Abstract
An unfired structural component such as a brick that is composed of soil components, cellulose fibers and at least one organic compound, the at least one organic compound selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acids and at least one aliphatic chain having between four and 28 carbon atoms in a matrix material composed of clay and soil particles .
Claims15
A structural component, the structural component comprising:
- a central body, the central body having an upper face and an opposed lower face and a central core located there between, wherein at least a portion of the central core is composed of a composite material, the composite material comprising:
- a matrix material, the matrix material containing soil composition particles;
- cellulose fibers;
- and
- at least one organic compound, the at least one organic compound having at least one carboxylic acid having an aliphatic chain having between four and 28 carbon atoms.

The structural component of claim 4 wherein the triglyceride further comprises at least one of the following:
- at least one saturated carboxylic acid having a C3 to C15 alkyl group, at least one monounsaturated carboxylic acid having a C3 to C15 alkyl group.
A structural component, comprising:
- a central body, the central body having an upper face and an opposed lower face and a central core located there between, wherein at least a portion of the central core is composed of a composite, the composite comprising:
- soil composition particles;
- bamboo fibers present in an amount between 0 and 10% w/w, the cellulose fibers having an average diameter less than 5 mm and an average length less than 50 mm, wherein the bamboo fibers are derived from bamboo fibers that have been exposed to an alkaline environment for an interval between 2 and 20 hours;
- and
- at least one organic compound present in an amount up between 0.5% and 10% w/w, the at least one organic compound including at least one carboxylic acid, wherein the at least one carboxylic acid is the organic compound is unsaturated and has between two and five carbon-carbon double bonds.
