Geotechnical characterisation of recycled biopolymer-stabilised earthen materials (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Muguda, S., Hughes, P., Augarde, C., Perlot, C., Bruno, A., & Gallipoli, D. (2019). Geotechnical characterisation of recycled biopolymer-stabilised earthen materials.

Earthen structures (i.e. structural units manufactured from soil) are often regarded as sustainable forms of construction due to their characteristically low carbon footprint. Unstabilised earthen materials can easily be recycled or disposed, however... Read More about Geotechnical characterisation of recycled biopolymer-stabilised earthen materials.

Advances in the Use of Biological Stabilisers and Hyper-compaction for Sustainable Earthen Construction Materials (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Muguda, S., Lucas, G., Hughes, P., Augarde, C., Cuccurullo, A., Bruno, A. W., …Gallipoli, D. (2019). Advances in the Use of Biological Stabilisers and Hyper-compaction for Sustainable Earthen Construction Materials. In B. V. Reddy, M. Mani, & P. Walker (Eds.), Earthen dwellings and structures (191-201). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-13-5883-8_17

In the majority of cases, earthen construction materials for real buildings require amendment to deliver suitable material properties, which could be some additional strength or resilience to erosion. In modern earthen construction, in India, Austral... Read More about Advances in the Use of Biological Stabilisers and Hyper-compaction for Sustainable Earthen Construction Materials.
