Abstract:The environmental durability of earthen materials is among the main factors that limit their widespread acceptance in the contemporary building sector. This study assesses the performances of compressed earth blocks (CEBs) before and after exposure to the wetting-drying (WD) cycles and high temperature. The CEBs were produced from kaolinite-rich earth material stabilized with lime-rich residue (5%-25%) or the lime substituted with rice husk ash, lime:ash (20:0%-12:8%) or cement (4%-8%), with respect to the mas… Show more
