Exploring the Dual Nature of Olive Husk: Fiber/Aggregate in Lightweight Bio-Concrete for Enhanced Hygrothermal, Mechanical, and Microstructural Properties by Halima Belhadad, Nadir Bellel, Ana Bras

“…Uniquely, this work harnesses the intrinsic dual nature of OH as both a fibrous reinforcement and a porous aggregate, without further fractionation, to evaluate its influence on the hygrothermal and mechanical behavior of cementitious composites. While prior studies have often focused selectively on thermal conductivity, this work provides a comprehensive assessment of all major thermal parameters; including diffusivity, effusivity, and specific heat capacity; offering deeper insights into the full thermal behavior of bio-based concretes. …”
