Earth Bricks with Halloysite Nanoclay: Research and Experimentation for the Sustainability of Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper illustrates the experimentation activities on rammed earth and nanotechnologies. The experimental research was carried out with the aim of improving the performance of rammed earth bricks with clay nanotubes, creating a ‘new material’ with reduced embodied energy and low CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere. Specifically, the analysed performances are related to the compressive strength that expand their area of use as a building material.
