The evaporative drying of saturated and unsaturated stabilised earth materials is explained using the 1-dimensional sharp wet front approximation. The mechanisms of both sorption and desorption are described using unsaturated flow theory. The concepts of Stage I and Stage 2 evaporative drying rates are discussed in relation to moisture condition values in earth materials with a clear description of the transition between stages. An approach towards obtaining a wide range of void size distributions (VSD) within the matric structure is presented where mass proportioning of granular particles above & below a threshold diameter establishes maximum and minimum values for PSD, which can then be theoretically controlled by varying compaction energy. For the PSD range used in this study, a threshold diameter of 3.35 mm was set and a target ratio of similar to 5 was used for parametric analysis of suction-related variables. Experimental testing of stabilised earth materials showed that, for low matric suction materials where 3.35 ratio
