This work shows an experimental investigation carried out on different unfired earth building materials developed at Politecnico di Bari (Dipartimento di Architettura e Urbanistica) in collaboration with the University of Nottingham (Nottingham Centre for Geomechanics, Division of Materials, Mechanics and Structures). Several hygrothermal parameters were measured in laboratory: thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity, water vapour permeability, water vapour resistance coefficient, sorption curves. These data were correlated with physical parameters: dry density, porosity. Furthermore...
