Can Hemcrete® be used in a loadbearing capacity?
A. Tradical® Hemcrete® has a compressive strength of around 116 to 145 PSI depending on method of application. It is normally used together with a framing system (usually wood but steel or concrete are also viable), with the frame transferring the vertical load of the roof and upper floors. The Hemcrete® can be used to provide racking strength to the frame if required.
