  • cob....sand vs perlite or pumice (cob forum at permies)

    1. I can imagine the mohs hardness of the sand vs. the pumice or perlite is a determining factor on durability and how it holds up under the weight of compression. Compression strength is a big factor in "structural walls," yet has little to no bearing on infill systems. 70 percent sand and 30 percent silt and clay.

    In this study, sand and pumice (diameter 1–2 mm) were used. Prior to the isoterm adsorption study, the materials were washed with deionised water and dried at 80 °C for 24 h. Afterwards, the isotherm adsorption was carried out by weighing 0.5g of each adsorbent and the weighed samples were placed in the containers.
