Read MoreWhile in general. building construction so based l blocks may be used as a substitute for bricks, their use should be avoided in the case of isolated load bearing columns, piers and such other heavily loaded structures. 0.2.1 This standard was first published in 1960. Based onfurther studies conducted, his revision has been prepared.
Read MoreThe use of earth as a building material, in different forms, such as unburnt and burnt bricks, rammed earth, mud blocks, and soil blocks, is a common practice globally. This study is focused on soil blocks stabilized with cement which are referred to as Cement Stabilized Earth Blocks (CSEBs). The strength and durability of CSEBs are primarily ...
