A compressed earth block (CEB), also known as a pressed earth block or a compressed soil block, is a building material made primarily from an appropriate mix of fairly dry inorganic subsoil, non-expansive clay, sand, and aggregate. Forming compressed earth blocks requires dampening, mechanically pressing at high pressure, and then drying the ...

Because the mortar is not compressed, it is less water-resistant than some of the other designs.

The Template:Brick_chart/Bricks draws bricks for {{Brick chart}}. The bricks are displayed as 1, 2 or 3 bar line segments, depending on the offset and count numbers. Parameters: count - the number (or decimal) to represent by bar line segments; offset - the sum of prior count numbers (can be: 2+5+7.8, etc.) stride - width of lines (in number ...
