[Cob] Cob pdf

[Amanda Peck]

Link works.  But it might well not work with webtv, even with the software.

.pdf files are frequently a pain for Windows users because they tend to clog 
or freeze things up--better on Mac--but you do have to have the free! 
software from Adobe.

I hate .pdf files.  You can print out the whole thing, but if you can print 
out, say, just the pages on siting a building on a steep hill, which are 
applicable to many of us, I haven't figured it out.

By the way, Minke shows that round, or rounded, buildings are by their 
nature more earthquake-proof than square, and that a long, narrow 
(house-trailer) shape may be worse than that, depending on which way the 
shock is coming.

I also put the link in because it might be useful to show a structural 
engineer about strength--not just earthquake-proofness--of an earthen 
building.

sagemoon sent just this--not quite sure why:
