U2 – INFILL AND PREFAB Learning Outcomes

U2 Levels 3+4 – ECVET Credit points: 15

Knowledge Skills

Trainees know !

• about building regulations according to the countries rules

• the tools and machines used on the straw bale construction sites

• possible dangers, safe working practices, accident prevention regulations and security data sheets

• specific problems of straw bale building site organization

• how to read and understand plans and construction drawings

• different structural options and infill methods (boards, distances according to bale measures, compression, diagonal bracing)

• that it is necessary to fix the bales, and know different technologies to do it

• that it is necessary, to avoid gaps and therefore compress bales and have different technologies to do it

• how to assess and select the best infill- or prefabrication-method according to time, schedule, budget, resources and site requirements

• about prefabrication, its specific features of planning, its advantages and disadvantages.

• how to join to adjacent building elements (floor- and roof plates, openings)

Trainees can !

• quality control existing constructions • handle tools and machines which are used in

straw bale construction • execute different Infill construction methods,

adjust the bales if required and use different compression-, stabilization- and fixing-techniques

• prefabricate straw bale elements (walls, roofs, floors)

• implement diagonal bracing in the construction and bales (notched,!) according to static needs and plans

• fill the holes with enough pressure • connect boards and window frames properly

(airtight, structurally sound!) • calculate building material

Competence Trainees: • are aware of health and safety in relation to other workers, building site, machinery, equipment, PPE

(personal protective equipment) and of issues specific to working with straw and straw bales. • can organize the building site at all stages ( i.e.: take responsibility that they leave the building site

rainproof!) • can take responsibility of the requirements of straw building in a “normal” building routine • can explain different examples of infill and prefabrication techniques and their advantages and

disadvantages. • can estimate the dangers and avoid them on building site • can organize work and do it in time

U2 i1 – Tools on Building Site

Leonardo2015

Specialist tools

Tape measure: Used for measuring bales

Pencil / screw-driver or similar: Useful for marking the point where a bale will be split.

Handsaw: Used for notching bales in the absence of power tools.

Hatchet: Used for initial pointing of hazel stubs and pins.

Retractable (Stanley) knife: Used for cutting baling twine and sharpening hazel stubs and pins.

Baling needles: Baling needles are used for inserting new strings through straw bales, usually when splitting or resizing bales.

Gap filler: Gap fillers are simple tools for pushing straw into hard-to-reach places (such as into fixing-post notches)

Persuader: A persuader is a special hammer with a large surface area which is used to adjust the position of straw bales in the wall when leveling.
