Singularité du Bois Borassus Aéthiopum par sa physiologie

Among the traditional building materials in Togo, the Borassus Aéthiopum or Rônier is one of the most widely used. The singularity of this wood made it famous because of its resistance to xylophages and to the various inclement weather. But the determining factors of this resistance are unknown. This work aims to show the singularity of this wood under different observation angles. In this work, we study the physiology of this wood. We will observe samples taken at different locations under different scales. In view of the results obtained, we decide on the particularity of this wood. The rônier is made of detachable fibers

Dataset of the use of tannin of néré (parkia-biglobosa) as a solution for the sustainability of the soil constructions in West Africa

Soil is the main material of construction in African rural areas. Sustainability of construction with soil is a thorny problem to any builder. Finding ways to improve the durability of soil is not only essential but also salutary for the African rural community that mostly lives in soil-built houses that are very often short-lived. The present data assessed the resistance to simple compression and the resistance to bad weather by simulating rainfall alternations through a test of cycles of alternate watering and drying of blocks built from four types of different soils without binder, along with blocks built from the same soils.
