Earth buildings used architectural styles in their construction. Rammed earth walls are a type of earth buildings that earth buildings are included as a branch of earth architecture. Rammed earth is a technique of building walls that used a mixture of soil, sand and additives in various layers. The soil mixture needs to be carefully balanced between clay, sand and aggregate although existing rammed earth walls need to improve in their materials and construction method. The current research is a review on nanotechnology and its role in rammed earth walls. The current review is shown the applications of nanotechnology in rammed earth walls although it has shown a short information about an invention by in rammed earth walls using Nano clays and nanomaterial's under name of NCREW that inventors have increased the compressive strength of rammed earth walls using nano-clays.
