  • This paper states that high humidity may swell and eventually degrade CEBs. That has not been our experience in Maysville, Missouri, where structures built in 2011 show zero erosion due to humidity - for example the HabLab interior walls and the Workshop interior and exterior walls where they are protected from rain by overhands. [1]
  • Paper also says that stabilization addresses such degradation (sCEBs)
  • To cure properly, moist environment is helpful.
