Title |
PREFABRICATED LOAD BEARING WALL PANELS - EFFECTIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR EARTH STRUCTURES |
|
|
|
Abstract |
The paper outlines first results and experience of using prefabricated load bearing wall panels with wooden frame and rammed earth core. The aim of the project was to verify possibilities of manufacturing prefabricated earth structures and their
behaviour leading to higher efficiency of using earth as a modern building material. They are no practical experience in the branch of using contemporary pre-formed or prefabricated earthen structures in the Czech conditions. To date, prefabrication has
been used by only a very small number of examples. Realized foreign pilot projects used prefabricated earthen structures [1], [2], [3] show large potential and number of benefits.
