Most of the buildings in developing countries are made out of low quality traditional adobe bricks. These materials, however, do not have sufficient strength and durability. In the previous study, basic physical properties of unstabilized adobe were clarified. In this paper, effect of stabilization on adobe brick by addition of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) has been investigated. It is concluded that there is possibility of both strength improvement and dimensional stability by adding small amount of OPC, and water curing can improve both strength and durability of cement stabilized adobe. |
