Producing Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks (pdf)In this module you will learn how to produce interlocking stabilised soil blocks (ISSB). As you well know, soil is one of the main materials used for the construction of traditional low-cost houses in rural areas. This is because it is cheap and locally available. Some houses are constructed entirely or partially with soil, depending on the local traditions, climate, available skills and cost. One disadvantage of traditional soil-based construction is that they require regular maintenance and protection. This has led to the development of new methods or technologies that improve the quality and durability of soil construction methods.
