The application of agricultural waste or efficient chemicals in reinforced earth blocks has been extensive and continues to be so, aiming to increase their resistance to external forces and fluvial erosion. One of the agricultural residues that has been implemented in raw earth masonry is cassava peel fiber, which absorbs less water but does not contribute to mechanical strength. Lime has been investigated as a solution to this problem, and it has been found that at optimal quantities, it can provide favorable mechanical properties. In this research, the goal is to analyze the mechanical behavior and water resistance of stabilized earth blocks reinforced with different percentages of cassava peel fiber and lime. To do this, the appropriate soil location was identified according to the E-080 standard, which was found in Guanabal based on field and laboratory tests. A block mix design was then developed with 10% lime and partial soil replacement with 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% cassava peel fiber for testing the properties of the earth blocks. After conducting the tests, the optimal fiber percentage that exhibited the best physical and mechanical properties was determined. Based on this, the same value was replaced with fiber ash to compare whether ash or fiber is more optimal for application in the blocks. Compression tests on piles, indirect tensile tests on small walls, and simulated flood resistance tests on walls were conducted on these two units and a control sample. The results indicated that ash provides slightly superior mechanical properties compared to cassava peel fiber. However, in terms of simulated flood resistance, cassava peel fiber proved to be superior. Therefore, the use of cassava peel fiber in blocks is promoted, considering its sintering process, a topic that would benefit from further research.
