Abstract : The purpose of this study is to provide shielding for earthen structure from Electro Magnetic Frequency (EMF) radiations that are incident on it. These radiations are harmful to the human body when exposed to in large quantities. The natural source of EMF radiations is the Sun, and other sources include mobile transmission towers, radio waves, satellite DTH, etc. Shielding the structure from these radiations helps in reducing the temperature of the structure. Tests were conducted using different samples of soil along with various proportions of cement and fibers to get the optimum ratio of materials and finally constructed a prototype to test the amount of radiations that were being allowed into the structure. A micro-fiber mesh was used, with a pore size of about 2.5 cm diameter which acted as a reinforcement layer between the walls of the prototype structure which were of 40 cm thickness. Metal plates are used to form the roof and door of the structure. The earthen structure is compared with a concrete structure from EMF shielding properties, reduction in temperature, and relative humidity. Thus, the results obtained by this study could help in shielding from Electromagnetic Frequency radiations. Keywords— EMF shielding, Earthen structure, thermal comfort, Electro magnetic wave shielding.
