A Procedure to Measure the in-Situ Hygrothermal Behavior of Earth Walls

A Procedure to Measure the in-Situ Hygrothermal Behavior of Earth Walls

Rammed earth is a sustainable material with low embodied energy. However, its development as a building material requires a better evaluation of its moisture-thermal buffering abilities and its mechanical behavior. Both of these properties are known to strongly depend on the amount of water containe...
