Stabilized sludge blocks (SMBS) are manufactured by compacting a moistened mixture of soil, sand and stabilizer in a machine in a high density block. These blocks are used for the construction of load masonry. This paper focuses on some issues related to resistance of stabilized clay block masonry, both dry and wet, the resistance effect of five cement mortar mixtures and two mixed soil-cement mortars using stacked prisms. A systematic experimental investigation was carried out to know the parameters that affect the resistance of the masonry in cement mortar of different proportions and soil-cement mortar. Some of the main findings are: (a) wet compressive strength of stabilized clay blocks and masonry prisms are less than dry strength, (b) wet and dry resistance of these prisms decreases with Decrease in mortar strength.
Mud walls have been used for buildings since ancient times. Mud wall buildings can be seen all over the world and mud building techniques are still in vogue in many parts of the world. Cob wall, adobe, rammed earth, and wattle and daub are some of the common techniques of building mud walls. The use of mud for the construction of the wall has distinct advantages. The clay is easily available locally, low cost, recyclable and environmentally friendly and provides better thermal comfort than other materials. The main drawbacks of mud walls are the greater wall thickness, the loss of strength in saturation and erosion due to the impact of rainfall. These drawbacks can be minimized (or) eliminated using soil stabilization techniques. Stabilized clay blocks are produced through soil stabilization processes. Stabilized clay blocks can be prepared by compacting a wet mixture of soil and cement in a machine. Also known as compressed earth blocks (or) blocks of soil-cement when only cement is used as a binder.
