If you have a clay based subsoil (15-25% clay) you are in luck as your home’s raw material is below your feet. (You want the inorganic stuff down under the topsoil, no decomposing mulch and micro-organisms.) Mix your clay soil with some water, sand and straw. Mix with your feet, bare or booted, or with any number of mechanical mixers, or an oxen, or for a really large job, use a backhoe. See theilovecob website适用于多种混合方法。
Before beginning a project it is always a good idea to make a few large practice blocks and allow them to dry thoroughly. These test blocks will show you the best ratio of sand and straw that will work best with your clay soil.
记住,棒子具有优异的热性能和温和的温度,但最终热或冷会到达墙的另一边。Cob的R值,即使有额外的吸管,也从来没有比每英寸1 R更好的测试,通常它测试得更低。在寒冷或炎热的气候中,你应该考虑用不导电的绝缘材料建造某些墙,例如稻草包。2022世界杯四强亚盘赔率事实上,在寒冷的气候中,许多人都在建造双层框架墙,在里面用隔热墙在外面2022世界杯四强亚盘赔率玉米芯墙储存热或冷,绝缘材料阻止热或冷通过墙。

密歇根的Cob键合梁。把棒子铲到地基上。用脚踩。The walls of acob homeare generally 18 to 24 inches thick. The mass will hold heat in winter and the night’s coolness in summer. Photo taken by Eva Wimmer.naturalcottageproject.com
Mashing the cob with bare feet on tarps in South Dakota.
There are some earth bags above the rock foundation that the cob is sitting on, I assume they will be covered with cob.

In France cob is known as bauge.
In France they use pitchforks (or cob picks) and wear rain boots!

First course of cob drying on foundation.
A two foot high course might take one to three weeks to dry, you want your courses to dry a bit before new weight is applied to prevent the walls from buckling or slumping under their own weight. Leave the top rough so the next course adheres well. Originally found at pbase.com/hapm/ourhouse
Second course or lift laid. Best to trim excess cob then to have to add cob to a wall. Best to have a tall foundation if you are in flood prone areas or going to backfill around the foundation. Home by Kevin McCabe, cob builder. East Devon,buildsomethingbeautiful.co.uk

Mike and Andrea Reinhardt’s cob home under construction in Missouri. Clay is from the property. Local Amish framed and put up the roof. In rainy environments it is a good idea to put up a roof while constructing the walls. Total cost about $15,000. digitalburg.com
Cob alone has excellent thermal mass. But it is not the best at insulation, and eventually the heat or cold from one side will arrive at the other side. So in extreme climates pure cob should not be the only material you use. Strawbale and other lighter, non-conductive materials have more insulating value. Eco-Sense in Vancouver (Ann and Gord Baird) are mixing pumice into their cob. Their mix of 30% clay, 30% sand, 30% pumice and lots of straw is showing good test results.

If you use wooden supports for your roof (which many local building codes require) and build the roof before the walls, you do not have to worry about your new walls getting too wet during rainy weather. mudbandits.blogspot.com

You do not want the foundation to attract moisture, so keep plantings away from the foundation.

“玉米棒子墙的坚固程度在很大程度上取决于它们在制作过程中不匆忙,因为如果匆忙,墙肯定会残废,也就是说,它们会从垂直方向摇摆或转向。在德文郡,建造棉花墙房屋的人喜欢在鸟儿开始筑巢时就开始工作,这样就有时间在冬天到来之前盖上房屋的外壳。2022世界杯四强亚盘赔率外墙在第二年春天粉刷。如果冬天还没盖上屋顶,工作就被耽误了,通常要在墙上临时盖上一层茅草,以防霜冻。”An Old Authority,gutenberg.org

这一切看起来都很好,我也很关心节约和减少资源,但安全问题仍然浮现在脑海中。How does it hold up under a earthquake and does it meet with most earthquake building code standards ?
