CobBauge Film 1: Introduction

[@niallwildwoode7373]

I was going to build a 26.0mtr x 2.40mtr rammed earth wall to create a solar battery and support for my new greenhouse. The shuttering would have been expensive and labourious, so the simplicity of the cobbauge formwork and build matrix makes far more sense.

I found in the video's that there is a 3 week drying time between lifts. Is this te realy the case? Or can i use one section of framwork ( for example L 3m x H 0,6m) and work my way around the building?

There is a bit of flexibility in this, thicker walls take longer to dry in wet winters etc, start by taking off top lifts and inspecting as you go

Brilliant - tech like this needs to be far more promoted and funded if we ever want to see progress in making a positive difference. We have been looking deep into earth rammed tire construction - the tires effectively take over the "binding fiber" job and also provide excellent structural strength and insulation. The added benefit of course is recycling used tires....

Most excellent! Thank you.

This is a great set of training videos, cheers. :)

Any idea of the insulation properties of this material

Please see www.cobbauge.eu/en/resources/ where you will find quite a bit on the properties, how to design for it and more

sounds good to me:)
