Waste-based evolution of elasticity in altered lime adobe units with explanatory predictions of peak functions models

Altered lime adobe units are an improvised antique clay adobe technique with hydrated lime and waste additives. The research has been carried out to renovate adobe bricks and mortar with different trials including recycled clay brick waste as sand material, hydrated lime as the binder, and tapioca peel ash as pozzolanic material. The foremost aim was to compute curve-fitting models from experimental data for optimizing materials, elasticity prediction, and masonry elasticity from the stress–strain performance in uniaxial compression. The masonry features determined from the experiments are compressive strength, elastic modulus, and Poisson ratio. The Gaussian and Lorentzian peak functions were attempted for the data analytics. Investigations were made on altered lime adobe masonry units to propose a sustainable alternative to adobe architecture and to take on better-fitting models.
