Compressed stabilized earth block: environmentally sustainable alternative for villages housing

Abstract Construction materials contribute to environmental pollution and the impoverishment of natural raw materials. The villages of Upper Egypt were exposed to high thermal loads owing to their geographical location. Moreover, the current building materials do not comply with the principles of su...
