Thermophysical, Mechanical and Durability Properties of Adobes Incorporated with Juncus Maritimus Fibres
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The aim of this research is to study the thermophysical, mechanical, and durability behaviour of adobes reinforced with Juncus maritimus fibres, which have recently been used in building materials.This composite consists of a mixture of clay incorporated with different percentages of fibres by volume of 20%, 40% and 60%.The raw materials were characterised physically, chemically, thermally, geotechnically and mineralogically.The thermal and mechanical properties of the adobes elaborated were determined by Hot disk method, compressive strength and flexural strength tests.A capillary water absorption test was used to assess the effect of fibre content on the durability of the adobes.The outcomes showed that adding 60% fibre to the clay matrix reduced the thermal conductivity, thermal effusivity and thermal diffusivity of the composites by 49.07%, 34.65% and 39.26% respectively, coupled with a 16.34% increase in specific heat capacity.But that a reduction in compressive and flexural strength was obtained as the amount of fibre in the clay matrix increased.In addition, to understand the durability of the composites produced, the evaluation of their behaviour when exposed to water shows that increasing the percentage of Juncus maritimus fibres in the adobe increased the water resistance of the composites.These results confirm the potential of Juncus maritimusreinforced adobes as durable, thermally efficient building materials.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
