Interlocking Stabilised Soil Blocks
Soil stabilization refers to the application of ad-ditional supplements or forces to the soil in order to make it more water-proof and stronger. The quality of the block de-pends on the properties and mix of soil types, the amount of force applied for compaction, and the addition of chemical or natural products to further stabilize and strengthen

Soil stabilization with gypsum: A review
The flocculation and formation of larger aggregates lead to increased porosity and reduced crusting of the soil surface (soil crusting could inhibit plant growth). Moreover, manufacturing gypsum binders and products requires less energy and results in lower C O 2 emissions compared to materials like cement and lime.
