Alternative Building Material for Risk Reduction

This research provides detailed technical information on suitable earth construction such as stabilized earth blocks production. These include information on suitable soil types for stabilized earth house construction, stabilizers and production of stabilized earth blocks. Related literatures review show that soil types, proportions between soil and stabilizer amount and compaction pressure applied to the moist soil mix affects the quality of the stabilized earth block. Tests were conducted on these samples in order to evaluate their performance such as compressive strength, total water absorption & split test on which the durability of the blocks depend.
