The construction of earth buildings has been taking place worldwide
for centuries. With the improved energy efficiency, high level of
structural integrity and aesthetically pleasing finishes achieved
in modern earth construction, it is now one of the leading choices
for sustainable, low-energy building. Modern earth buildings
provides an essential exploration of the materials and techniques
key to the design, development and construction of such buildings.
Beginning with an overview of modern earth building, part one
provides an introduction to design and construction issues
including insulation, occupant comfort and building codes. Part two
goes on to investigate materials for earth buildings, before
building technologies are explored in part three including
construction techniques for earth buildings. Modern earth
structural engineering is the focus of part four, including the
creation of earth masonry structures, use of structural steel
elements and design of natural disaster-resistant earth buildings.
Finally, part five of Modern earth buildings explores the
application of modern earth construction through international case
studies.
With its distinguished editors and international team of expert
contributors, Modern earth buildings is a key reference work for
all low-impact building engineers, architects and designers, along
with academics in this field.
