House of pressed shellfish

WDo you now what on earth is the place where the houses are built of pressed shells of shellfish? While this technology is not mastered the construction in some exotic countries, and in Russia in the Crimea!

Tnly during his recent trip to the Crimea, I discovered such a stuff like coquina (Or shell, rakushnik) - a stone sea natural origin, which consists of the Black Sea ot hardened shells of mollusks.

INydelyayut four varieties of limestone, depending on the density and porosity of the block.

Hcities account for major bearing capacity has a block mark M10. It and try to choose for the construction of houses.

ABOUTbychno for the construction of houses made of coquina construction workers erect reinforced concrete frame, and after that lay a wall sawn limestone blocks.

That's how we in Russia can build the house from the shells of shellfish!

The price of shell rock varies from 2 to 3 thousand rubles per cubic meter, which makes it a very attractive building material: it is even cheaper aerocrete!
