That seems like it wouldn't work. Why not just do earth bricks?

>>2981820
of course it would work, but it would take 300 billion years to do the first layer because you have to move the pins every few cm

>>2981820
Done in 2 days, photo layer

Do you just fling the mud in there while it's balanced on the top of the wall once it gets above a couple feet?

>>2981826
its compressed earth with water and 15% cement, done in a mixer == NOT mud

>>2981816
its hyperadobe, dumbass.

super adobe = earth bags

hyper adobe = tubes

Earth is a full retard building material, add sodium silicate and NaOH and create a geopolymer instead

When I was in south America (great blow and hookers btw) I saw them using something similar to make retaining walls on some highways, but they used some kind of mesh to contain the earth, worked pretty well because that shit was hard as a rock, maybe you need soil with a ton of clay.

Yeah sorry. I'm not poor, uneducated, and actually have skills. I'll stick with concrete walls and metal framing.

Yeah sorry. I'm not poor, uneducated, and actually have skills. I'll stick with massive stone walls and antique cedar framing.

Thanks for sharing your blow and hooker story on /diy/

Yelling "adobe" isn't helping. What types of soils are best?

Its like a primitive curb machine.

>>2981966
Does that machine set-in any rebar?

>>2981969
Why would you want rebar in a kerb. Americas are fucking obsessed with rebar you'd think it was made of McDonalds burger or something.
Rebar adds tensile strength. Something kerbs do not need. Something most concrete does not need.
Oh and by the way rebar is steel which rusts and expands and blows out concrete when it gets wet. Guess what concrete needs to cure that's right water. Rebar is retarded most of the time

>>2982016
Does all that mean no?

>>2982016
Based rebar hater.

>>2982016
makes good tent pegs though. I made some out of 1/2" rebar, welded a hook on the side and sharpened the end. I can just about bust those fuckers through cement with my mini sledge hammer. National parks be damned with their solid lime camp sites.

>>2982016
>kerbs do not need tensile strength
When run over, doesn't the bottom of the curb experience tension?

>>2982143
No. The tire is pressing down so compression.

>>2981900
magic glass (drain cleaner+cat liter) and drain cleaner thats a geopolymer? i thought xanathum gum, dishwasher soap and cement was easy.

you might benefit from a cursory study on i-beams/h-beams

Not really an issue since the kerb is supported by the road bedding and typically not large enough for settling to be a major issue. If the road itself can't support the kerb adequately, well, now you have bigger issues

>>2981957
I would actually like to hear more about this

>>2984595
Not so much, actually. They do run after you if you show signs of wealth (watch, iphone, clean underwear...) and do all the silly stuff with no rubber - for $10 or less - and try to hook you into sponsoring their sick grandma, gifted nephew, or brothers promising business venture.
In short, dip in, get out, run away, get clean. In that order. The 'run away' part is very important.
