Hi Builders,
I'm new to this group, so please excuse me if this is an old topic. I
was wondering if anyone has worked with rice hull papercrete or rice
hull stabilized earth (earth with lime or cement added)?
I was thinking that material might be a winner here in Cambodia for
low-cost housing, either as panels or blocks. Could be tipped up into
place or block set-up like cinder block with mortar joints. Could
even do hollow blocks.
What kind of hull/cement/soil or paper ratios would be required? Does
anyone have a recipe book?
Has anyone tried papercrete panels with internal bamboo frames? How
about shattered bamboo added to the mix?
How will the stuff hold-up in a wet monsoon environment??
Any thoughts?
