Implication

Experimental assessment shows improved mechanical and hygrothermal behavior in compressed earth blocks, suggesting enhanced performance for sustainable construction.

Key Points

DFCL exhibited a compressive strength of about 10 MPa, nearly twice that of DF.
The highest thermal attenuation factor (2.24) and a hygroscopic factor of 2.05 were seen in DFCL.
Testing involved a bi-climatic cell to determine thermal and hygroscopic performance under tropical conditions.
Findings highlight the potential of kenaf fiber-reinforced CEBs as sustainable structures for load-bearing walls in humid climates.
