Rammed Earth(Mud wall), Sample making 2022 Part-1 

Thank you ☺

Thanks for the tip!

Thank you 😊

Hi, we just saw a few videos and tried making our own frama.

We are from Bangalore, Karnataka

@@aslampashak8658 is there any rammed earth workshop training ?

For fixing one farma(mould), we have used 2 rods and 2 flats(Patti), both the flats have rod diameter holes at both the ends and one end of the rod is welded with washer and other end is free to insert inside the flat(patti) holes. We can use different methods like big nut bolt system etc to make the farma(mould) hold together so that when soil is compacted it manually it will not expand.

Thank you🌹

Around 30 to 40mins

Hi, please see our other videos in which I hope you can find an idea.

Thank you 💐

Hi, Yes it resists humidity, using cement will harden it and we have tried it for the 1st time, complete one night we have left it to get dried, 60 inches long, 16 inches thick and 24 inches height

Thank you🌹

Cement is the common stabilizer while planning stabilized mud blocks (SMB), Cement and lime are stabilizers in our construction. For your reference Book Name: Building with stabilized mud Author Name: K.S. Jagadish refer page-6 and page-64.

thank you, the rammed earth sample size is 24 inches(height) x 18 inches (thickness) x 60 inches (length).

Thank you😊

No, it's a new experience for us in the field of rammed earth construction. You can refer to the below mentioned book for more information Book Name: Building with stabilized mud Author Name: K.S. Jagadish Thank you...

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bmEXp9JPsGI.html Using 9% cement and 91% soil we got quite good walls with good strength.

Yes, rammed earth wall cost is less compare to conventional construction cost

Sample making and testing was done in Bangalore (Karnataka).

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2aSEDN2tc3g.html We need to do the foundation before making the rammed earth walls.

1) We are not using any external coating for now(we are planning for that) but we have elevated the roof 3 feet outside the building and 3' feet towards the courtyard in our Building-1 so that direct rain water falling on the walls is avoided. For making sample we have used different proportion of cement, lime powder and soil. 1) Soil 93% and 7% cement 2) Soil 93% and 7% lime powder 3) Soil 93%, 3.5% cement and 3.5% lime powder For making Building-1 we have used 91% soil and 9% cement and little lime powder we mixed in water to make the perfect mixture. 2) You can try because even we are doing this work based on trial error method for the 1st time. You can refer Book: "Building with stabilized mud" author name: K.S Jagadish etc 3) Still our work is under process, we have not yet calculated the cost, we assume 70% labour cost and 30% materials cost.

Use petrol, kerosene or diesel on the board so that soil won't get stuck on the board, don't use oil because it will get stuck to the wall and will effect the wall treatment with water and it will also block air flow.

@@iamgroot4706 Thank you for the suggestion.

We have rammed the soil mixture manually.
