What kind of impact does digging the dirt out of the ground to build these walls have on your property? Thanks for sharing your video. And thanks for your response in advance.
Looks fantastic. Well done not using that crazy silly oxide in your walls. I can never work out why people build with a beautiful natural earth and then add oxide. Anyway congrats on a great job 👏
We sort of did a stress test because we had to tear the first section of the wall that went up down. We did not do a stress test because my father (the architect) constructed several of these previously and they were fine.
@@DrAzadehWeber Hello, your footing, mix, form work and dimensions are all incorrect. And while this may not prove to be a problem short term, it will be a problem long term. Feel free reach out if you desire instruction.
@@DrAzadehWeber Thank you so much, I didn’t mean to be mean, just honest. But I certainly appreciate what y’all did. Rammed Earth is really my favorite. It’s so sexy if I may say so.
@@DrAzadehWeber - As I said , the weight of roof , anchored on walls , without walls themselves been firmly interconnected won`t work IMHO. There is great danger that weight of roof push one wall more than others and that would potentialy lead to crumble. Elevation for base of roof MUST be 100% accurate , have that in mind. Even with that a strong wind from one side will put immense preasure on roof and walls . That would lead to sideway preasure that also could toople all down.
@@danielkurtovic9099 we are just putting polycarbonate sheets on the roof which don’t weigh much over 2x10 beams every few feet. Then later we are lining the inside of the south wall with thin containers of glauber salt, a phase change material. Next we are putting some polycarbonate sheets 8 inches or so off of the south wall and running pvc pipes between this space and the inside of the greenhouse to create a natural heat pump.
Three parts dirt, two parts coarse sand, one part pea gravel and 10% cement. Then you add only enough water to make it moist and tamp-able
fun! I really want to try this, thank you!!
Interesting looking at all the different ways of rammed earth. I have just completed ramming my house time for the roof.
Nice good work on your build!
How is the wall glued to the concrete foundation?
There is some concrete in the rammed earth mixture that glues it.
are the wall just free standing? no vertical rebar from the slab?
There is no rebar in the walls. Just rebar in the foundation.
What compressor did you use to tamper the rammed earth?
This is the one we used www.homedepot.com/p/Jet-JCT-1604-Floor-Sand-Rammer-Backfill-Tamper-550604/306107138

We ordered the material... which amounted to 30 tonnes for a 20 ft by 10 ft structure.
Please keep us updated on the construction, rammed earth is my favorite.
Will do. We are picking up the project from last year next week. Snow melted about 6 weeks ago so we are overdue getting back to work.
What was the cause of the stripe at 2:08?
That was a layer that had more water mixed into the ratio. The reason why more water was added was to make a smoother layer.

Did you try that wall for stress test ? How strong is the wall without using rebars against earthquake?

There are not earthquakes where we are...
What a Blessing
Good job 👍
Super nice. 👍What is your mixing ratio?
Three parts dirt, two parts coarse sand, one part pea gravel and 10% cement. Then you add only enough water to make it moist and tamp-able

@@bigonprivacy2708Well... ad nauseam eh. Best of luck!
@@bigonprivacy2708 I support anyone building with earth. The cement argument is a tired carnard.
Always happy to chat. Give me a ring.
is there any rebar in there?
no
ยอดเยี่ยม
Love this video, thank you for posting (but the music is extremely annoying).
Thank you and sorry for the music.

Wrong , all those walls need to be firmly connected one to another.
Lots of energy , but I amm affraid of end result.
We are putting in the east and west walls and then connecting with a roof in the next week or two. I hope it works!
