Testing and Characterisation of Earth-based Building Materials and Elements

State-of-the-Art Report of the RILEM TC 274-TCE
Langbeschreibung
This book presents the work done by the RILEM Technical Committee 274-TCE. It focuses on the estimation of the parameters which are necessary to properly design earthen constructions. It provides a compilation of the value classically obtained for the key parameters of earthen materials, a pedagogical presentation of the main testing procedures for earthen materials, their advantage and their drawback and an overview of most standards on earthen materials, whatever their origin and their language.
