 — Compressed Earth Blocks: Adobe mixtures can also be used to make compressed earth blocks or "CEBs". To make compressed earth blocks, a manual or mechanical press compacts or presses the adobe mixture to form uniform and sturdy bricks. Builders commonly "stabilize" the mixes for CEBs by using a small percentage (10% or …

 — This article studies the performance improvement of four properties, i.e. drying shrinkage, compressive strength, water absorption and abrasion resistance of Compressed Earth Blocks (CEB) by the addition of 3 different types of aggregates (limestone, sandstone and porphyry). Five soils selected from Belgian active quarries …

Compressed earth blocks (CEBs) are one of the most widespread earthen building techniques. They represent a modern descendent of the moulded earth block, commonly called as the adobe block [7]. The compaction of earth improves the quality and performance of the blocks [4] but also promotes several environmental, social, and …

The objective of this work is to improve the behaviour of stabilised blocks of earth blocks against water attacks. The blocks manufactured with one type of earth were tested in …

construction techniques are viable to be industrialised. It is expected that compressed earth blocks (CEB), are the earth construction technique most likely to be accepted by modern …

 — Lime-stabilized blocks can be used for single-story buildings, while the combination of lime and cement stabilizers helped to obtain higher compressive strengths than that of lime alone.

A compressed earth block also known as pressed earth block or compressed soil block, is a building material made primarily from damp soil compressed at high pressure to form blocks. If the blocks are stabilized with a chemical binder such as Portland cement they are called Compressed stabilized earth block (CSEB) or

CEB can be compressed in many different shapes and sizes. For example, the Auram press 3000 can make 70 different blocks using only 18 moulds. Compressed earth blocks can be stabilised or not. But most of the times, they are stabilised with cement or lime. Therefore, we prefer today to call them Compressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB).

 — The chemical stabilization of compressed earth bricks (CEB) by geopolymer binders appears nowadays as an ecological and efficient technique for the production of durable earth bricks. This work aims to evaluate the feasibility of stabilizing clayey soil-based compressed earth blocks with calcined kaolinite-based alkali-activated binder. …

 — The lifespan of compressed earth blocks is a dynamic interplay of various factors including composition, local climate, and maintenance practices. With proper design, construction, and upkeep, CEBs have the potential to endure for generations. Their innate durability, sustainability, and low environmental impact make them an appealing choice ...

 — 1. Introduction. Soils can be used to produce unfired Compressed Earth Blocks (CEB) with ecological, thermal and economic advantages [1].However, the lifetime of raw earth blocks is limited by parameters such as moisture and low abrasion resistance [1].Stabilization is a process which improves the permeability (water resistance), the …
