Abstract
The best practices of using low-tech traditional materials are summarized, and the role of clay in modern architectural design and construction is revealed. The cost of energy for the construction of buildings with the use of ecological clay technology is much lower than with the use of industrial building construction technologies. Thermophysical and bioclimatic studies have allowed determining the thermal properties of walls made of clay, clay materials and their role in the formation of a comfortable microclimate of the premises. When examining the carrying capacity of the structural system of buildings, vulnerable buildings were identified, on the basis of which research and development constructive methods for strengthening clay walls were developed and proposed for use in the practice of designing and building buildings. They ensure high reliability and comfort of living of people in the standard and special climatic conditions of the territories. The developed methods of strengthening the structural parts and the technology of construction made of clay with high reliability will expand the construction in normal and special climatic conditions of the territories.
Highlights
The purpose of the study is based on the study of the history and technology of construction of buildings made of Adobe walls in different climatic conditions, identifying the advantages and vulnerabilities of parts of buildings made of clay and the development of design solutions
The widespread use of clay in modern construction of buildings and structures is dictated by the fact that the construction of a building made of clay material has a number of serious advantages such as: strength, durability, resistance and fire resistance; low cost and availability, a huge stock in all regions of the world; simplicity of construction and construction of the building; environmental friendliness; adaptability; low thermal conductivity and at the same time high accumulative ability to heat the building; permeability to solar energy, and at the same time protected from harmful solar radiation; applicability in all climatic zones of the globe
The building with clay walls is much lighter in comparison with other materials due to the smaller volume weight of the clay-straw mass and by reducing the thickness of the walls
Summary
The purpose of the study is based on the study of the history and technology of construction of buildings made of Adobe walls in different climatic conditions, identifying the advantages and vulnerabilities of parts of buildings made of clay and the development of design solutions.
