Abstract


Ferricrete-bearing lateritic soils are promising geomaterials for unfired masonry because their iron-oxide-rich mineralogy can improve strength and durability while supporting low-temperature construction. This systematic review examines how ferricrete mineralogy, particularly hematite-goethite balance and textural class, influences the hydro-mechanical performance of unfired lateritic masonry through a structured synthesis of published studies on mineralogy, microstructure, stabilization, curing, and durability. The reviewed evidence shows that higher ferricrete indices are generally associated with greater compressive strength, lower water absorption, reduced sorptivity, and improved resistance to wetting-related degradation when compatible binder systems and controlled curing conditions promote gel-oxide interlocking and pore-network refinement. However, the same ferricrete-related densification may also increase brittleness if compaction, gradation, and curing are not adjusted to the source material. The findings indicate that ferricrete-bearing lateritic soils should be evaluated as performance-based geomaterials rather than as a single material class defined only by origin. Overall, their wider engineering use depends on standardized ferricrete characterization, qualification-oriented durability testing, and field validation under service-relevant environmental conditions.

Keywords
