Multicriteria Analysis Demonstrating The Impact of Shiv On The Properties

A multicriteria analysis was used to classify the types of shiv into three groups.
Three mechanical responses were demonstrated for the compression test on hempcrete.
Large specific surface area of shiv is the source of weak binder–aggregate bonding.
The shiv which optimises all characteristics, offers concrete with good performance.
A multicriteria analysis allows also to classify hempcrete into three groups.

Mechanical response conditions (i.e. the only variable being the type of shiv), specimen of hempcrete were made up in the
lab for experimentation. The aim here was to validate the results of the study characterising the different
types of shiv. The results show that there are three main types of mechanical response when the hemp-
crete is subjected to a compression test, where the material behaviour is characterised by small, medium
or large strains. The large specific surface area of shiv is known to be responsible for weak binding at the
interface between the binder and the plant particles, leading to total failure of the test piece. In addition,
its high water absorption capacity, which is the likely cause of the ‘‘false set effect” associated with the
elongated form of the particles, is identified as being responsible for the high rates of deformability found.
It should be noted that in the latter case, the specimens behave like a succession of layers, which accounts
for the significant levels of strain.
By multicriteria analysis of the results for the hempcrete specimens, we found that they can be also
classified into three groups, matching the three detected by the multicriteria analysis of the types of shiv
from which they were made. Unlike the previously published literature, this study leads to the conclusion
that shiv types with small particle sizes and high water absorption capacities do not produce the best

3.3.2.4. Apparent and elastic moduli. The variations observed for the
stress are confirmed in the case of the modulus. The results of the
apparent modulus show that the results are less dispersed for cer-
tain types of shiv than for others. This is particularly the case for
the C12 shiv type, characterised by low dispersions in comparison
to other shiv types (Fig. 14). Furthermore, this low dispersion of
C12, although less marked, remains observable for the compres-
sion stress with values of the order of 0.4 MPa (Fig. 14).
The same trends are observed for the elastic modulus, Fig. 15.
Here, also low dispersions are observed for C2 shiv. These results
show how the variability is sensitive to the property under consid-
eration and, in this respect, are in agreement with the existing lit-
erature [7].
In addition to presenting the results with the individual charac-
teristics, the multicriteria approach offers an in-depth analysis
drawing the link with the properties of the shiv type.
