bacteria bricks
https://biomason.com  The group of architects, engineers, and horticulturists at BioMason have discovered a way to make structural cement using sand and bacteria. The bacteria creates calcium carbonate that acts as a super strong glue that holds the sand together as a brick that can be used in all forms of construction. You can also make bricks out of glass, rocks, or almost any aggregate material.

Make rebar and threaded rods(CncControllers) using DIY induction furnace (http://opensourceecology.org/). Hack the Flexlock design and make with compressed earth machine, opensource ecology has plans. Threaded rods runs the height of the building and is tightened down with nuts, minimizing the concrete usage. Only the ends of the construction is filled with concrete, using much less than the (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9cDy9XkXPw  clay soil mixed with 8% cement, exceeds concrete strength) design.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgPJIq2M82o The best compressed earth block solution available (http://www.dwellearth.com). We traveled far into the coffee covered mountains in El Salvador to provide a community with a tool and skills so that they can build themselves quality houses from the dirt under their feet. As you can see by the fist few pictures many around the world are already trying to build with what they have in the communities they live in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWUD7oO4vIg uses a soil/clay slurry(high water content) instead of cement to cement the bricks in place. Slurry is same content as bricks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_553179&feature=iv&src_vid=CWUD7oO4vIg&v=lAdZmlwmveQ. Hack the Vermeer patent on compressed bricks.

This same information, including Plans Dimensionados, is available as PDF document for free on the WEB. CETA RAM CONSTRUCTION MANUAL (1981) reads: "It is a simple, easy-to-copy machine, the design of which has not been and will not be patented. Replicas of CETA RAM can be built using Use of the material presented in Part Two of this Manual, which includes detailed drawings, instructions and specifications for the artisan manufacture of one or a few units at a time. Therefore, the project is in the public domain, without patents; So much so that in Mexico there is at least one workshop that manufactures and commercializes it on a small scale. Likewise, it is known that it has been manufactured and used in other countries.
