Holistic Comparison of Bio-Stabilized Rammed Earth for Building Construction
Rammed earth (RE) walls are built by compacting soil into formwork layer by layer. Clay is the only binder in the mixture that compacted at optimum water content provides a load-bearing material. Adding cement to the soil can improve the durability and the mechanical performances of RE, with consequent increment of the environmental impact and ...
