What is Natural Fibre Reinforced Mud Blocks Study about?

This document presents a feasibility study of using natural banana fibers to reinforce mud blocks for building materials. Mud blocks were prepared with local soil replaced with 10% industrial residues like fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag. Banana fibers of varying percentages (0.25-1%) and an optimized length of 60mm were added to the mud blocks. Testing showed that the fibers improved the compressive strength and reduced water absorption of the stabilized mud blocks compared to unreinforced
