The findings from the test are expected to generate database for rammed earth buildings.

Home ministry’s Engineer, Phuntsho Wangmo said they realised the database for rammed earth buildings after the country experienced earthquakes in 2009 and 2011.

During the two earthquakes, majority of the damages in the country were rammed earth buildings.
