Earth is gradually gaining popularity as a structural material due to the desirable properties that can be obtained with various stabilization techniques. Cement stabilized rammed earth is one such application which can offer many advantages such as walls that will not need any mortar or plaster. The wider application of this material for walls of single and two storey houses will need strength and durability characteristics. The strength parameters relevant to compressive and flexural behaviours wore found using a detailed experimental study using wall panels. The durability characteristics were tested with panels soaked in water for 24 hours. The applications of above parameters for single and IWD storey houses were highlighted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
