Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Hollow Bricks Incorporating Aerated Aggregates: A Polymer-Cement Composite Approach
Abstract: The rapid advancement of construction technologies has necessitated the development of lightweight, thermally efficient, and sustainable building materials. Hollow bricks, due to their inherent voids, offer substantial reductions in dead load and enhanced insulation properties. However, their mechanical performance often falls short when compared to conventional solid bricks. To address this limitation, this study explores the synergistic integration of aerated aggregates and polymer-cement composites (PCCs) in hollow brick production. Aerated …

Thermal and Microstructural Evaluation of Natural-Glass Fiber Hybrid Composites: Sustainable Alternatives to Synthetic Materials
Abstract: The scope of engineering requirements for composite materials, which mix features from several elements engaged in engineering applications to enable greater performance, cannot be adequately understood in this way. The most recent of these materials are hybrid composites, which combine synthetic and natural fibers, particularly glass fibers, and are anticipated to create new, promising materials in terms of their ties to cost, performance, and consistency. From the perspective of their …
