An experimental investigation on unreinforced And reinforced compressed stabilized earth Blocks and walls

Abstract

Affordable housing is one of the major challenges faced by many economies around the newlineglobe especially developing countries. Hollow interlocking compressed stabilized earth newlineblocks (ICSEBs) have been identified as a low-cost alternative building material in recent newlinedecades with great potential to offer a safe, sustainable and economical solution to newlineaffordable housing problem. However, the use of ICSEB construction is restricted by newlinelimited understanding of structural behavior and a lack of design specifications. newline
