[GSBN] New publication on Building with straw

[feb at asl.uni-kassel.de]

Dear All,

we would like to inform you, that we published the results of our
research project on loadbearing straw bale structures  in the new book:
Minke, G.; Krick, B.: Handbuch Strohballenbau.
There you will find new data of the  embedded energy (primary energy) of
different straw bale structures, simulations on fungus growth, values
for thermal conductivity, test results of deforming and decrease of
pretensioning forces. You find also a chapter on vaults and domes from
bales and some new buildings from Europe.

Sorry! the book is in German, but I think scientific data you will
understand without knowing German.

You can order the book at
 www.oekobuch.de
 or by e-mail: oekebuch at t-online.de

Best regards
Gernot Minke
