Abstract |
|
In order to minimize the environmental impacts caused by over exploitation of natural resources for the production of building material, the possibility of using cement stabilized rammed earth for load-bearing walls has been assessed. In this paper, we discuss about the characteristics strength of rammed earth materials i.e. vertical load carrying capacity by compressive strength test, tensile strength inside a compaction layer by splitting test and bend strength by flexural strength test with three commonly available soil types in Yeola. We also used cement as stabilizer material for increasing strength. At the end of study, we concluded that soil sample 3 (Reddish brown soil) gave better results in all characteristics strength properties. |
