“…Indeed, this former is mostly constituted by structures made of unstabilised earth, even for areas subject to heavy rains (Northern Europe). As a consequence, while it is true that in some countries, the temptation to accelerate the strengthening of the material by the addition of hydraulic binders can be justified for industrial production rates [6] or for maintenance purposes [2,[7][8], an understanding review should not overshadow the research that is ongoing on un-stabilised earth constructions. An illustration of the significant importance of taking into consideration both stabilised and unstabilised materials is given in Germany, which is regularly used as a reference by the authors in their review.…”

“…Rammed earth construction techniques have gained much popularity across the world, due to its varied sustainable benefits such as availability of construction soil locally, low consumption of energy, easy construction procedure, eco-friendly etc., (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Study on properties of soil, its suitability, and behaviour of structural rammed earth elements such as walls, columns etc., have been made (1,2,4,5,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). Further, in the literature use of 5-10% cement for the construction of cement stabilised rammed earth (CSRE) has been reported (3,4,14,(19)(20)(21).…”

This paper presents an experimental study on the behavior of cement stabilized rammed earth (CSRE) column reinforced with steel under axial loading and its comparison with unreinforced and bamboo reinforced columns. Effects of structural parameters such as tie / stirrup spacing on the failure pattern, lateral and axial deformation of columns are studied. Test results show that the load-capacity of columns increases with increase in lateral / tie reinforcement ratio. Maximum axial and lateral deformations occur in columns with least tie spacing. Behavior of CSRE columns reinforced with close tie spacing is characterized by gradual spalling of cover at the failure zone. Steel reinforced columns perform better than other column types in terms of load-capacity; hence it may be used as structural member adjacent to walls for low-rise rammed earth houses. Proposed reinforcement technique can be adopted in the field for enhancement of greater strength and performance of columns.

Rammed earth (RE) constructions are widespread in underdeveloped rural areas in developing countries. However, these RE constructions are often susceptible to earthquake damage due to their poor seismic performance. Precast concrete tie columns and ring beam (tie bars) were proposed to improve the seismic behavior of RE constructions. Four RE walls, including a traditional RE wall and three RE walls with precast concrete tie columns and ring beam (tie bars), were tested under reversed cyclic loading, and the seismic behavior of these tested specimens was evaluated in terms of failure pattern, energy dissipation, displacement ductility, and stiffness degradation. e results showed that a significant increase of the load-bearing and deformation capacity could be achieved with the application of precast concrete tie columns in combination with RE. e load-bearing capacity and deformation capacity of traditional RE wall were increased by an average of 113% and 417%, respectively. ese test results could provide reference to the design and construction of the environmental-friendly structures in rural areas.
