Abstract

For low cost residential construction stabilised soil blocks offer a number of advantages over other construction materials. They are well suited to community based building programmes, whilst often proving cheaper and environmentally less damaging. Stabilised soil blocks are particularly well suited to areas of deforestation, where traditional fuels for clay brick production are in short supply. Despite these advantages the use of stabilised soil block in Zimbabwe has been limited, because of a lack of experience and, in particular, restrictive building regulations. The paper outlines the results of a systematic investigation undertaken at the University of Zimbabwe to assess the influence of soil characteristics and stabiliser content on the physical properties of stabilised soil blocks. A series of stabilised blocks were produced using a range of modified soil types. Ordinary Portland cement, hydrated lime and super sulphated cement were used as stabilisers. The blocks were compacted using a manually operated press, which had been developed and manufactured in Zimbabwe. The experimental results are used to develop empirical guidelines for stabiliser content requirements for a range of soil characteristics. Current specifications for stabilised soil blocks are reviewed in light of the experimental work and revised minimum performance requirements for soil blocks are proposed.
