Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Book excerpt: Ramming earth has been a method of construction for centuries in many parts of the world and the technique can produce buildings that are strong, durable, safe and desirable. Because earth is an abundant and cheap resource, rammed earth buildings are often very economical. To achieve the best results the right techniques for the selection and testing of soils must be used to protect walls from water damage and shrinkage. This book aims to show how high standards can be achieved and the criteria on which rammed earth structures and building techniques can be judged. Since the fi rst edition of this book was published, the standards described in Rammed Earth Structures has been adopted as a Building Standard in Zimbabwe. Further progress is being made extending the use of rammed earth as an officially sanctioned building material across all SADC countries. This book is now therefore becoming an important guide and resource for those wishing to employ this economical and low-carbon building material in the construction of public as well as private buildings in Africa and elsewhere.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le béton figure parmi les matériaux de construction les plus polluants compte tenu du grand volume utilisé chaque année. La production du ciment portland, l'ingrédient clé du béton, est très énergivore et le procédé de décarbonatation génère de grandes quantités de CO2. L'industrie du ciment est responsable d'environ 5 à 7% des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre. Dans ce contexte, la recherche de nouveaux liants pour la fabrication de bétons verts et durables est un domaine en constante expansion. L'objectif est de développer et proposer des alternatives à l'industrie. Les ciments composés (ciment + ajouts cimentaires alternatifs) et les liants de nouvelle génération appelés "géopolymères" représentent deux alternatives intéressantes. Toutefois, il est important d'évaluer leur comportement en durabilité pour que ces matériaux soient acceptés. Ce projet de recherche s'intéresse donc à l'évaluation du comportement en durabilité de ces deux alternatives. La performance en durabilité de la poudre de verre mixte (PV) et d'une cendre volante de biomasse (CVK) contre l'alcali-réaction (RAG) a ainsi été évaluée par l'entremise d'essais d'expansion sur mortier (CSA A23.2-25A) et sur béton (CSA A23.2-14A) pour des niveaux de remplacement du ciment portland de 20% et 30%. Les résultats obtenus à ce jour montrent qu'à 20% et 30% de remplacement du ciment, ces deux ajouts cimentaires alternatifs ne rencontrent pas les exigences normatives à ce qui a trait à leur utilisation comme mesure préventive appropriée contre la RAG. La performance des géopolymères a également été évaluée dans le but de se familiariser avec les différents paramètres de synthèse, mais aussi afin de déterminer la viabilité de ces systèmes en durabilité, plus précisément contre la RAG. Les résultats sur mortier et sur béton démontrent que la nature du matériau "source", la température et la durée de cure, le temps de malaxage, la nature et la concentration de la solution d'activation, ainsi que la présence d'humidité sont les paramètres qui ont le plus d'influence sur le développement des résistances mécaniques des géopolymères. Les résultats d'essai d'expansion face à l'alcali-réaction sont très variables et aucune tendance n'a été observée sur mortier, tandis que les résultats sur béton montrent une expansion excessive à long terme.
