[Strawbale] fire

[chug.]

Hi Rikki
there is some info on Australian fire testing, where they tested earthen, lime/sand and lime/sand/cement (three of each).
you can find this at http://www.earthgarden.com.au/strawbale/fire_test.html

         DCAT (Development Center for Appropriate Technology) theoretically
has a terrifically encouraging downloadable pdf copy of an ASTM E84-98
Surface Burning Characteristics report for strawbale. The link for it,
however, isn't working. If you email them and ask Tony to email you a copy
or have the link fixed, he'll probably respond if he's not totally
overwhelmed with other things (like trying to scare up funding). Tony's
generally nice like that.

DCAT's nonspecific-recipient email:
info at dcat...



I hope this helps
