Effect of neem (Azadirachta Indica) fibers on mechanical, thermal and durability properties of adobe bricks

Neem fibers are traditionally added as reinforcements in adobes. Laboratory experiments including, compressive strength, three-point bending strength, water absorption, erosion and thermal conductivity were carried out on adobes made with soil and reinforced with two neem fibers types (straw and lea...
