A sustainable alternative to traditional building materials: assessing stabilised soil blocks for performance and cost in Malawi
Within Malawi, and across the Global South, the adoption of stabilised soil blocks (SSBs) as a sustainable alternative to burnt clay bricks, has been hindered by the high cost of stabilisers. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the performance of cement as a stabiliser in soil stabilised bloc...
