I know CEB as Compressed Earth Building or Compressed Earth Bricks. A few years ago, a company called QuickBrick USA, LLC near Orlando (Sorrento, FL) announced that they would soon be building homes from bricks made from compressed dirt. I did see the bricks they produced. Very impressive. I do not know if this company managed to build any homes. The web site that they had no longer responds. Here is an article I did find: http://www.mmdnewswire.com/new-interlocking-brick-for-home-construction-can-withstand-240-mph-winds-512-2.html
