Earthen construction is a sustainable alternative to conventional building materials due its low environmental impact; however, both mechanical strength and durability differ from materials. Different physical chemical stabilization techniques are used improve the properties of incorporated elements, although these increase carbon footprint. The present research focuses on studying mineral stabilization, specifically incorporation powdered steatite residues (PSRs) in matrices for manufacture earth blocks (EBs) their physical, thermal properties. Through an experimental study analyze EB, it established that use this as aggregate different studied registered following extreme values: reduction porosity by 27.43%, bulk density 3.73%, 58.91% dimensional variation, compressive 24.7% flexural 41.2%, 36.33% erosion, maximum value conductivity equal 1.48 W/(m·k). These results allow us establish PSRs stabilizer EBs contributes sustainability criteria provides improvements.

Rammed earth (RE) construction has gained increasing interest in recent years owing to sustainability demands the industry and advancement of digital fabrication techniques. However, domination cement-stabilized RE material poses environmental concerns due substantial carbon emissions associated with cement production. In this study, bio-based alternatives are investigated through evaluating xanthan gum (XG) animal glue (AG) as bio-binders for stabilization. Unconfined compressive strength tests conducted on XG AG-stabilized specimens mechanical performance evaluation, unstabilized samples baseline comparison. Results show that demonstrate a 294% improvement over RE, reaching 6.86 MPa at 28 days, while XG-stabilized achieve 221% improvement. specimens, however, exhibit susceptibility microbial proliferation. The findings from research AG have potential be viable mainstream methods, paving way advancing environmentally friendly construction.

Zusammenfassung Im Fokus des vorliegenden Beitrags liegt die Beschreibung, Analyse und Bewertung von vier verschiedenen Produktionsstrategien für Herstellung der formgepressten Lehmsteine: lokale Produktion, regionale überregionale Produktion globale Produktion. Bei den Varianten werden sowohl logistischen als auch ökologischen Aspekte jeweiligen Strategien beschrieben untersucht, um eine fundierte Grundlage Optimierung Material‐ Ressourceneffizienz zu schaffen. Ziel ist es, durch systematische Nachverfolgung Dokumentation einzelnen Produktions‐ Logistikschritte optimierte Herstellungsstrategie Lehmsteine erreichen. Darüber hinaus wird versucht, erste quantitative Annäherung an ökologische Sachbilanzstudie entlang gesamten Logistikprozesses erstellen. Dies ermöglicht einen Vergleich betrachteten hinsichtlich ihrer Bilanz. Die Ergebnisse sollen dabei helfen, Entscheidung einer optimierten Produktionsstrategie treffen.

Sustainability has become an important focus in the construction industry due to growing environmental concerns, resource depletion, and urgency reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The sector contributes significantly world’s carbon emissions energy consumption, making it a prime candidate for sustainable transformation. In response these challenges, there been shift towards utilizing earth-based products, especially earth blocks, as alternatives. Compressed stabilized blocks (CSEBs) are garnering increased attention because of their ability lower impact. These made from locally sourced materials, reducing transportation-related use. Their production processes typically require far less than traditional building which results reduced footprints. Earth also contribute sustainability through thermal performance, can enhance efficiency buildings by naturally regulating indoor temperatures. As result, artificial heating cooling is required, leading further savings. Furthermore, CSEBs other incorporate waste materials promoting circular economy efficiency. This paper explores multifaceted role conducting comprehensive systematic bibliometric analysis. By evaluating research trends, evolution field, broader impact this study aims provide deeper understanding contributions sustainability. Key areas include identifying prominent themes, emerging technologies, future opportunities incorporating into mainstream practices. approach aligns with vision advancing architecture green minimize pollution consumption while supporting transition built environment.

Rammed earth (RE), despite being an ancient method of construction, has smoothly integrated into contemporary civil engineering due to its compatibility with current sustainability requirements for housing structures. However, typical RE needs some improvements fully realize potential as both a structurally effective and environmentally friendly building technique. As result, multiple bio-inspired enhancement methods have been suggested substitute traditional cement or lime stabilizers. This review examines the various efforts made in past decade biologically stabilize natural soil construction RE. It provides brief overview different bio-based materials utilized this area but primarily concentrates on their effects mechanical strength water durability The also addresses obstacles that prevent widespread industrial adoption valuable earth-building identifies directions future research. Overall, available literature performance rammed (BRE) shows encouraging outcomes. Nonetheless, issues, such absence thorough data discussed topics, issues related inherent properties biomaterials, doubts regarding reliability evaluation methods, identified factors could lead lack confidence among practitioners adopting treatments. study will provide solid foundation researchers aiming advance BRE technology, thus enhancing within sector.
