The water was modified according to the optimum moisture content (OMC) determined in each of the The mixture used to manufacture the blocks was prepared by stabilized soil mixtures. adding the cementitious binders to the soil in a proportion of To prepare the blocks stabilized, the soil was (passing sieve #4, 50% by weight of dry soil.
The 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 ...
Suitable soil type should have a clay content of between 15% and 35%. High-clay soils will require the addition of sand and a higher cement content to prevent blocks from cracking. Low clay soil may not suficiently bind the block without additives. Each m3 of soil produces approximately 110 blocks. 20 m3 of soil are needed to produce 2,200 ISSB ...

Stabilised mud blocks, or stabilised compressed earth blocks are other names for stabilised soil blocks (SSBs). Processed soil that is mixed with stabiliser and water compacted into a dense block (Fig. 13.2) can be termed an SSBpaction is carried out at optimum moisture content (OMC) (though not necessarily at Standard …

This soil was stabilized using 4% and 10% OPC for manufacture of blocks of size 19 cm × 9 cm × 9 cm. The blocks were admixed with 4%, 6%, and 8% SBA by weight of dry soil during casting, with plain OPC stabilized blocks acting as control. All blocks were cast to one target density and water content followed by moist curing for a period of 28 ...
The study involved investigating the performance of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) stabilized soil blocks amended with sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA). Locally available soil was tested for its properties and characterized as clay of medium plasticity.
This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the compressive strength of different types of compressed stabilized earth block. 101 Compressed Earth Block specimen were prepared to consist of 9 different type of …

Construction materials contribute to environmental pollution and the impoverishment of natural raw materials. The villages of Upper Egypt were exposed to high thermal loads owing to their geographical location. Moreover, the current building materials do not comply with the principles of sustainability and environmental adaptation of the …

This document provides the African Regional Standards (ARS) for compressed stabilized earth blocks (CSEB), a low-cost and environmentally friendly building material. It covers the requirements for the raw materials, the production process, and the construction methods of CSEB. It also gives guidance on quality control, testing, and certification of CSEB.
Area Building Code Standards Vol. 7:1995 does not say much on these requirements. All it specifies is that adobe and stabilized soil blocks should be made of clay soil. And soil with high drying shrinkage (black cotton soil) should be avoided. Many countries also do not have standards for soil block building construction.
these factors, Stabilized Compressed Earth blocks (SCEB) for wall masonry was proposed in the region. SCEB has been introduced in Kamad village, Uttarkashi – the region was assessed for the availability of raw materials, primarily good quality soil for block production in the village.
