Cob & Timber Frame

[Otherfish at aol.com]

there is some evidence that cob walls that are carrying a load from above
(i.e. roof or upper floor load) will perform better in an earthquake that cob
walls that are not supporting a load - it has to do with restraining the top
of the wall from both horizontal out of plane movement and vertical over
tuning - mignt be good to take this into consideration in your design
