[Strawbale]straw and earthquakes

["Lu" <yom@tiscali...>]

hallo everybody, my name is Luca, i post from Italy and I'm a new subscriber
of this list.
I'm intrested in strawbale building for  a study for my university; I'd like
to include in it some considerations about how buildings made by straw react
to earthquakes: are they sismic-safe? If anybody could give me some
information about this topic, or where to find them, I'd be very grateful!
thanx in advance
greetings luca
