Comparing the compressive strength of two different CEB mix designs for a customer

In this video, we make two different CEBs - one with native soil mixed with 8% cement...the other using a 4 to 1 native soil to sand mix...and then stabilized with 8% cement. Both blocks performed very well (over 2,000 PSI compressive strength), and this helped us determined that the sand augmentation is not necessary.

Incredibly interesting work as usual. Hope to one day have to consider similar things when creating some CEBs myself

Hey Ryan! I love your content and would like your advice on if a compressed stabilized interlocking brick can be produced with 100% cement? Please let me know and have a blessed day!

Awesome. Was there a soil test/sieve test to know the mix between clay/sand/silt/aggregate?

[@AlwaysAudacity]

Can you use a penetrometer for testing these blocks?

Why is that press worth 2k?
