Then bags are packed on an angle so that the loop over the clear space, such that no bags are being supported by thye angled bags and so the vault is created to the other end.



I thought this might be the case too, but from the other pics on their website, it doesn't appear they bag all the way across, but they stop bagging and change techniques. Superadobe is used only for the buttress. I just don't know what technique they use to complete the "roof" of the vault.

Does anyone know what technique calearth uses for it's vaults? In pictures I can see they use superadobe for the base, but then it seems they vault wire mesh over the bags. I'm guessing they use ferrocement, but I'm not sure. Anyone know for certain?
