Effect of Different Mix Compositions on Compressed Stabilized Earth Block Strength
Abstract: Climate change and global warming are pressing issues exacerbated by the rapid expansion of theworld's population and its housing needs. Traditional construction materials contribute significantly toenvironmental degradation through the generation of dust, solid waste, hazardous gases, and highenergy consumption. In response, this study focuses on exploring environmentally sustainablealternatives, with a particular emphasis on compressed stabilized earth blocks (CSEB). CSEBs aremasonry units formed by compacting soil, stabilizers, and water. This research …
