Vertical joints of wall junctions in single storey
houses were inspected and it was found that
cracks have appeared along vertical edges
because of the separation between rammed
earth and compressed brick columns. It does
not show good fixity at vertical wall joints.
Cracks have been repaired at few locations
with the same materials to overcome this
problem. The following pictures describe the
behavior of vertical joints between compressed
brick columns and rammed earth walls.
