TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF CSEB FOR LOW COST HOUSING

Abstract

The pace of urbanization and development over the years has led to mass rural-urban migration, in turn,
creating a shortage of the land available to house the permanent as well as the migrant population. As a
result, real estate prices have escalated Thus, the demand for affordable housing has increased
significantly. Over the years, multiple construction techniques and materials have been utilized towards
achieving the goal of cost-effective construction. This study talks about the use of Compressed Stabilized
Earth Block as a potential construction material with respect to affordable housing. It is an economic and
environment-friendly substitute for conventional materials like brick and cement blocks. The study will
cover different aspects related to the material which will determine its feasibility with respect to
affordable housing.
