This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of research on the utilization of fibers
(predominantly derived from waste materials) as reinforcement in adobe brick production …

This paper presents a study on the durability of different types of stabilised and unstabilised
rammed earth walls. These rammed earth walls were constructed and exposed for 20 years …

This study compares the environmental impacts of earthen plasters (based on clay) with
those of conventional industrial plasters (based on cement or hydraulic lime) from a life cycle …

Present study focuses on improvement of compressive strength properties of adobe
popularly used in rural houses in district Hamirpur of state Himachal Pradesh of north India …

In this study, the impact of passive design parameters such as building shape and
orientation position on heating demand has been theoretically investigated. Therefore, a …

Nowadays, rammed earth construction is attracting renewed interest throughout the world
thanks to its “green” characteristics in the context of sustainable development. Firstly, using a …

Low durability and compressive strength of adobe blocks leads to frequent maintenance
problem associated with rural house wall construction. This forms the main reason of …

Suitable experimental methodologies for determining the hygrothermal properties of
stabilised rammed earth (SRE) materials have been presented along with comparative …

In rainy climates, the external surfaces of earthen buildings suffer water erosion. In this
paper, the properties of earth plasters have been investigated considering the specific …
