Dachverband Lehm e.V. › Earthen Building Techniques and Technology

<body> <h1>Earthen building techniques.</h1> <p>Earth can be used in a variety of different ways for most parts of a building from floors and ceilings to walls and roofs. The proportion of earthen building materials used varies according to situation and construction method – the term “earthen building” is therefore relative. Supporting walls can be made entirely of rammed earth or in combination with wood as a timber-frame construction.</p> <ul> <li><a href="../gb/03_material/03-3a_building_techniques.htm" target="inhalt">Floors</a></li> <li><a href="../gb/03_material/03-3b_building_techniques.htm" target="inhalt">Loadbearing walls</a></li> <li><a href="../gb/03_material/03-3c_building_techniques.htm" target="inhalt">Freestanding walls</a></li> <li><a href="../gb/03_material/03-3d_building_techniques.htm" target="inhalt">Ceilings and roofs</a></li> <li><a href="../gb/03_material/03-3e_building_techniques.htm" target="inhalt">Dry construction</a></li> <li><a href="../gb/03_material/03-3f_building_techniques.htm" target="inhalt">Plastering</a></li> </ul> </body>
