Earth block is a construction material made primarily from soil. Compressed earth blocks have been widely used to construct many older structures which was found more economical. The present study involves the use of different admixtures which can improve the compressive strength of the pressed composite earth brick. As soil is abundant in nature, the compressed earth bricks can be manufactured in large quantity. By using this method, buildings of uniform component sizes can be made which leads to faster construction with lesser cost. The surface of building can be finished with clay mortar or cement mortar.
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.
