The use of shredded plastic wastes in Alker production and its effect on compressive strength and shrinkage properties

Earthen buildings have gained popularity in recent years due to their eco-friendly sustainability approach in both materials and production technique. The materials' availability, ease of construction, and energy efficiency contribute to the utilization of wastes and the reduction of greenhouse...
