Re-Examining Sewn Earthbag Geometries and Their Impact on Structure and Construction Workflow
Earthbag construction, also known as flexible form rammed earth construction, takes advantage of the sandbag’s capabilities to contain and support the earth as it is compressed and hardened.
However, when compared to other earth construction techniques, earthbag construction is not as robustly tested. A lack of building regulations and safety requirements pertaining to earthbags consequentially restrict its application in non-code zones.
The overarching goals of the study include the following: (1) improving earthbag accessibility in craft; (2) optimizing or improving the earthbag as a module for carrying earth; and (3) revisit craft at the scale of the earthbag.
