This paper presents a critical review of the literature on selected earth-based construction technologies published between January 2020 and July 2022 and indexed in Scopus. Publications on rammed earth, mudbricks and earth sheltering were reviewed and key research areas were identified, including, but not limited to the performance of unstabilized and stabilized earth partitions, the application of various stabilization materials, including waste, plant fibre and cement, characteristics of heritage earth structures, seismic vulnerability, life cycle analysis (LSA), and hygrothermal properties. It was concluded that a greater overlap between these areas could enhance the state of the art on earth-based technologies. Very little interest in earth shelters was observed, as the literature focused primarily on rammed earth and mudbrick.

Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia krytyczny przegląd literatury na temat wybranych technologii budowlanych opartych na ziemi opublikowanej między styczniem 2020 a lipcem 2022 roku, która została zaindeksowana w bazie Scopus. Zapoznano się z publikacjami dotyczącymi ziemi ubijanej w szalunkach, cegły suszonej i schronów ziemnych oraz zidentyfikowano kluczowe obszary badawcze, takie jak: efektywność stabilizowanych i niestabilizowanych przegród ziemnych, wykorzystanie różnorakich materiałów stabilizujących, w tym odpadów, włókien roślinnych oraz cementu, charakterystyka ziemnych obiektów zabytkowych, podatność na wstrząsy sejsmiczne, analiza cyklu życia (LCA) oraz właściwości hydrotermiczne. Stwierdzono, że większe przenikanie się obszarów badawczych mogłoby poszerzyć stan wiedzy na temat ziemnych technologii budowlanych. Zaobserwowano również nikłe zainteresowanie schronami ziemnymi, jako że literatura była skupiona głównie na ziemi ubijanej w szalunkach i na cegłach suszonych.
