Abstract

This paper aimed to evaluate a straw bale house. An extensive test program was carried out. The experimental work includes compression tests, moisture content, compensation test and pH. The in-situ work includes temperature and relative humidity inside the straw bale wall. The stress-strain behavior of straw bales is investigated including nonlinearity and anisotropy. The deformation modulus and the resilient behavior are studied considering time dependence. The moisture content of straw bale was about 11%, while pH value inside the bale was about 7.29. Moreover, the temperature and the relative humidity between the interior (inside straw bale) and the exterior are studied for several straw bale thicknesses.
