Abstract

It has been shown that the most prevalent material is soil. It is essential to the manufacture of bricks. It is well known that burned bricks function well for masonry projects, providing durability and structural integrity that are vital for construction applications. Furthermore, a significant amount of heat energy is utilized during the heating process that creates them, thus emphasizing the energy-intensive nature of brick production. In addition, children are frequently taken on trips to distant locations, possibly for educational purposes or exploration. Because these blocks are made in basic, manually or semi-mechanized presses, which are operated using user-friendly methods and techniques, the production process remains accessible. These presses utilize readily stabilized dirt that is already present in the area, making them an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional bricks. This approach not only preserves local resources but also promotes sustainability within the community.In presses, local soil stabilized by cement is used to create soil-cement blocks, also referred to as compressed earth blocks or stabilized mud blocks for load-bearing masonry. This process is not only cost-effective but also utilizes significantly less heat energy compared to traditional methods. When it comes to building materials, soil cement bricks are not only less expensive but also more energy-efficient and unconventional when juxtaposed with the typical burnt mud bricks that are commonly employed to construct homes. In this work, Recron 3S fiber—a specific type of polypropylene fiber—is strategically incorporated to enhance the overall strength and resilience of the soil. This innovative approach contributes positively to the structural integrity of the blocks, making them a viable option for modern construction practices.

Keywords: Fiber reinforced soil,recron fiber,stabilized block, sustainable, reinforcing material.
