Abstract Using metrics is an informative approach to compare the effectiveness of cement use in material systems, but does not necessarily consider all factors needed to determine which system is most sustainable. To make a fair comparison, it is necessary to consider the functions cement performs in each system. In this discussion, suggestions are given for how to assess the use of cement as a binding agent in stabilised earth construction. Consideration of structural requirements and durability, life cycle analysis and moisture buffering shows that the effectiveness of cement use depends on more than just embodied carbon and dry compressive strength.

讨论“土混凝土。重新审视稳定”

摘要 使用指标是比较材料系统中水泥使用有效性的一种信息方法，但不一定考虑确定哪个系统最可持续所需的所有因素。为了进行公平的比较，有必要考虑水泥在每个系统中的作用。在本次讨论中，就如何评估水泥作为稳定土施工中的粘合剂的使用提出了建议。对结构要求和耐久性、生命周期分析和水分缓冲的考虑表明，水泥使用的有效性不仅仅取决于隐含碳和干压强度。
