Cob:

On the other hand, if these are steel H-beams, then you are going to have cob inside the H and on the outside of the H ie. the surface of the post. So the post is sandwiched on 4 sides by cob. so there would be no need for the bamboo or waddle sticks for the cob to grab on nor would there be any need for passages in the posts since the H would serve as a key-way. It would seem that if you are going to use steel beams or posts, then you might as well put strips of foam insulation against the face of the posts since this "unnatrural" package would then not transmit heat or cold and would preclude the humidity question as well.
