[Cob] building codes rant

[Shody Ryon]

Hi,
For those who would like or need permits,
I wonder if cob could have a minimum compression
failure PSI amount per width, highth (sp) ratio or
some other measurement of wall slope and the structure
could be suject to a tractor or winch pull with a load
meter for a sheer pull test with an inspector
supplying or calibrating the meter and observing the
tests. Perhaps the tractor could be connected to the
roof ridge beam for one direction and the rafters or
facia for the other?
(sorry about reposting the idea!)
Shody
