Description

Rammed Earth Structures: A Code of Practice provides a comprehensive guide to achieving high standards in rammed earth construction. This economical and low-carbon building material has been used for centuries, offering strong, durable, safe, and desirable buildings at an affordable cost. To ensure the best results, it is essential to select and test soils correctly, protecting walls from water damage and shrinkage. The book outlines the criteria on which rammed earth structures and building techniques can be judged, providing a valuable resource for those looking to employ this method in construction projects worldwide. The standards described in Rammed Earth Structures have been adopted as a Building Standard in Zimbabwe, and further progress is being made to extend its use across Africa and beyond. This updated edition makes it an important guide for architects, builders, and developers seeking to incorporate rammed earth into their work.
