Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Insulating Sustainable Mortars with <i>Ampelodesmos mauritanicus</i> and <i>Pennisetum setaceum</i> Plants as Aggregates

Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Insulating Sustainable Mortars with <i>Ampelodesmos mauritanicus</i> and <i>Pennisetum setaceum</i> Plants as Aggregates

The use of natural fibers in cement composites is a widening research field as their application can enhance the mechanical and thermal behavior of cement mortars and limit their carbon footprint. In this paper, two different wild grasses, i.e., <i>Ampelodesmos mauritanicus</i>, also cal...
