human role has on the constitution of the soils create an acceleration of material…
This experimental study was focused on the application of an alternative binder based on MgO, and the variation of its components by the combination of two MgO products obtained by the calcinations of natural magnesite, siliceous materials (river sand and silica fume), and alkaline admixture in the mixture for a preparation of composite based on biomass waste such as hemp hurds as organic filler. This paper presen…
