Mud House 
Thin Mud Load Bearing Walls
The aims and objectives were achieved by studying the evolutionary changes from the nest technology of primitive man to the technology of highrise sky-scrapers of the present day, utilizing this knowledge for the construction of low cost, structurally stable, environmentally balanced, hygienic and comfortable houses.
Keeping in perspective the socioeconomic; geographical condition and natural resources for constructional materials of a region, this technology emerged contrasting modern buildings made of steel, brick, cement and associated materials.
Evaluation of the concept started in 1985.
Finally construction started in 1994 for a mud house based upon experimental data in Mornai Tea Estate at Ding-dinga in Kokrajhar district, within the state of Assam.
Technology to overcome the disadvantages of the new concept
We are limited only on the techniques adopted. Mathematical details, chemistry and physics involved in the technology are trade secrets.
Other features
A special type of corner joint with bamboo and mud is designed to absorb the shocks of earthquake. In already constructed Mud House thickness of the load bearing walls is 300 mm. Very recently we have been able to reduce the thickness by 100m i.e., now the thickness of the load bearing walls come to 200mm considering the effective height of the building.
Materials
Materials which contests the conventional materials for structure both in cost and quality are:
