Sažetak
Earth houses provide housing solution for around 30 % of the world's population. Building with soil is cheap and supports sustainable building. Albeit present, rammed earth (RE) houses in Croatia are mostly abandoned and heavily damaged due to an insufficiently raised level of awareness of their significance. In addition, current Croatian design standards do not recognize RE as a load-bearing element, and thus do not support the construction of new or reconstruction of existing earth houses. Project RE-forMS embodies the synergy of modern design of structural walls and traditional building with RE. Data and samples from existing earth houses will be collected through field surveys. The controlled cultivation and testing of agricultural crops will define the natural fibres for strategic reinforcement of RE walls. Properties of both RE samples from the field as well as improved RE mixtures reinforced with natural fibres will be determined in laboratories. Via experimental testing the thermal and seismic performance of RE walls and mock-up houses will be tested. Measured data will be used for studies through nonlinear numerical simulations. This project is transformational with expected impact on the preservation of cultural heritage, encouraging sustainable building and developing Croatian norms for design of RE houses.
