Rammed Earth House Construction

Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1985
An elementary analysis for calculation of stresses in a rammed earth house is presented. The analysis permits calculation of safe wall height, and an examination of safety of these structures. It is observed that the usual wall thickness is quite safe; the thickness can be reduced by at least a third without endangering safety and this can lead to a ...

Rammed Earth Construction: A Sustainable Architecture

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
Abstract. Present concerns for sustainable development have led to a revival of Rammed earth construction using natural or recycled resources. In human history, rammed earth constructions has a long history and wide application. The rammed earth construction is a symbol of the coexistence between mankind and nature, and especially with today’s energy ...

Rammed Earth: Construction Lessons from Experience

Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction, 2013
AbstractIf modern engineers devote careful attention to the environment of a project and study historical building techniques they can create more sustainable structures. Rammed-earth construction creates a thermal mass structure that cools the interior space during hot, dry summers and absorbs heat during cold winters. It is a historic building method

Environmental assessment of rammed earth construction systems

Structural Survey, 2001
Present concerns for sustainable development have led to a revival of traditional building practices using natural or recycled resources. There is a perception that buildings constructed from such materials are environmentally benign. This perception is questionable, as often no evaluation is undertaken to assess the associated environmental impacts ...
