    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Characterization of soils used in earthen building materials -- Chapter 2: Role of soil suction in the engineering behavior of earthen building materials -- Chapter 3: Stabilizers for earthen building materials -- Chapter 4: Characteristics of cement stabilized and cement +wood ash stabilized compressed earth blocks -- Chapter 5: Stabilization of adobes by plant fibers -- Chapter 6: Stabilization of adobes by cow dung particles -- Chapter 7: General conclusions.
    Abstract: Increased environmental and energy concerns have renewed global interest in raw earth as a building material. Low-energy requirements, low-cost, high availability at construction sites, and favorable engineering properties make (EBMs) an attractive alternative to conventional cement-based construction materials. Though the use of native binders to improve soil properties has garnered attention in recent literature, the available knowledge has not been covered in a single document. This book highlights the key soil properties that determine the mechanical performance of earthen building materials, importance of unsaturated soil mechanics in the engineering behavior of earthen building materials, the different types of stabilizers used to improve the engineering performance of earthen building materials including the use of select native binders, the characteristics of compressed earth blocks stabilized with cement and cement + wood ash additives and the improvement in the engineering properties of adobes stabilized with plant fibers and cow dung. .

    GeomInt–Mechanical Integrity of Host Rocks (2021)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Geotechnical engineering. ; Engineering geology. ; Geology. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. ; Geoengineering. ; Geology.
    Description / Table of Contents: 1. Introduction to GeomInt -- 2. Experimental Platform -- 3. Numerical Platform -- 4.Model-Experiment-Exercises (MEX) -- 5. Data Management -- 6. Synthesis and Outlook -- 7. Code Descriptions.
    Abstract: This open access book summarizes the results of the collaborative project “GeomInt: Geomechanical integrity of host and barrier rocks - experiment, modeling and analysis of discontinuities” within the Program: Geo Research for Sustainability (GEO: N) of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The use of geosystems as a source of resources, a storage space, for installing underground municipal or traffic infrastructure has become much more intensive and diverse in recent years. Increasing utilization of the geological environment requires careful analyses of the rock–fluid systems as well as assessments of the feasibility, efficiency and environmental impacts of the technologies under consideration. The establishment of safe, economic and ecological operation of underground geosystems requires a comprehensive understanding of the physical, (geo)chemical and microbiological processes on all relevant time and length scales. This understanding can only be deepened on the basis of intensive laboratory and in-situ experiments in conjunction with reliable studies on the modeling and simulation (numerical experiments) of the corresponding multi-physical/chemical processes. The present work provides a unique handbook for experimentalists, modelers, analysts and even decision makers concerning the characterization of various types of host rocks (salt, clay, crystalline formations) for various geotechnical applications.
