Implication

Experimental assessment reveals superior hygrothermal performance in compressed earth block walls, suggesting sustainability benefits in tropical regions.

Key Points

DFCL demonstrated significant compressive strength of about 10 MPa, nearly double that of DF's 6 MPa.
DFCL exhibited the highest thermal attenuation factor of 2.24 and a hygroscopic attenuation factor of 2.05.
The study involved testing four different formulations of compressed earth blocks in a bi-climatic cell.
The findings highlight potential environmental benefits by reducing Portland cement consumption through the use of local materials.
