EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF CLAY-CEMENT BLOCKS REINFORCED WITH COCONUT FIBERS

This article aims for analyzing under an axial stress, the behavior of earth blocks reinforced by various proportions of coconut fibers. For this fact, compressive and flexural tests were carried out after 28 days of maturation, on dry blocks elaborate with clay stabilized at 8% of cement and conta...
