- Additional information
- This study carried-out in collaboration with the College of Technology Education, Kumasi in Ghana provides a fundamental underpinning for future work on fibres in soil blocks hitherto mainly discussed in empirical and material-specific terms. The work has since been used in soil material studies in countries such as India (Raavi & Tripura, Constr Build Mater. 262,120845 (2020)) & China (Wang et al., Acta Geophysica, 68(6), pp. 1803-1819 (2020)) as well as being used in fields as diverse as cement composites (Aydin, Constr Build Mater. 153, pp. 393-401 (2017)) and tissue engineering (Balen et al., Appl. Surf. Sci. 345, 257-267 (2016)).
