- •
The hygrothermal performance of earthen blocs and plasters is analysed.
- •
Barley straw and corn pith are added to improve the performance of the mixtures.
- •
Adding 2% corn pith resulted in a 60% increase in moisture uptake after 1 h.
- •
This increase was reduced to 12% after 8 h.
- •
Earth-pith mixtures are appropriate for rooms with short and intense moisture loads.
