Sustainability in the manufacture of different construction materials raises many important
issues. Nowadays, there is increasing demand for such materials to be produced using …

In the past decade, there has been an increase in the environmental performance
assessment in earth construction through the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. A …

There is a growing interest in raw earth as an eco-material of building for its local character
and the low energy consumption that characterizes its overall life cycle. This work evaluates …

This study investigates the engineering properties of compressed stabilized earth blocks
(CSEBs) incorporating crushed brick waste as alternative to soil-sand mixture as well as …

Modern economic, social and environmental challenges require a new type of construction
that ensures resilience, low construction costs and ease of maintenance. Material …

Masonry construction with interlocking bricks could effectively reduce construction time,
minimize labour cost and improve construction quality. Existing interlocking bricks are mostly …

Sustainable alternatives are increasingly demanded as a sound response, from the
construction industry, to the worldwide growing concerns with the environment. Such effort is …

In this study, blocks were manufactured from clay soil and alkali-activated binders. The soils
used were classified as A-4 and A7-5 according to ASTM D3282. The binder was produced …

Cement stabilized rammed earth construction using calcium-based materials (eg, Portland
cement), has been done for decades. However, consumption of Portland cement has …

The behavior of rubberized interlocking masonry walls is substantially influenced by the
properties of the waste materials used, which makes them behave differently from …
