Regarding Steel construction. I recall a wool-store fire when I was young. It was a large steel frame warehouse. After the fire, all the RSJ trusses were sagged collapsed to the concrete floor. It was considered that laminated wooden trusses would have held up longer than steel, which when heated lost it's strength.

[@henryhatfield74]

Wood and styrofoam does not bode well for the volunteer fire department that has very few fire hydrants !

[@kiwikeith7633]

@@henryhatfield74 Others might know better than me, but plastics & styrofoam produce seriously noxious fumes (fatal even) when burned. I am not pushing wood or laminated construction - except that the Wool-store was a huge heavy steel framed warehouse - But had it been apartments then - would have occupants had enough time to get out before structural strength was lost? I saw that in 9-11 twin towers, the steel was coated with fireproof insulation - but that is not in these houses. Laminated wood beams burn from the outside inwards -which is a slower degradation of structural strength. They don't melt.

[@Thomas-lj8cf]

Kiwi Keith that paint is called intumescent paint that expands and is fire resistant/retardant

[@fhuber7507]

@@kiwikeith7633 The temperature where the steel fails... the people are probably already dead. The fire will have blocked exit if it hasn't already cooked them. But the story of the steel failing in the warehouse fire demonstrates that the collapse of the twin towers on 911 didn't require the steel to melt. It just had to get hot enough to lose its rigidity (which can be as low as 500 F for some grades of steel) Steel is commonly tempered between 500 F and 750 F. FAR below melting point.

[@kiwikeith7633]

@@fhuber7507 Maybe it is as you say. I do observe that the house construction appears to be of much lighter gauge steel, and probably more susceptible to heat. The Wool store is what I am going off, and do realise that was a huge warehouse at an international port. its frame of heavy RSJs. The sight of them all on the ground was impressive. While not an advocate for either steel or laminated timber - it still seems likely that timber would not lose strength through heating. In a house it is unlikely to be laminated and so woods degradation would be a function of how rapidly it burned.

I do like the interlocking bricks the most! They seem to be the most stable method of the 5. I had to laugh about the EPS Styrofoam with "rabbit-wire" and then a tiny coat of concrete sprayed on... Oh my oh my. In Europe that would not stand an Inspektion and probably is not built to code. I have got a 10 inch thick steel reinforced concrete ceiling in my house. Teo layers of rebar were added weighing several tons! C30/35 concrete which is partly so hard you can hardly cut it even with an angle grinder. Where we sometimes tend to "over-engineer" things - in my opinion many other countries build houses in a way which is maybe good for 30 to 50 years but the majority of those houses will not last several hundred years...

[@obedulloa6219]

@@kniefi For a family home you have 2 choices, you can either use wood since it's flexibility withstands pretty well an earthquake or you make it with concrete but make sure to use rebar on the foundatioons, on each column and over every wall. Also the rebar must be al least of 8mm and the bricks that make the wall between pillars must be "laying down" (I've seen houses on Brazil ir Perú where the bricks are put "standing"). For reference a normal brick is usually 5x15x25cm. Basically that's it. There's also many regulations to determine the size if the beams (either wood ir concrete) depending on the distance between columns and stuff like that. Basically you build the house to stand a lot of punishment. I would say for a 1 story house you build it like you would build the first floor of a 3 story house on a non seismic country

[@kazemamini7577]

من لذت بردم. I enjoyed it

[@ptick16]

I'm curious as to how you would go about hanging things on your walls. From pictures to book shelves, to large screen tv's. Or even trying to take out a portion of a wall in later years for a renovation project. It appears that these building techniques would make this a much more challenging prospect.

[@cwolf8841]

In my stress skin House the interior walls are stick built. The interior and exterior are OSB which can handle most things. A large heavy flat TV might be better mounted on a stand. Taking out interior walls? Like any wall you have to figure out what’s in the wall. Pipes, cables, vents, etc. then just make the cuts.

[@1millionsubsnovideoschalle757]

How does this video not have 50 million views?

[@kniefi]

The first two methods are really intriguing and seems quick, sturdy and cost-effective. Having just built my house, there is one thing I wonder though... How about sound-proofing?! My house was constructed as are many houses in northwrn Germany with classic cavity wall system. Meaning there is a structural brick-on-brick inner wall. Using limestone in usually 17,5cm or bigger format stones/bricks made from airiated concrete (ytong) then some 140, 160 or even 180mm Mineral wool insulation, the - connected with small stainless steel anchors, there is an outer brick-shell made out of klinker in a variety of colours and materials can range from clay, to ceramic or limestone et cetera. That provides good wheather proofing, excellent sound-proofing and good thermal insulations and is really really heavy. Withstands heavy storms/tornado et cetera. But has two major disadvantages - cracks easily in earth-quake ridden areas plus the walls are rather thick - my outer walls are about 480mm which is roughly 19 inches...

[@selfmade-mv3rz]

Wow! Wonder why all that is needed? Here in US exterior walls are generally framed with 2"x4" wood then covered with a 3/4" "sheathing" of "OSB" (particleboard) followed by exterior covering of choice... which could be brick, wood, vinyl, metal, stucco, etc. So why so thick there? Walls here can be as thin a 6" finished!

[@justaninja1]

I would go with steel frame for strength and hempcrete for extra insulation. Though the moisture might rust the steel but it could be coated with something. The foam ones are not biodegradable and not very environmentally friendly.

[@annak804]

You could treat cloth with linseed oil then wrap it on the steel you could then spray the hempcreet and it would reduce water getting to the steel. Linseed oil is a drying oil and acts as a waterproofing add on.

Andersen went out and found the windows were not flashed properly and come to find out he son installed them. I then realized a huge problem with the SIP panels.

eh, still smoke damage & water damage from extinguishing the flames, on top of wood being far more likely to combust & spread rapidly. plus: hurricanes, floods, insects, rodents, tornados, sound penetration, lightning strikes, mold issues, less structural strength to combat settling, far higher cost of utilities, more trades on site for longer periods during construction (+$), less control over air quality (leaky), etc. even potentially lower resale value... i mean, people restore homes from the 20's-40's due to the architecture - but nobody is gonna restore the basic stick ranch home of the 60's-00's.

How many of them are going to withstand a cat 4 hurricane?

Very interesting and useful modern Technic. Is it available in India? Dr.Swamy

I wouldn't trust glorified OSB and polystyrene lego bricks for a house. What about running wires? What about the gap between the wood faces with no filler material? It's a good start to an idea, but absolutely terrible when it comes to any real use of it. Plus there's other products on the market that combine traditional structure building with high amounts of insulation, probably at a cheaper price too. At least SIPs come with channels for wiring, but you still have to modify the panel for piping, which isn't preferable. I also wouldn't rely on OSB and foam for an entire studless wall, again, glorified lego bricks. "Steel is earthquake resistant." That's blatant misinformation. Might be more resistant than wood, but it is not entirely resistant. If it was, tall steel structures wouldn't have mechanisms to help reduce impact from earthquakes. I also wouldn't trust those interlocking bricks, that were literally described as glorified lego. You're relying on the interface of the bricks and a vertical tube of concrete to keep a structure together. There's a reason why bricklaying uses mortar between floating bricks; maybe we shouldn't deviate from that reason just to 'save on concrete.' Most of these are just cutting corners with expensive products. The only good one here is the steel construction, as that's already a proven building material.

Ok, I live in the southeast of the US, a hurricane-prone. How many MPH can this house stand?

[@fasiuddiin]

if the walls are extremely flat and it's more than G+2 . it might handle upto 50mph , there is certain categories and variations with variable rates .

[@aleximd9244]

10 mph

[@uberdave9850]

3

[@gravelydon7072]

@Snow Cone Not very many cellars down here. 4 ft to 6 ft down is water level. But our house is reinforced concrete block with poured concrete columns every 10 feet. The second floor floor is Span-deck slabs that also are poured solid and have a minimum of 4 inches of concrete on top of them. A neighbor has a home that including the roof is poured concrete. Do we take Hurricanes seriously, yes we do. Andrew tested ours and it was still standing after the 155MPH winds and at least a couple of small tornadoes hit it.

[@ferencszabo3504]

From what are you building there in the USA paper? In Europe most haus can withstand 130 Km/h winds. I know that over there you have strong wind territory, but still...

[@sathishjr7604]

I love that technology

Maintenance seems like a nightmare on these places

[@shadowblack1987]

What maintenance???

[@DalionHeartTTV]

Maintenance is a nightmare on any structure, including but not limited to conventional housing structures. Were you under the impression that wooden houses were a one and done deal?

[@thatguy4234]

Dalion Heart hi! 20 yr old home remodeling contractor here. Luckily on timber frame buildings we can open up things, move walls, and change lots of stuff around. These homes seem nice it just didn’t look easy to me to modify/change much with ease.

[@juanmariohinojosa9213]

Me parece excelente. Felicidades para ustedes.

[@PlayMyMusicPlaylist]

Gotta list the cost per sqft or sqm

[@1982MCI]

Do your own homework!!! The cost per sq ft changes every mile you travel so what he tells you could be twice what you’d expect to pay or half of what you’d expect to pay. Quit being so lazy

Hi, pricing is a fair question, I understand. Pricing differs from project to project, kinda hard to give an estimate but from my research prices for these systems are comparable to traditional framing. Steel framing is about 10% more expensive. Now, even if you go on their website you won't find exact pricing because these systems are custom and every build is different. And there are plenty of other variables that go into the final cost, like permits, land, transport, hookups...
