Project Outcome: Different types of construction bricks

Project Description: The goal of this project was to investigate how different fibers, used in the production of bricks, affect their tensile strength, specifically measured by the modulus of rupture. By experimenting with various fibers such as natural plant fibers, synthetic fibers, and recycled materials, the project aimed to determine the most effective fiber types for enhancing the structural integrity and durability of sustainable construction materials. The results were intended to provide valuable insights into the potential for incorporating fibers into brick production, ultimately contributing to the development of stronger, more sustainable building materials that can withstand greater stress and reduce environmental impact.
