Systematic Review of 45 Studies on Fibre-Reinforced Compressed Earth Blocks

Ning Wang's 2026 systematic review analyzes 45 experimental investigations on fibre-reinforced compressed earth blocks (CEB). The study, published on figshare, examines the effects of fibres on physical, thermal, mechanical, and durability properties in both unstabilised and chemically stabilised systems. It identifies performance trends, matrix dependencies, and research gaps to support low-carbon construction applications.

Use Cases

• Comparing mechanical performance of fibre-reinforced CEB based on the reviewed physical and thermal property data
• Analyzing the synergistic effects of fibres and chemical stabilisers mentioned in the description
• Identifying research gaps for multi-performance optimisation of low-carbon composite building systems
• Reviewing methodological heterogeneity in materials, preparation, and testing protocols across studies

Strengths

• Systematic review based on the PRISMA framework, suggesting a structured methodology
• Analyzes 45 distinct experimental investigations, providing a broad evidence base
• Examines four key property categories: physical, thermal, mechanical, and durability
• Distinguishes between unstabilised (CUSEB) and chemically stabilised (CSEB) systems for comparative analysis

Limitations

• The dataset is a 1.6 MB PDF document; the underlying review data (e.g., coded study details) is not provided in a structured, machine-readable format
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting direct data analysis
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download
