Abstract :
[en] Alternative construction materials can allow the modern built environment to abide by sustainability and circularity. This snapshot review highlights some advances made in the stabilization of compressed earth blocks (CEB) using alternative binders in the context of Burkina Faso. The review put forward the considerations of the reactivity and processing of earth materials and binders to produce stabilized CEB. Moreover, it highlights the effects of the changes at chemico-micro-scale of materials to the macro-scale densification, strengthening, and hardening of stabilized CEB. Furthermore, it relates the physical and mechanical properties through the coefficient of structural efficiency and correlates the resistance to surface abrasion with the resistance to bulk compression of stabilized CEB. This could later be extended to the structural efficiency of CEB masonry and allow to easily assess the strength from the quasi-non-destructive test of abrasion.
