ASTM Earthen Materials Task Group
This task group is housed under the American
Society for Testing and Materials International (ASTM)
E6.71 Subcommittee, on Sustainability for Buildings. David
Eisenberg is vice-chair of this subcommittee, and DCAT founded
and chairs the Earthen Materials Task Group. The task group
is developing a series of standards and construction guides
for earthen materials and building systems. The initial focus
is on adobe, rammed earth, and compressed earth blocks.
