The content has been divided into four broad themes which includes an introduction to earth construction & stabilised earth, stabilised compressed earth blocks and masonry, stabilised rammed earth, and energy, carbon emissions, sustainability and case studies. It provides basic introduction to earthen materials and earthen structures, particularly with reference to the contemporary work on stabilised earth products for structural applications in buildings. The illustrations in the form of graphs, tables and photographs help the reader to get a grip over the CEB and RE construction. The book illustrates many case studies and examples of CEB and RE buildings. The knowledge on structural characteristics of CEB and RE especially with reference to the durability of such earthen products, and the structural design aspects is uniquely dealt. The embodied energy, embodied carbon, and the impact on construction sector touching upon sustainability of buildings is another unique feature of the book. This volume will be a useful guide for the research community, teachers, engineers, architects, building professionals, practicing engineers, students and individuals aspiring to build low carbon and sustainable buildings. 410 0$aSpringer Transactions in Civil and Environmental Engineering,$x2363-7641 606 $aBuildings$xDesign and construction 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aEnvironmental engineering 606 $aCivil engineering 606 $aBuilding Construction and Design 606 $aBuilding Materials 606 $aEnvironmental Civil Engineering 615 0$aBuildings$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aCivil engineering. 615 14$aBuilding Construction and Design. 615 24$aBuilding Materials. 615 24$aEnvironmental Civil Engineering. 676 $a693.2 700 $aVenkatarama Reddy$b B.
