    This is a really impressive building method. I'm beyond pleased to see that it's being done with such professional and natural and aesthetic results.
    Rammed earth is a building material used by only three groups on the planet today: 1. The very poor, 2. The very rich, 3. The people who live in Arizona.
    Gets a bad rap compared to our cardboard houses with 16" spacing. The pigmented concrete is clever and beautifully done. Kudos, and good luck on further perfecting your processes!

    Have you considered adding powdered basalt or basalt fibers? Basalt reacts with co2 and converts it into a mineral (dolomite, calcite, etc). I’m wondering if that would strengthen the wall even further, maybe we could reduce the amount of cement. Basalt is naturally occurring and absorbs co2 at a rate of 92%, so using it is carbon negative. Seawater hold a lot of co2, so that could be used to mix the materials instead of regular water. Some ideas!

    I used to own an electric Bosch demo hammer which had a 4X4" tamper attachment. It seems like a good middle ground between the hand tamper and the pneumatic hammer. I once took the shank from a broken spade bit and welded the 8x8" head from a broken hand tamper to it and it. It doubled my efficiency. The only drawback was I couldn't store it in the same box as the rest of the bits. That's not even a real problem.

      Quite interesting. This method is quite similar to a traditional method 夯土 (hang1 tu3) used in Chinese farm houses. Nowadays, different soil mixtures are used for better strength and durability. Automated mechanical tools are used for faster packing of the earth. Surface treatment is also done to prevent erosion and improve waterproofing.

Not only was it built tough, but I designed it using Florida Hurricane codes, with columns steel reinforced and tie beams to cap it off that had hurricane straps to tie down the trusses and used 5/8 plywood to sheet the roof, not 1/2 Osborn’s and trusses were 16’ on center not 24’. So it was a beast.

    Is there a foundation?
    When I did stone work, it was all about the foundation, to be thick enough and wide enough to hold the massive weight of the material used. Surely a house wall must weigh a substantial amount considering the height of the walls.
    His mix and construction method and the engineer who signed off on the it, can’t expect it to be built on soil?
    I’ve seen a lot of expensive stone columns, garden walls etc, slowly tilting over, because of cost cutting on the most important and critical part of the build..

  • @anthonydunn729
    @anthonydunn729 2 года назад +92

    Bro if you just hooked that pneumatic press up to a brick press you could 'pre-tamp' your materials for building sites, literally just laying the bricks down into the molds between layers of mortar. (The bricks could be hidden or visible). When there's enough pressure on raw sand or other materials they become -what engineers call- "stabilized Earth", so your pneumatic setup (and maybe a gearbox) could press out bricks that are stable at 0% concrete, then place those inside your walls using the 7 or 10% concrete materials sprinkled in between and around the bricks.

      I'm curious about this myself. He said it's a limited clay content, but I was under the impression that 1/3 clay is more ideal, though my opinion shouldn't be counted for much. If the clay content is lower, line would do less, but I've found it's a good additive for my campsite, where the earth that gets rammed is much less controlled (site soil, no cement, unknown and varied composition, includes flora debris)
      I use a liberal application of linseed oil to produce a surprisingly good final product that feels like concrete, but will dent under enough pressure.

      Pretty much, rain will erode ruts into Rammed Earth like this. Not as quickly as some of the other soil-based materials (especially Cob), but it will crumble away if you get frequent rain. It's also very difficult to repair, unlike Cob or CEBs. Adobe or plaster-covered CEB walls would handle rain better than RE or Cob, but personally I wouldn't build with any of these "natural" alternatives in a wet or tropical environment, they really are only suitable to semi-arid areas. Stone, concrete, metal, and wood are all used in the tropics for a reason; they're the best options you have.

    Look great Seems likeThis technologyIt's really good for the dry climate What about wet climate How does structure stand high humidityI think it about ocean front Do you have any experience building rammed earth oceanfront?
    We have some houses in Mexico Ocean view but nothing ocean front
    Ocean demolish everything.

      Considering there is concrete mixed in it holds up like a weak concrete. It'll be there for decades but steadily break apart and flake off in wetter areas, much faster in areas that freeze though because it is more water absorbent so more water will intrude and freeze unless you put some sort of water barrier on it....
      And it's far from a new technology, it's ancient.

      No, it isn't reinforced. Rammed Earth walls will crumble/crack if you tried to move them. They're good for compression strength, though.

    I appreciate your videos! I started ramming to make a small bricks for testing like you showed us on other video. Now I’m making bench size rammed earth wall. Still with hand ramming. A question, many people seems to putting Plasticure for waterproofing. Do you mix anything like that into your mix? I wish I can come to your workshop however I’m in Australia!!!

      @jpvoxdawg 2 года назад +2

      I know with cob you apply lin seed oil and that water proofs it. There's mild upkeep involved but not insane. See: 500 year old cob homes in UK for example. There's also some cob structures in British Columbia. So some of the highest consistent rainfall in the world there. Earthquakes on the other hand I'm not sure. I dare say these would not fair well unless you had a solid rock foundation.

      @@jpvoxdawg They wouldn't do well with earthquakes, even concrete walls have issues with them and will crack depending on the strength so I see these doing even worse since they only use a bit of concrete as binder.
      As an after thought.. The thickness of the wall will affect it too. Thicker it is the more resistant it will be but it would require testing but guessing there is a point of effectiveness to how thick and tall it would be. Shorter it is the less thick it needs to be.
