I wrote out of turn and mentioned strawbale which was off base to the subject at hand.
guess I still have some straw dust in the brain.
The cob homes in europe have huge cross beams of wood. Wood of course bonds well with the cob.
Bricks are attached concrete and steel by allowing straps to be set in the cement of the bricks.
I guess the idea would be to attached similar bands to the steel and then tie into the cob wall.
