Rammed Earth Cure Protection BenchmarksTable
Key parameters and target values for quality assurance.
| Parameter | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture | Within spec | Test before cover |
| Compaction | Uniform layers | ≤150 mm lifts |
| Safety | PPE worn | Stop if unsure |
Test Block First
Never skip test blocks — wrong soil mix cracks walls after form removal.
Lift Height
Keep lifts at 100–150 mm — thicker layers compact unevenly and leave laminations.
Form Blowout
Stop compacting if forms bow outward — add ties before continuing the lift.
Safety Notes
- Fast dry cracking is common failure mode.
- Do not strip forms early on tall walls.
