Rapid soil classification using artificial neural networks for use …
Compressed earth blocks (CEBs) represent a cost-effective, sustainable, and environmentally-friendly building alternative to traditional masonry elements. Block performance depends heavily on the qualities of the soil used and it is important to be able to identify a soil's qualities rapidly in the field.

Compressed Stabilised Earth Block
The soil, raw or stabilized, for a compressed earth block is slightly moistened, poured into a steel press (with or without stabiliser) and then compressed either with a manual or motorized press. CEB can be compressed in many different shapes and sizes. For example, the Auram press 3000 can make 70 different blocks using only 18 moulds.
