Stabilization of compressed earth blocks (CEBs) by geopolymer binder based on local materials from Burkina Faso

The results showed that geopolymerization of CEBs significantly improved their mechanical performance and gave them thermal properties that were very similar to those of non-stabilized blocks. For a 15% geopolymer content, these materials displayed properties comparable to those of Portland cement-stabilized CEBs, in particular with regard to their stability in water.
