Abstract
This study tests the compressive strength and durability of rammed earth samples made from five local Yazd soils. The effect of lime stabilisation at different ratios was examined. Adding 6 per cent lime more than doubled compressive strength. The results support the use of rammed earth for low-rise buildings in the region.
