dc.description.abstract | Earth-built structures are one of the cheapest and most affordable form of housing for low-income earners, especially in rural areas. Despite them possessing that advantage, they are built not following any standards such as material testing which are encountered in masonry-built structures and this imposes them to deterioration depending on how they are maintained over a period of time.
