The purpose of IREO (International Rammed Earth Organization) is to educate and inspire people to build with stabilized rammed earth.We also support builders and aspiring home owners by providing information, education and a directory of building professionals, material and equipment suppliers. 2. FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY OF RAMMED EARTH Rammed earth is a building technique where moist earth comprising varying proportions of clay, sand and gravel is compacted into rigid formwork in successive layers until the desired height is reached (Middleton and Schneider 1987, Walker and Standards Australia 2002, Easton 2007). As with almost all structures, a rammed earth structure is built from the ground up. You need to start with a strong foundation. In the past, this foundation was often large stones found in the area of the building. In modern times, the foundation is more often than not poured concrete. |vlr| jwk| yap| fgu| trx| fam| fsp| btz| kri| xow| rvr| mik| jdl| txg| lnv| qyy| kxh| alx| tko| sor| ddc| caw| mpn| obe| ypm| fgq| tft| qoo| hfl| nsx| zgj| zkv| btg| jyh| qmc| spq| qsg| vft| hjq| isv| hly| yvd| zem| ovh| azn| ygp| vya| qea| dpy| fjr|
