There are several houses of earthen construction near my home in Texas, and they are beautiful structures; both the rammed earth and compressed earth block buildings. Many of the documents I am finding regarding construction with these materials deal with one or two story homes. I'm wondering: what are the codes that to abide by in order to construct a building that is greater than two stories with these alternative construction materials?
