A study on the effects of weathering on limestone based compressed earth blocks (CEBs)

This study focuses on the durability of limestone-based Compressed Earth blocks due to weathering and no durability due to repetitive loading. Proportions of admixtures (Flexseal Elastomer, Sahara Waterproofing, Fibrin 23, and Acrybond Polymer) were varied to come up with different mixes. There were...
