“…Meanwhile, many types of research have been conducted on avoiding the use of cement or concrete in walling materials as its effect on the thermal comfort of the occupants due to the gypsum content [20]. The inclusion of polymeric substances has been one of the prominent recommendations for enhancing the general performance of concrete, especially cement and asphalt concretes [21]. Therefore, many effective polymeric latex substances have attracted the focus in order to develop and use them in respect of cement concrete in the construction industry [11].…”

Cement is one of the key stabilizers for earth constructions since Roman civilization. The invention of cement was one step in the human civilization. However, cement has many issues especially when it comes to the environmental conservation. The production of cement creates a lot of carbon dioxide and destroys the natural setting to some extent due to the high consumption of clay and lime. Therefore, this study was conducted to alter the cement in mud concrete block. The study started with an inventory of alternative stabilizers that can be found in nature as well as in the human production. And then, the chemical patterns of those stabilizers were carefully identified to alter the typical Portland cement. Several mix proportions were tested and developed to alter the cement and found that the following materials can be developed to alter cement. A natural stabilizer such as tree resins, latex rubber stabilizer, waste ash, rice husk ash and many other ashes can be developed to chemically stabilize the earth blocks. However, out of the invented stabilizers, fly ash and rice husk ash have the high potential to replace cement.
