‘day Rene et al I always pre-compress my walls even in
buildings using the in-fill or post and beam method. Our testing at the I usually get at least 100mm
pre-compression which gives me a sense of security before we load up the roof. We are now using a different method of
pre-compression and I will describe the method in some detail on SB r-us one
day soon with some photos in the files section. The roof should go on as soon as the walls
are up in the case of load bearing and we use load bearing as our preferred
method of building in straw bale. I do
not like the dip method for many practical reasons and would not use it as I
feel it is very cumbersome and how do you get straight walls using this method? Nothing against Tom Rijven’s method but not for us. -- -- |
