... showed that the addition of fibre, cement and bamboo or steel reinforcement prevents brittle failure. Fibre-reinforced samples showed improvement in compressive and shear load capacity by about 5 to 33% and 78 to 107%, respectively, with respect to the USURCWs. Both fibre and cement stabilisation enhance...
