Includes bibliographical references (p. 18). “A method has been developed for prestressing stacked strawbale and other baled fibre building constructions, in which the prestressing is effected by means of the wire or plastic mesh which covers the exterior and interior surface of the strawbales. The mesh is normally required in any case to reinforce final stucco/gypsum renderings against shrinkage cracking. The prestressing method actually reduces the number of steps and components entailed in "Nebraska Strawbale" wall construction, the pioneer and still leading one-hundred-year-old model"--Summary, p. i.
