Simulation of the regularity of compressed earth bricks with thick liquid from banana stem using experimental design

In the current context of accelerated climate change and increasing global population, the construction industry faces crucials challenges : reducing its environmental impact while meeting the growing demand for housing.Addressing these challenges, this study focuses on improving construction materials using natural stabilizers, such as a thick liquid extracted from banana tree trunks.The mechanical characteristics in the dry state presented by each type of compressed earth brick are then analyzed for each implementation process.Understanding the behavior of compressed earth bricks requires specific comprehension of the elements constituting them.This work aims to determine, using the design of experiments method, a set of predictive models related to the proportions of the components of bricks formulated from thick liquid extracted from banana tree trunks.A factorial design was adopted to model the influence of three essential parameters related to the mixture's cohesion and strenght : soil ratios, thick liquid extracted from banana tree trunks, and processing duration.These data analysis methods enable the gathering, summarizing, and presentation of information to extract the most insights for future experiments.The design of experiments methodology assists researchers in structuring their approach innovatively, validating hypotheses, gaining a better understanding of the studied phenomena, and problem-solving.To conduct planned experimental research, formulations and mathematical models are developed to predict both the workability and strength of the bricks, highlighting the relationships and interactions between different factors using Minitab software.
