Test study on construction performance of energy-saving material

Rammed earth construction not only has the qualities of being primitire,simple,natural and energy-saving,it is also ecological and coordinated with the environment. It is still one of the main forms of traditional residences in our country.Since the design of rammed earth construction,material selecting and construction techniques have never been thoroughly studied in Chian up to now, this study was initiated to investigate through test procedures the properties of the coarse soil .It is hoped that these results would be used as the techical index of the architectural design of traditional residence and come to become the standards of scientific quantification through further researches.
