Earthen Materials and Earthen Structures
Earthen structuresEarthen structures are spread across the world, and still a large population is living in earthen dwellings. HistoryHistoryof buildingBuilding with earth or soil is not documented systematically. There are many attempts to document and display the examples of earthen structuresStructure in the past. This chapter traces the history of earthen structures including the modern earth building techniques, compressed earth block and rammed earth buildings. A detailed discussion on the present codes/standards on earth building is presented. Also, the chapter touches upon the energy, emissions and environmental aspects of earthen structures and provides a list of existing codes/standards.
