In this video I showcase the strength and durability of a Rammed earth wall. It turns out to be that the mason had never experienced this much hardship even in a normal brick built wall!
Sir we are building house in my village we are middle class can't offer for concrete house plz give me details how can I build rammed earth house I think materials u mention are available locally so I guess it will cost me less if u give me details I can guid local builders Plz sir reply and also those iron beems ur using in wall construction
Really nice work. Looking to explore building using this material. Please share contacts of agency & architect who helped you in this endeavour. Thank you!
I don’t think cantilever is possible with Rammed earth. Rammed earth as a structure is used for vertical walls. You could try cantilever using poured earth with steel rod reinforcements. I haven’t tried poured earth for horizontal structures.
What about the rain effects? I am looking to build a barn in my agricultural area and the constant irrigation around the three sides of the house coupled with a heavy monsoon spell every summer is making me nervous. Please shed some light in the water retention related concerns.
well as with any building you your main line of defence against water is making sure the grade of the land means no water runs towards the building. then if it's unavoidable make sure there's a drainage system around it that diverts the water away. did you get around to building it yet?
@@Mani-Suresh You may want to check out sirewall they have made some very large structures they have made walls ad tall as 30m (100′) and load-bearing walls up to 15.5m (51′)

As I said I’m my earlier response, I need to wait and watch. The smaller unit was tested for this year’s monsoon, no issues at all. Hoping the same would be the case with this one too 😊
Maybe, but I don’t know the proportion or the time taken for bonding. W.r.t cement the bonding action kicks off in 30 minutes and within 15 days of curing the wall becomes rock solid.
Very good question. The answer is yes!!!!!!!! Definitely YESSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!! You should never use cement. A very bad idea because cement keeps water in the walls! It is actually stupid to use cement with earth construction. Lime is natural and will let your walls breath.
Cut it with an angle grinder. And chisel it with an electric drill on impact mode. One piece will take 15 minutes max. These men. know exactly how to kill time. Iam pretty much convinced that you have hired them on daily wages basis.
Ha ha true. I fitted all the doors in my house myself. With an angle grinder and rotary hammer drill in hammer mode, it didn't take more than an hour to make all six of these holes for the door frame. It's actually possible to do it much faster if you can wear a face shield to block out all debris and can see clearly while the angle grinder blows up a dust storm.
These walls need no plastering, plastering would rob the thermal property of the wall. Having said that, one can plaster and paint these walls if needed
Once the walls are completely cured, it wouldn’t trap any moisture. After 30 days a wall of good to go, but we should ensure regular watering during that period
What you have said is absolutely right, cement facilities compaction in the entire mixture. We have used 7% of cement for compaction, which is clearly mentioned in the video. My intention is to share my personal experience with facts and not mislead people.

Can we do multi storey buildings with this rammed earth
Sir we are building house in my village we are middle class can't offer for concrete house plz give me details how can I build rammed earth house I think materials u mention are available locally so I guess it will cost me less if u give me details I can guid local builders
Plz sir reply and also those iron beems ur using in wall construction
Yes! This is the proof of what all non believers need to see about rammed earth construction projects.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you sir
How do you incorporate electricals and burglar proof whiles building the walls in order not to chisel the walls after.
Sir
What is the Ratio of
Sand , clay , silt , Gravel and Cement?
When maintained rammed earth made the strongest walls in the ancient world
Can u tell me what company s waterproofing camical should be used in rammed earth wall iam looking for it
Which company's waterproofing camical you have used can you plz tell me iam looking for it
Can we build a cantilever with rammed earth? Or do have to use some other material for stability? Please do let me know and thank you for video btw😊

Our house made of the same earth wall, 60+ years, some are lime walls too.

@@Mani-Suresh don't think so

Sir does these wall needs water treatment after construction?
Is it possible to build a slanted Rammed earth wall??
Is this pure rammed earth or it has few percentage of cement?
What literatures do you recommend for a beginner?
TH-cam, to start with. Then speak to people who have built, if possible visit and get a first hand experience.
Can i put a pull up bar on it?
How much percentage sand should be added
Pls check this attached link everything has been explained in detail :th-cam.com/video/_8NlCn18uRw/w-d-xo.html
so this is what you were doing
Hi sir, what is the thickness of the wall
9.5 inches
Why not using a wall cutter
Great job 🙏🏾.. Am wondering so how about weather getting rainy.. Like am in Indonesia is work here or what do you think sir?

@@OPTIMAVASU so how about earthquake during that session any Crack or damage happened?
Our place is not prone to earthquakes. So can’t comment.
Experiance from house build some years ago in switzerland says less than 1 cm p/a ... he use even bigger pebbelstones in his house ... is on you tube
Instead of cement can we add lime

sir we can plaster rammed earth wall by cement plastering and we can paint

@@OPTIMAVASU could could apply colours while ramming the earth i think... OXIDES COLORS COULD BE ADDED
Wanted to contact you sir

Stop missleading ppl, rammed earth is mixed with cement to b dat strong, it is not real RAMMED earth.
What you have said is absolutely right, cement facilities compaction in the entire mixture. We have used 7% of cement for compaction, which is clearly mentioned in the video. My intention is to share my personal experience with facts and not mislead people.
@@OPTIMAVASU every title with just RAMMED EARTH is missleading
@@junplayz4385 simple, use right words.
