Drying Induced Cracking of Raw Earth Plaster -- Bio and Geo Sourced Additives Influence on the Hygrothermal Properties of Earth Plaster Derived from Excavated Soil in Reunion Island -- Rammed earth building contribution of moisture transfer on indoor comfort -- RILEM contribution to earthen building -- Soil stabilization with Brazilian iron ore tailings to produce rammed earth -- Workmanship impact on raw earth masonry tensile strength.

This book gathers the peer-reviewed papers presented at the Second RILEM International Conference on Earthen Construction (ICEC), held in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, on July 8–10, 2024. It highlights the latest advances and innovations in the field of con earth-based building materials and construction. The conference topics encompass material characterisation and quality control, hydro-mechanical behaviour, reinforcement behaviour, seismic behaviour, in situ and field testing, additive manufacturing (3D printing), rheology, biostabilisation, molecular simulation, microstructure, durability, fire performance, hygro-thermal behaviour, life cycle analysis, climate change adaptation, economic impacts, and earthen architecture. As such, the book represents an invaluable, up-to-the-minute tool, and offers an important platform to engineers, architects, and geophysicists.
