[Cob] EU regulations for building with clay and earthMark Piepkorn duckchow at potkettleblack.comMon May 7 06:44:34 CDT 2007
It's in German, and it's not free, but there it is. - - - - - http://www.earthbuilding.info/standards/ To improve and ease the appropriate and correct use of clay and earth as a building material and to ensure the ecological quality of this building material is respected the Dachverband Lehm e.V. published the "Lehmbau Regeln" in 1999, the first technical building regulations for building with clay and earth in the European Union. For the first time since 1971, when then previous relevant DIN regulations were withdrawn, regulations detailing concrete construction guidelines for building with earth now exist. The Fachkommission Baunormung, the expert panel of the cooperative ARGEBAU, has included the "Lehmbau Regeln" in the list of recognised model technical building regulations.
