Hi all,
 
You probably already know this, but just in case you don't, there is a great book on earthbag building:
 
Earthbag Building: The Tools, Tricks, and Techniques by Kaki Hunter and Donald Kiffmeyer
 
Cheers,
 
Beverly Shultz

Subject: [Cob] dirt bags



Hi,

I guess this is not exactly the place to ask for help, as dirtbags
buildings are not exactly cob, but I can't think of a better place to ask.

I'm planning to build a dirtbag dome (5m diameter) and I need to know
what would be the ideal shape (curve) for this kind of corbelled dome.
Does anyone here have relevant information on this subject?

Thanks in advance,

Nico.
