Abstract:This paper addresses the growing use of bio-based materials in Europe, thanks to their low embodied energy and carbon sequestration. Despite favorable hygrothermal and acoustic properties, the inherent challenge lies in the low mechanical properties of biobased concrete. This study presents an innovative approach to strengthen hemp concrete through natural FRCM (Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix), using two distinct reinforcement techniques. Firstly, a bending reinforcement consists of applying natural FRC… Show more
