Thermophysical Characteristics of Clay for Efficient Rammed Earth Wall Construction

This case study focuses on twelve compacted clay soil samples to understand their fundamental physical and thermal properties. For each sample, the density, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and drying shrinkage were assessed. The identification and characterisation of the ma...
