- m4rtink 6y agoMany older village houses here in Czech Republic are made from compressed earth bricks (using local materials & not fired). As long as you keep them dry, they will last basically forever. If they get wet, they loose all strength and the building collapses, making any floods particularly dangerous for such buildings.
- hosh 6y agoDo you think the k-briq they are talking about here will also lose cohesion when things get wet?
