“…Other researchers have reported similar decreasing trends in strength of earthen blocks after exceeding certain fiber content thresholds. These include 2.0% salvaged steel fibers [71], 0.75% sisal fiber [21], and 1.5% barley straw [49]. The coefficient of variation reported in this study was between 6.80% and 25.58%.…”

“…Several other agricultural waste fibres such as jute, barley straw [5,6], and date palm [7] have been investigated for its performance in soil building blocks. Industrial wastes such as saw dust, steel fibre [8], coal by-products [9], blast-furnace slag [10], natural and phosphogypsum [11], rubber [12] and plastic [13] have also been studied to improve the performance of soil building blocks. Animal wastes such as cow dung, wool [14], flora fibres such as hibiscus cannabinus fibre [15] have also been used as reinforcement in soil blocks.…”

“…Eko et al [127] explored the utilisation of salvaged steel fibre (1.7, 2, 2.7vol%) from used tires for reinforcement of unfired earth blocks. The fibre lengths used in the experiment were 20, 35, and 50mm with a radius of 1.59mm.…”
