Building with raw earth - Prefabricated rammed earth

The best building in the planet for health, positive energy and a sense of warmth

[@farnabyurquhart6970]

Fascinating and exciting to watch. Glad to see rammed earth becoming more mainstream. However, Isn’t there a danger that the industrialisation of this process might lead to it becoming counterintuitive? The process is at its peak performance when it’s localised, with the materials drawn from the spot of construction. Involving large scale industry, electricity and transportation would seem to lessen its environmental benefits, and once profit margins get involved there’s a danger that less scrupulous companies might make a less environmentally honest product.

Doesn't this defeat the purpose? One of the big appeals of rammed earth is that you use the onsite materials

[@williamoverton7265]

Epic idea!

[@nirazincopenhagen]

Sehr schoen, geffaelt mir.

How do they get structural strength and earthquake resistance without metal reinforcement (rebar)?

[@ruedaricardo]

There are several ways to achieve it. Rammed earth is very good with compression forces but you can use it in a regular rebar and concrete structure or use bamboo for added flexibility and earthquake resistance.

[@ursfelder9358]

also reinforce every 30cm hight a layer of "geo grid", a material of carbon fiber

[@kermitefrog64]

Incredible!

What are you using for joining this block?cement or..... What. .

[@jerrywhidby.]

The process was really cool, but the aggregate and the color choice was not aesthetically pleasing to my eye.

One of most spectacular features of rammed earth is the random nature of the sedimentary compaction. As everything is done mechanically using this method you lose this feature which makes the structure appear to be in uniform like a brick or block wall. Sorry to sound negative but this method of rammed earth must be incredibly high in embodied energy too when you consider the materials & stages at the factory, the transport and then reassembling each block on site. Must be a mind boggling per m2 cost.

[@ff-ti7nj]

it's just like prefabricated bricks, only better.

[@captaincommodore8901]

looks more like concrete? how much cement has been used?

[@vishnunallani]

How do you remove the ropes from below the wall once it’s placed?

[@KarasCyborg]

It looks like they were putting down mud, and then driving wood wedges in to support the massive block, then were able to remove the lifting straps.

When are you coming to Australia??

[@burakov]

Where is this factory located?

[@martinsnape7995]

On most Videos we see they say that stones and other things make rammed earth weaker ??? Is this not the case ??

I wish you also had your webpage in English

[@Daffodil956]

If it's a multistorey building what would be the roof made up of.please let me know

[@Nicknine72]

I want that machine

[@aXXo38]

where can i get dis machine

[@BlaxKid22]

Wow

[@michelgiachino5887]

Ce siècle découvre des techniques millénaires, sur le continent africain par exemple, et que l'occident méprisait

SEÑORES BIENVENIDOS AL FUTURO!

[@halqubasi2383]

😍🤩👌

[@Cool_boy258]

Looks like prison

[@walterleofric9906]

Kinda defeats the purpose of the building method, but i guess capitalists gotta capitalize.
