Strawbale construction
Construction is a building method that uses bales of straw (commonly wheat, rice, rye, oats straw) as structural elements, building insulation or both. This construction method is commonly used in natural building or “brown” construction projects.
Straw bale construction (1)
This document discusses straw bale construction. It describes how straw bales are used as structural elements and insulation in buildings. Straw bale construction has been used since ancient times, but was revived in the 1990s. There are two common types of straw bales used - those bound with two strings and those bound with three strings. The document outlines the basic steps to construct a straw bale house, including preparing the foundation, erecting a frame, building the straw bale walls, and plastering. It also discusses common materials, advantages like insulation and cost effectiveness, disadvantages like moisture issues, and precautions needed during construction.
Strawbale construction low cost housing
This case study discusses using straw bale construction for a home for construction workers. Straw bale construction uses bales of straw like wheat or rice as structural building elements and insulation. It is a natural, sustainable, and low-cost construction method that provides highly insulated walls and energy efficiency. The straw bales are a waste product from farming that is inexpensive. Building straw bale walls can be done with unskilled labor and the bales, earth plaster, and other materials have very low costs, making it an economically attractive construction technique.
Building with Straw
The document discusses different natural building techniques using straw, cob, and light clay. It provides a brief history of straw bale construction in the 1800s Nebraska and describes how straw bales are used to form insulating and durable load-bearing walls. Cob construction is summarized as a mixture of clay, sand, straw and water used to create freeform walls that are structurally stable. Light clay techniques are also outlined as a German tradition of filling wood frames with straw or other materials coated in clay slip.

SandBag Building offers an energy efficient and environmentally friendly construction method. It uses sand-filled bags which are laid like bricks to form walls. This method is quicker and less expensive than conventional construction. It also has benefits like lower carbon emissions, less waste, and better thermal and sound insulation. The sandbag walls can be used to build structures that are just as durable and flexible as traditional brick buildings.
Rammed earth
This document discusses rammed earth as a building material. Rammed earth is created by compacting wet soil in formworks to create strong, sedimentary walls. It has been used in construction for thousands of years around the world. The objectives of using rammed earth are that it is inexpensive, can be constructed without skilled labor, uses locally available materials, is ecofriendly and sustainable. The process involves excavating soil, preparing mixtures, compacting layers in formworks to build up walls. Rammed earth walls have good thermal and soundproofing properties and are virtually fireproof. However, insulation may be needed in colder climates and protection from heavy rain is required.

3. Aerocon panels can reduce construction costs by up to 20% due to their light weight and speed of installation compared to traditional construction. They also provide additional floor area of up to 5% by allowing thinner walls.
Ppt mud
This document discusses various traditional mud construction methods that have been used for thousands of years. It describes techniques like COB (curved mud walls), rammed earth (compacted layers between wooden frames), adobe (sun-dried bricks), wattle and daub (mud plaster over a bamboo frame), and pressed bricks. Advantages of mud construction include using locally available natural materials with minimal energy needed. Examples of historic mud structures from around the world are also provided.
Wattle & Daub
Wattle and daub, willow weaving, thatch, cob, and lime mortar were traditional building methods used in Britain. Wattle and daub involved weaving wooden lattices and filling them with mud or clay. Willow weaving was used to make fences, furniture and even house walls by twisting willow branches. Thatch used reeds or straw as roofing material. Cob construction used a mixture of soil, straw, and water to build walls. Lime mortar was composed of limestone, sand, and water to bind bricks and stones before modern cement was available. These methods required locally available natural materials and skills passed down over generations.
Mud in architecture
Mud is a building material that has been used for thousands of years. It is still used in modern construction, though the methods have changed. Mud buildings are commonly found in dry, rural areas where mud is abundant. Mud construction can be environmentally friendly as it requires few resources, though it is susceptible to damage from water and requires regular maintenance. Ceramic materials are used to make pottery, bricks, tiles, and other construction products due to their hardness, heat and chemical resistance. However, ceramics are brittle. Terracotta clay is used to make tiles and other building materials due to its durability and aesthetics, though it is porous and can deteriorate if not properly treated.
Traditional construction
Traditional Indian construction methods were highly energy efficient. Buildings were oriented and sited carefully, used thick insulating walls, incorporated verandahs, courtyards, and landscaping for natural cooling and ventilation. Roofs had slopes and waterproofing for drainage, and used locally available materials. Elements like domes, bungalow designs, and traditional attire required minimal energy for cooling or heating.
Cost effective materials
The document discusses several cost effective building materials including fly ash bricks, concrete masonry units, and soil cement blocks. Fly ash bricks are made from fly ash and water and cost 20% less than traditional clay bricks. Concrete masonry units use 1/3 less energy than burnt bricks and allow for steel reinforcement. Soil cement blocks are made from locally available soil, cement, and quarry dust and provide insulation without needing plaster.
Low cost housing
This case study describes a low-cost home designed for construction workers using locally available materials. The foundation uses sand-filled Coca Cola crates, the flooring consists of coconut wood and plywood sheets, and the roof is made from local palm leaves and plastic sheeting. Bamboo mat walls provide privacy and ventilation while keeping costs low.

Green building material - Compressed earth block
A compressed earth block (CEB), also known as a pressed earth block or a compressed soil block, is a building material made primarily from damp soil compressed at high pressure to form blocks.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Porotherm Bricks
Porotherm clay bricks have several advantages over traditional clay bricks including better thermal insulation, sound insulation, lighter weight, faster construction, and higher compressive strength. They help maintain a more comfortable indoor temperature and reduce energy costs. However, porotherm bricks also have the disadvantage of not being suitable for large structures or areas with high water tables due to their lower density.

Straw Bale Construction: The Application in Massachusetts
This document summarizes research on the viability of straw bale construction in Massachusetts. Small-scale plastered straw bale specimens were tested for vapor permeability, thermal resistivity, and compression strength. Additionally, a two-story straw bale house was designed for Worcester following state building codes. Testing showed plastered straw bale walls can provide insulation and strength, and a cost analysis found straw bale construction can be economically comparable to conventional methods in Massachusetts. Therefore, the research determined straw bale is a viable alternative building technique.

Biodiesel Presentation
The document discusses using microalgae to produce biodiesel as a renewable alternative fuel. Microalgae have advantages over other biodiesel feedstocks like seed oils in that they do not require arable land, can use brackish or saline water, and absorb more CO2. While open ponds are commonly used, they have issues with contamination, evaporation and land use. The aim is to use microalgae for high and cost-effective biodiesel production to address declining fossil fuels and global warming without competing with food supplies.

Explica que una ecuación lineal involucra solo sumas y restas de variables elevadas a la primera potencia y que pueden representarse como rectas en el sistema cartesiano. También define el método de sustitución como despejar una incógnita en una ecuación y sustituir su valor en otra ecuación.
A Methodology for Deriving VoIP Equipment Impairment Factors for a Mixed NB/W...
This document discusses extending the E-model to account for mixed narrowband and wideband contexts in VoIP. It evaluates several methods for deriving impairment factors (Ie,eff) for wideband equipment based on PESQ scores. The best-fitting method maps PESQ scores from narrowband and wideband tests to derive a function relating Ie,wb,eff to factors like codec, packet loss, and delay. Scatter plots and surface plots show the derived relationships accurately estimate quality impairments in mixed narrowband and wideband networks.

Memphis presentation
The document outlines a curriculum plan to improve students' thesis-driven and evidence-based writing skills through scaffolded instruction. It identifies problems with the current lack of authentic audiences, academic choice, and feedback loops. The plan aims to set specific writing goals, provide intentional basic writing instruction, incorporate classroom feedback mechanisms, and eventually publish student work for a public audience to address these problems. It emphasizes starting small, being specific, building skills sequentially, and guiding students to success.

Build Your Own Underground Root Cellar.pdf
Having a root cellar in your backyard is like having your own private supermarket of fresh fruits and vegetables. Any time you need potatoes for dinner or an apple for a snack, just open the door and walk inside. Anything you need is right there on the shelves.
But a root cellar is more than a convenience. In addition to providing the security of having a year’s supply of fruits and vegetables on hand, a root cellar offers sanctuary. In an emergency, it could shelter your family for a few hours, a few days, or even a few weeks, if necessary.
A well-built root cellar can be a good investment. It will save you money for years to come, yet if you build the cellar yourself, the cost of materials is less than you would spend in one winter buying food at supermarket prices.
A good root cellar should provide cool, above-freezing temperatures and good circulation of moderately humid air. The combination root cellar and storm shelter in this bulletin has these features plus several others that make it easy for one person — with no building experience — to build as a spare-time project.
The dirt floor takes advantage of the naturally cool, even temperature of the earth. It also cuts costs and provides needed humidity.
