Earthbag construction – Building method; Earthship – Style of architecture that uses native materials and upcycled materials to build homes; Geotechnical engineering – Scientific study of earth materials in engineering problems; Green building – Structures and processes of building structures that are more environmentally responsible
It is a natural building technique developed from historic military bunker construction techniques and temporary flood-control dike building methods. The technique requires very basic construction materials: sturdy sacks filled with organic material usually available on site. Standard earthbag fill material has internal stability.
