Properties of Aerated Hempcrete as a potential sustainable Building Material
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019 Abstract Aerated concrete is lightweight concrete commercially available as aerocon blocks for the construction of infill walls. The compressive strength of these blocks varies from 4 to 6 MPa. This paper discusses the properties of aerated concrete by the use of mineral admixtures like fly ash, construction and demolition waste (C&D

Hygrothermal behavior of hempcrete walls
Annual of Univercity of architecture, civil engineering and geodesyBuilding materials based on natural renewable resources are a key factor in reducing the environmental footprint of the construction industry. Among them, hempcrete stands out – a biocomposite obtained by mixing hemp fibers with a binder based on building lime and water. Its natural origin, good thermal and acoustic insulation properties, and excellent

Use of Hempcrete in Sustainable Construction
Conventional building materials such as concrete, steel, and fired bricks require high energy consumption during manufacturing and contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution. Sustainable construction practices are therefore increasingly focusing on renewable, biodegradable, low-carbon, and energy-efficient ...
