Good evening,
I'm searching all the information about earth building codes, standards and normative around the world. Please help me a find some more.
This is the list of the country, that I already know, where there are earth building codes, standards and norms:
France; Germany, India, Kyrgystan; New Zealand; Peru; Spain; USA (New Mexico); Australia; Zimbawe; Brazil; Columbia; Kenya; Nigeria; Sri Lanka; Tunisia; Turkey; Switzerland.
I'm sure there are codes or standards in: China, Japan, Ecuador. But I couldn't find the name or the references.
Thank you for listening

Dear Mr Emanuele Sitzia ;
Please find attached related links this regards.:
Chapter Modern earth building codes, standards and normative development
https://www.astm.org/Standards/E2392.htm
https://www.standards.govt.nz/
West Germany was one of the first countries in the world to draw up standards for earthen
construction. Documents covering earthen construction, including rammed earth, were
published between 1947 and 1956 (Houben & Guillaud, 1994). However, these standards
were withdrawn in 1970.
The Lehmbau Regeln was published in 1999. Though lacking the status of a national DIN
standard the Lehmbau Regeln provide a national reference document that has
subsequently been referenced in the building control regulations of some regional
governments. Chapter one sets out the general requirements of earthen construction,
while chapter two specifies the types of suitable soil for earth construction and the
appropriate selection tests.
The third chapter concentrates on describing the various earth wall construction methods
(including rammed earth, cob and light straw clay) and materials for the specific
application, while the next chapter details the design procedures for each of these
methods. In addition, details of the design of vaults, non load-bearing
walls, ceiling joists and rendering are also provided. Chapter five presents some earth
properties such as density, thermal insulation, permeability and sound absorption. Chapter
six touches upon contractual issues whilst the last chapter presents a glossary of the terns
used either within the document or more broadly in earthen construction.
The following documents are available at: http://www.din.de
DIN 18945 (2013-08)
Earth Blocks - Terms And Definitions, Requirements, Test Methods
DIN 18946 (2013-08)
Earth masonry mortar - Terms and definitions, requirements, test methods
DIN 18947 (2013-08)
Earth plasters - Terms and definitions, requirements, test methods
Sig. Stzia, Cosa vuoi specificamente? Non ho capito se vuoi norme per terremoti, oppure per costruzione. Fammi sapere. Ormai posso aiutarle.
Ho alcune norme Brasiliane dal Mercosur, e una o due Stati Unitense. Dipende del suo obbietivo di ricerca.
Saluto.
I was searching codes and norms about earth construction, in general. I found a lot of norms about the earth constructions in seismic area. Thanks all of you for your help
