Abstract

The strawbale house can be one of the best alternatives for the country like India where agriculture is still the main source of income. It is obvious that people want to live in eco-friendly houses making it as a part of environment and their life. The strawbale houses are effective in cost with high health value, aesthetic value, thermal performance, fire resistance, light weight and ecofriendly in nature. We can go with the various techniques of construction as load bearing strawbale construction or non-load bearing strawbale construction as per the circumstances. It can be one of the best alternatives for all kind of people for constructing an economic building with a sustainable material. This project gives in brief, the result of the compression strength, absorption test, impact test, hardness test on the strawbale bricks. This project includes the compression testing machine to determine the crushing strength and weighing machine to determine the weight of the bricks.
