The Compressed Earth Block (CEB) by utilizing the Durio Zibethinus Fiber (DZF) is an innovative idea to promote the Green Initiatives Buildings in the construction industry. The utilization of agricultural waste product which is Durio Zibethinus contribute to minimization of the firing process which involves high energy and emitted high carbon footprint. Rising interest in producing ultimately green and environmentally friendly building materials has opened the initiative to re-use the waste from the agriculture industry, which also reduces the potential pollution source. In this study, the CEB was produced by the addition of durian peel fiber to the brick mix at different percentages of 2%, 3%, and 5% and was assessed for its mechanical and physical properties. On the other hand, the durian fiber was first treated with aluminium sulfate to improve durability and reduce the water absorption rate. With the proper use of a stabilizer, the CEB is proven to demonstrate comparable strength and durability compared to a burnt clay brick. It was found that the 3% durian fiber has produced the optimum compressive strength and decreased the water absorption rate over time. © 2024 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
