For , Blazewicz et al. [3] and Hoogeveen et al. [4] showed that P3|fixj|Cmax is non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) in the strong sense by a reduction from 3-Partition problem.
This was improved later to ratio 5/4 by Dell’Olmo et al. [5].
Recently, Jeon et al. [1] suggested an online algorithm for P3|online,fixj,rj|Cmax.

Similar work exists (Jaquin et al., 2008) (Miccoli et al., 2014) and generally it was observed that both compressive strength and Young’s modulus decreases with increases in water content.
(Chauhan et al., 2019) and (François et al., 2017) performed experiments to study the behavior of rammed earth with the point of view of unsaturated soil mechanics.
This is known as stage 1 of drying and is associated with a constant drying rate period (Hall et al, 1984) .
The DIC data processing was performed with 7D software developed by the laboratory SYMME (Vacher et al.,1999).

In this context, the study by Abid et al. [9] highlighted the significance of using nonlinear viscous dampers and their effect on improving the dynamic behavior of structures, particularly in response to seismic excitations.
Specifically, Rahmouni et al. [4] used a finite element model to investigate nonlinear vibrations in beams and showed excellent agreement between numerical and analytical results.

These results were supported with those obtained by Bari et al. (2018) who stated that the natural fibers can be protected from fungal degradation by making them less hygroscopic and less susceptible to fungal enzymes.
The same behavior was noted by Mohareb et al. (2015) who found a considerable fungal resistant for the reinforced biopolymer composites using thermoplastic polyester polymer with flax and jute fabrics [21].
