Now 2018 and I don't know if the Bachmans still have this home but I wish them all the comfort this world can provide for Mr Bachman gave us some fantastic music to dance to and have fun with back when I was in college in 1976 and even before that and to this day....He payed his dues I am sure and deserves all the good things and he takes care of his health very important ....

per Wikipedia: :The earliest bricks were dried brick, meaning they were formed from clay-bearing earth or mud and dried (usually in the sun) until they were strong enough for use". Question: arent sand bags used to prevent flooding? I'm guessing when the rammed earth dries it turns into "brick". Super inexpensive too... dirt is "everywhere". Easy to run out of trees, real hard to run out of dirt. What I love about it is you can configure it into any shape you want. Mortgage free too! Awesome.

@lambofGD His exact words are "rammed earth is an ancient technology that has recently undergone a revival and has become very popular and accessible in a lot of regions where it wasn't available before. It used to be that rammed earth was only in the hot dry arid areas of the world and now it's become available almost everywhere."

Great video. What climate is this to be used in and what is the min wall thickness suggested? Further, what kind of earth can be used as the soil varies from place to place; can it b anything as it is strengthened with cement? Also, mentioned the 5-10% cement mixture, would that be ok with sand also or it has to be sand & clay? Would appreciate your input. :)

This type of home can be built in any climate. In colder areas, insulation is added into the wall, and this creates an insulated house.

I'm afraid that with this kind of insulation inside, the steam can't migrate all the way through the wall, and may condense into water INTO the wall, and that's a big issue for rammed earth walls. maybe compacted straw (inside netting) would be a better insulation, because it won't stop the steam. What do you think? I'm just wondering.

Interesting, solid and often beautiful when done artfully. However, the technique is very expensive due to the labor, needs some cement in the mix to keep it together, and needs rebar and lots of wooden molding, so not as eco-friendly and local as many claim. Basically it is a rich man´s technique to create architecturally impressive buildings. Here in Spain, we have lots of castle walls built with rammed earth, using only earth, and they hold up pretty well. Eventually they crack and wear, but tend to last a long time with maintenance. The new replacements use cement in the mixture and are much stronger.

You know, sections of China's great wall was made from Rammed Earth exclusively. Other sections have rammed earth as its core, with bricks laid over it. Some sections of the Rammed Earth are still standing over a thousand years later.

+Kirk P There are green alternatives to portland cement, hardwood ashes, corn cob ashes or fly ash can be used to replace 40% of the cement, which would put the portion of OPC at 3-6% of the mixture, 2-4% is a waste product (ash), and 90-95% is a suitable locally sourced soil. The point about steel I can't argue with, but rammed earth is provably more ecologically sound than concrete block or fired brick for similar constructions. Wood frame construction can be very eco-friendly to build with sustainable forestry, but over time the better temperature-keeping of a rammed-earth, concrete block, or brick house will lead to energy savings on heating and air conditioning. In terms of labor, most, if not all of it could be done by the owner and family if on a tight budget. Thats what I'm planning, I'm definitely not a rich man. Rammed earth and compressed earth block have some really attractive advantages for off-grid building. The most eco-friendly construction methods I'm aware of are one that uses plastic bottles packed with dirt or sand as bricks, tensioned polyester or nylon fishing nets as reinforcement, and stabilized mud (same as rammed earth mixture +water) as mortar, and earthship, which also uses unamended soil rammed in non-biodegradable trash, in that case used tires and bottles. The main obstacle in many areas is the zoning/planning/permitting, that tends to look on alternative methods with suspicion. The part about getting a proof block tested in a lab as the first step is normally mandatory, as I understand it, at least in the U.S.

it looks beautiful but I wouldn't use it for a house and this is why: it doesn't contain a bonding agent as cement, you can't channel water piping/ electricals inside the wall, even for your picture frames you have to embed wood in order to put a screw in that wall. The transitions between different earth layers are not smooth and look like cracks. I would rather build out of interlocking compressed earth bricks, which is the same earth mixed 9% of cement. Much easier to build with ,you can reinforce with rebars and concrete if needed. And has about the same thermal mass as rammed earth. No need for formworks (complicated installation/removal). Just get a manual brick press, mixer and a level tool and you can build anything from decorated walls, columns, pavement and even personalized shapes. And it looks much neater and doesn't require masonry skills.

Your post got me pondering (again) - if of interest: at about 4:30 run time they state - 5-10% cement + steel rods+ stabilized re-enforced rammed earth or SIRE walls + twice required strength with center core of insulation - for sure, formworks needed at cost and effort - for for earth/cement bricks (arthblocks) additional insulation and wall cover materials and process may be needed in many climates - or two walls with insulation between? + mortar and how that impacts structure - brick vs. solid wall is a different look different, a few different factors involved in each (several earthblock build videos out there - have just seen California examples, so far ) bricks/blocks would be more straightforward for some builds, impact on qualities and costs would need to be factored - site with some added explanations around plumping and electrical conduits (certainly not so flexible to change)- versatile framing tracks/rails for hanging items can be handy or your idea embedded wood might become affixed /bonded wood or other pieces related to needs - interesting discussion with experienced technicians at: www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/question/calling-all-rammed-earth-experts - while traditional build techniques seem like they should be affordable - approvals and contemporary rarity can slow down and add up - cheaper materials costs does not always equate to affordable building, it seems, unless it can be fully figured and personally built - extended mention: -guessing that viable earth would need to be transported in in some regions - the cost of the first independent built earth ship in PEI on donated land, a few years back also seemed excessive and is used as an airbnb novelty more than a home - have seen a haybale home out there as well - but keeping those walls dry will be a challenge or involve non traditional/less eco. methods - researched Ontatio hay bale case studies, moisture protection needs and the heavy costs of some of the few built - proven smart designs building the best of traditional ecology/sustainability could be a way of reclaiming autonomy - but a lot is wrapped up in funding, building and municipal conventions ...other than building tiny structures -
