Due to economic, sustainable, and aesthetic benefits, academia the construction industry are exploring use of earth in modern is being widely studied. Unfortunately, as a material has low mechanical, poor water durability resistance, potential swell crack. Therefore, this paper evaluates chitosan potato starch, natural biodegradable polymers, stabilizers improve mechanical strength resistance printable earth-based matrix reinforced with sisal fibers. Although test results indicated that had...
Soil as a building material is gaining renewed interest from academia, and the construction sector, mainly for fabricating low-environmental impact homes. The fabrication of houses with soil using traditional methods such adobe, cob, rammed earth dates back to ancient times. However, emerging technologies, 3D printing, can be compatible this purposes. article presents validation printing system applications evaluation soil-cement matrices' printability. First, paper defines parameters...
3D printing has emerged as a revolutionary technology with potential applications in the construction industry. However, prevalent use of ordinary cement most formulations results significant greenhouse gas emissions during construction. Contrary, earthen-based composites are an eco-friendly alternative for building materials. material, earth presents poor mechanical strength and low durability against water erosion. The study aims to obtain suitable properties investigating their...
