Soil-based construction materials are of interest as structural building materials due to their green credentials, as well as being present in many historical structures. For effective conservation of the latter, and to motivate greater uptake for ne... Read More about Mechanical properties of biopolymer-stabilised soil-based construction materials.

Potential Use of Enzymes in the Preparation of Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (2017)
Journal Article
Muguda Viswanath, S., & Nagaraj, H. B. (2017). Potential Use of Enzymes in the Preparation of Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks. Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 29(9), Article 04017103. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%29mt.1943-5533.0001947

Compressed stabilized earth blocks (CSEBs) prepared with an enzyme along with a combination of cement and lime have been shown to have a nearly 50% increase in wet compressive strength after two years of aging compared with blocks prepared without en...
