The application of non-renewable building materials including concrete and metals in construction industries have caused a major impact on the environment including the destruction of more than 45% of the global resources, the consumption of 35% of energy and nearly 40% of energy-related emissions (UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on Global 2012). In order to help in reducing these extending impacts, the building sector started considering three reduction of these dreadful impacts through increasing the environmentally-friendly building materials with Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites (NFRP), specially through WPCs (Wood Polymer Composites) since the 90s. The use of natural fibers in composites form in the building sector is historically applied since the phrase time when straw and mud were mixed to form the first known bricks in history. After the discovery of cement, it became the largest dominant material in the industry till our current time, in spite of its huge environmental damage. Natural fibres (NF) have been mostly applied in non-structural applications. Accordingly, this paper discusses applying reinforcement scenarios in the form of novel core and veneer reinforcement to enhance a load-bearing capacity to reach to improved mechanical properties that could enable building a demo- shell construction system. In this research natural fiber reinforced polymer composite (NFRP) produced from agricultural residues in the form of straw fibres (SF) mixed with three different types of polymers including (polylactide (PLA), a TPE (Thermoplastic elastic polymer) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE)) were developed through extrusion processes, then laminated or veneered to elevate the material properties needed to be reached to apply in load-bearing structures. The thermoplastic elastic polymers (TPE) were applied to enhance elasticity and flexibility in reaching sophisticated geometries. The mechanical strength was controlled by veneering. The targeted and reached material properties were applied in structural simulations that were later used in predicting the structural performance of a physical experimental shell construction that were built to validate the settled hypothesis of reinforcement of elastic/semi-elastic lignocellulosic cores to be applied in load-bearing systems. The paper will highlight the material samples development and testing, followed by an analysis and interpretation to the possibility of usage and appliance in load-bearing structures. Finally, the physical built demonstrator in the form of the experimental shell construction is shortly illustrated to showcase the validity of the settled hypothesis.
