Cob is an earthen building material composed of sand, clay and straw. Though cob homes\ud are presently being built in the Pacific Northwest, there is no applicable building code for this\ud material. The purpose of this study is to establish estimates for the major engineering parameters,\ud including both average values and degree of variability between builders from the central and\ud northern Willamette Valley. The secondary purpose of this study is to identify correlations\ud between engineering properties and mixture composition. The results of this study demonstrated\ud that cob has a larger variation in properties between builders than conventional building materials\ud such as concrete or steel. However, the variability is not so l...
