Finite element simulation examines the influence of sisal fibers and mortar composition on strength.

The fiber-reinforced compressed earth block wall demonstrates superior ductility, achieving 1.05MPa stress.
Unreinforced walls with 4% cement mortar reach a stress of 0.92MPa, showing lower performance under compression.
Walls using 8% cement mortar achieve the highest strength at 1.15MPa but exhibit abrupt failure.
Incorporating natural fiber reinforcements can enhance both strength and resilience in sustainable construction.

ELMAATOUFI et al. (2025) studied this question.
