A comprehensive, illustrated handbook on the world's oldest and
most widespread building material. Although earth is extremely
versatile and can be used at relatively low-cost, it is essential
that users have a good knowledge of its real potential in order to
use it to best effect and to avoid misuse.;The text is supported by
illustrations throughout, and deals with the essential aspects of
earth construction - decision making, planning, design and the
realization of a project - so that the procedures, benefits and
precautions are easily accessible and understood by those involved
at every level. The accumulated knowledge and experience of
centuries of use are presented alongside current technologies and
research findings. There is a chapter devoted to disaster-resistant
construction techniques, and bibliographies throughout for those
who require more details about a particular subject area.;This book
should be of interest to anyone involved in construction projects
at all levels, including decision makers and planners, building
inspectors, architects and engineers, technicians, building
promoters and bricklayers, and sub-contractors - as well as
students and academics.
