Basics
- This page aims to determine how CEBs will work in a Humid Climate
- The definition of humid is relitively loose as of now
- To cure properly, moist environment is helpful - so a wetter climate should be more suitable for producing stabilized CEBs than a dry climate.
- NEEDS MORE RESEARCH
- As we expand into different classifications of climates (Areas with monsoons, rainforests etc) this data will be needed and/or gained by work there
- User:Eric lives currently in Florida which is sort of a mix between areas with "4 seasons" and areas with "Wet/Dry Seasons"
- Alvaro lives currently in Guadalajara
Existing Research
- A Czech Technical University in Prague Study on This Topic (Essentially dry, stabalization doesn't matter if enough pressure is used, damp/wet, it is near essential, but works well?)
- This paper states that high humidity may swell and eventually degrade unstabilized CEBs
- Paper also says that stabilization addresses such degradation (sCEBs)
OSE Case Studies
Missouri FeF
- In Missouri , unstabilized structures built in 2011 (the HabLab interior walls and the Workshop interior and exterior walls where they are protected from rain by overhangs) show zero erosion due to humidity
OSE Tests
- Make bricks/a wall etc, leave in the enviroment of choice
- Perhaps test material properties destructively over time
