When I was on the tour, they did list a specific PSI that they tested the bricks to. I just don't recall the exact number, so I don't want to make something up and spread misinformation.

They had done some pretty scientific testing of the bricks, and they seem to be a very good material to work with.

This one day was my only experience ever working with earth bricks, so I am not an expert, I'm just trying to help share a bit of a neat project someone else is doing.

I definately recommend to anyone interested to visit their web page.
