      abstract = {This book presents an innovative and environmentally  friendly type of excavated earth-based building material,  called Shot-Earth. The use of a common excavated earth as a  construction material (both for structural and  non-structural applications) has many important advantages,  the main one being that the soil can be used as a zero kilo  and zero cost material, being used in the same place where  it is excavated. This volume collects the main results  obtained by the research units in the FIRS2019-00245  research project, funded by the Italian Ministry of  Research (MUR) and dedicated to the study of Shot-Earth  materials. Many of the exposed contributions concern the  optimization of the mixture and application technique,  which consists in the application of the mixture sprayed on  a support (that serves as formwork), with or without  reinforcements, by using a pressure pipe (that is by a  high-speed projection). This new construction technique  allows to quickly realise a variety of structural systems,  even with a complex geometry (like vaults, arches, shells,  tunnel coatings, underground tanks, waterproofing of walls  for landfills and waste storages, slope stabilization,  etc.). An additional feature of Shot-Earth is that it can  be used to realise high energy-efficient buildings. In  particular, this innovative technology can improve the  capacity of a building to auto-regulate its interior heat  and humidity, increasing indoor environment quality and  energy performance and reducing building gas emissions.},
