Rammed Earth has many advantages over common building techniques as follows:
It is widely available.
It has a low cost.
It is sustainable resource.
The construction using earth has a minimal environmental impact.
It viable and suitable for low income builders.
Unskilled labor can do most of the necessary work in construction.
Rammed earth has a high thermal mass; it can absorb heat during the day and release it at night. This moderates daily temperature variations and reduces the need for air conditioning and heating.
Aim of the Project
The main goal of this project is to check whether the soil available in this country can be used in rammed earth technique or not. In addition to that the project will find out the optimum percentage of clay cement mixture that will give the most appropriate properties of soil to be used as rammed earth. This project includes experimental tests as well as theoretical analysis of the results.
