Lime-Crusted Rammed Earth: Materials Study [PDF]
Advanced Materials Research, 2013 This study analyses the durability of rammed-earth wall construction techniques. The analysis focuses on three medieval masonry types from the Castle of Villavieja (Castellón, Spain) using two variations of lime-reinforced rammed earth in its walls: lime-crusted rammed earth and brick-reinforced rammed earth.

Complex conductivity of rammed earth [PDF]
Engineering Geology, 2020 Abstract Searching for recyclable materials of construction, in the objective of building sobriety and resilience, is a major issue of our current societies. Mudbricks of compacted rammed earth represent an ancient construction material with many advantages associated with its availability, cost of production, potential reuse, and with a very low ...
