Patterns of environmental decay affecting historic and modern pisé walls

Research output: Other contribution to conference › Presentation only

Abstract

Rammed earth (pisé) buildings have a long history in Australia. Setting aside the impact of natural disasters, pisé structures exhibit great longevity as long as the roof is water tight, and the bottom of the walling is protected from splash effects. This paper will review the nature of environmental decay as it affects both historic (nineteenth century) and modern pisé walls. The paper will show that modern walls made up from a cement/earth mix are not immune from moisture induced decay
