[Cob] cob shake test infodhowell at pickensprogressonline.com dhowell at pickensprogressonline.comWed May 16 15:10:05 CDT 2012
Hi Professor Ventura, I am currently researching the structural integrity of unreinforced cob and have found you were head of a shake test performed by UBC, the city of Vancouver and Stanley Park Ecological Society back in 2004. I have found various articles and video on the web, but no paperwork which building officials will accept. Would you be so kind as to deliver me information/results from that test which I will be able to include (with your permission) in a presentation to my building department? I'm confident the rich community of eco-conscious builders in British Columbia and the United States will be able to move natural building a step forward if only this information was readily available to them and their local planning and development office. I would greatly appreciate your help on this research. I have sent a copy of this email to a mass e-mail list for the cob community to follow. Thank you for your time. Damon Howell
