1、Designation: E2392/E2392M 10 (Reapproved 2016)Standard Guide forDesign of Earthen Wall Building Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2392/E2392M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l

2、ast revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This standard provides guidance for earthen buildingsystems, also called earthen construction, and addresses bothtechni

3、cal requirements and considerations for sustainable de-velopment. Earthen building systems include adobe, rammedearth, cob, cast earth, and other earthen building technologiesused as structural and non-structural wall systems.NOTE 1Other earthen building systems not specifically described inthese gu

4、idelines, as well as domed, vaulted, and arched earthen structuresas are common in many areas, can also make use of these guidelines whenconsistent with successful local building traditions or engineering judg-ment.1.1.1 There are many decisions in the design and construc-tion of a building that can

5、 contribute to the maintenance ofecosystem components and functions for future generations.One such decision is the selection of products for use in thebuilding. This guide addresses sustainability issues related tothe use of earthen wall building systems.1.1.2 The considerations for sustainable dev

7、ollows: design criteria, structural andnon-structural systems, and structural and non-structural com-ponents.1.2 Provisions of this guide do not apply to materials andproducts used in architectural cast stone (see SpecificationC1364).1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to

8、 be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of

9、thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

25、 also 3.2.9).3.2.1.1 DiscussionThe word itself comes from an Arabicword atob, which means muck or sticky glob or atubah “thebrick.” In many other countries, the word “adobe” ismeaningless, and it is more accurate to say “earthen-brick.”“Adobe architecture” also has different meanings in differentpla

37、3.2.13.1 DiscussionLoams are usually good agriculturalsoils due to their nutritional organic content and their ability tohold water. Loams should be avoided in earthen construction,as the organic content is subject to biological decay andvolume change. Note that the word “loam” derives from theGerma

38、n “lehm.” In Europe, “loam” and “lehm” usually havean opposite meaning; that is, they connote earth with a verylow organic content, ideal for building but not for agriculture.3.2.14 material (product feedstock), nrefers to the sub-stances that are required for the manufacture or fabrication, orboth,

Chemical stabilization isachieved by the intermixture of ceme

45、nt, lime, gypsum, asphaltemulsion, or other materials with the soil before emplacement,and curing as appropriate for the stabilizer and chemicalreaction. Mechanical stabilization is achieved by compactingor compressing a plastic earth mixture, or containing earth inpermanent forms such as bags.3.2.2

49、des for earthen building systems.5. Significance and Use5.1 Historical OverviewEarthen building systems havebeen used throughout the world for thousands of years. Adobeconstruction dates back to the walls of Jericho which was builtaround 8300 B.C. Many extant earthen structures have beenfunctioning for hundreds of years. However, with the develop-ment of newer building materials, earthen building systemshave fallen into disfavor in parts of the world where they wereonce commonly used.At the same time, earthen constru
