Fracture Energy of Stabilised Rammed Earth
Procedia Materials Science, 2014 AbstractUnstabilised rammed earth (RE) is the name given to both a construction method and a material that has been used by Man for thousands of years. Recently, it has received renewed interest as the desire for sustainable construction methods has increased, as it commonly uses subsoil from the construction site, hence reducing waste and transport ...
