mixed with cow dung to construct sustainable and environmentally friendly buildings.
The clayey soil was collected at about 5 km South of Okahandja and the cow dung
was obtained from Rietfontein in the Omaheke region of Namibia. Analysis of
all the test samples suggested that the California Bearing Ration (CBR) decreases
as the amount of cow dung is increased across the entire sample. The cow dung
was added as a reinforcing agent in different proportions. The compression test
outcome suggests that the strengths of the bricks decrease with increasing cow
dung content.]]>ASTM.,20002000Das, B.M.,20052nd Edn.,Pages: 708Pages: 708Heine, K. and J. Volkel,2010403150Krakowiak, K.J., P.B. Lourenco and J.F. Ulm,20119430123022Makunza, J.K.,20062006Olokode, O.S., P.O. Aiyedun, D.M. Raheem, F.T. Owoeye and B.U. Anyanwu,20121162167TMH1-A8,19861986
