Increases the effective structural number, allowing fill requirements and costs to be cut in half. Allows use of lower-quality, less costly on-site infill materials. Creates a stiffened base layer, and the resulting increase in base strength can be used to reduce the pavement depth design up to 30%

Bricks from plastic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckWqR1JD158 Plastic waste is becoming a scourge of the earth. Lack of recycling has led to massive islands being created in the ocean made of plastic. New eco friendly plastic & sand tiled houses are starting to be a common sight in Africa. Containers, bags, soda holders and all other types of plastic get wrapped around sea life or ingested leading to their demise. A few individuals though have taking it upon themselves to create machines and processes to create something useful from waste plastic. On this episode we'll how to to recycle waste plastic into paving tiles from 6 different sources. Pavement tiles made from plastic waste only benefit everyone and have no downside to them. Whether it's roof tiles or pavements made from plastic waste these processes will remove plastic from the environment.

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.

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.
