- The paper contains the first practical approach to design earthen construction materials based on rigorous geotechnical principles. We chose the most prestigious geotechnical journal to present this work in order to bring the topic of earthen construction to a wider and scientifically appropriate audience. The paper content has since been presented by Augarde in an invited Keynote address at the International Symposium on Earthen Structures, held in Bangalore, India in August 2018 (see http://cst.iisc.ac.in/ises2018/keynote_speakers.html). Beckett (christopher.beckett@ed.ac.uk) has gone on to be an Assistant Professor at Edinburgh University, winning EPSRC funding in 2018 for allied work in unsaturated soils (EPSRC EP/S011005/1)
