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 ...

Modelling the Structural Behaviour of Rammed Earth Components [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2014 The rammed earth technique has a significant presence in the earthen built heritage, where it served to build from simple dwellings to fortresses. However, the high vulnerability of rammed earth constructions to decay agents and to seismic events puts at risk their further existence and the lives of millions of people.

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 ...
