Publications on rammed earth, mudbricks and earth sheltering were reviewed and key research areas were identified, including, but not limited to the performance of unstabilized and stabilized earth partitions, the application of various stabilization materials, including waste, plant fibre and cement, characteristics of heritage earth structures, seismic vulnerability, life cycle analysis (LSA), and hygrothermal properties. It was concluded that a greater overlap between these areas could enhance the state of the art on earth-based technologies. Very little interest in earth shelters was observed, as the literature focused primarily on rammed earth and mudbrick.}, type={Article}, title={Earth-Based Construction: A Critical Review}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/126499/PDF-MASTER/2022-TEKA-14.pdf}, doi={10.24425/tkuia.2022.144860}, keywords={rammed earth, earth shelter, mudbrick, earth construction}, }
