However, during the long-term exposure to the environment, remaining earthen structures suffered serious deterioration caused by many influencing factors. The shallow surfaces of the earthen walls can be fully saturated by the concentrated and heavy rains to form flowing slurry, which will be turned into strongly cracked surface crusts during the following intense evaporation and peeled off by wind deflation. In the meantime, salts could be accumulated in the remains to a quite high content, which could exacerbate the deterioration conversely. In this work, desiccation tests were conducted in laboratory on the initially saturated slurry specimens with different thicknesses and NaCl contents and thicknesses. Development of crack patterns on the surface of the specimen was monitored with a digital camera and analyzed using commercialized software. Results indicated that the evaporation process of NaCl-contaminated specimens could be identified as three stages, which has the same configuration as that of salt-free specimens. Cracking behavior of soil that closely correlates to the evaporation process was also influenced. As the NaCl content increases, the CIF values, intersection number, segment number as well as the total crack length decreases. A non-orthogonal crack pattern and orthogonal crack pattern were dominant for thin and thick specimens, respectively. © 2016 .","Conservation; Cracking; Deterioration; Earthen heritage; Evaporation; Sodium chloride","Conservation; Crack initiation; Deterioration; Driers (materials); Evaporation; Sodium chloride; Soil pollution; Contaminated soils; Cracking behavior; Earthen heritage; Earthen structures; Evaporation process; Intersection number; Long term exposure; Orthogonal cracks; Cracks; cracking; desiccation; evaporation; heritage conservation; sodium chloride; soil mechanics; China",,,,,"China Atomic Energy Authority, CAEA: [2011]1051; National High-tech Research and Development Program: 2011AA050604","The authors are grateful to the National High Technology Research and Development Program of China (863 Program: 2011AA050604 ) and China Atomic Energy Authority (Project [2011]1051 ) for their financial support.",,,,,,,,,,"Abou Najm, M., Jesiek, J., Mohtar, R.H., Lura, P., Sant, G., Assessing the role of the pore solution concentration on horizontal deformations in an unsaturated soil specimen during drying (2012) Geoderma, 187, pp. 31-40; Arnold, J.G., Potter, K.N., King, K.W., Allen, P.M., Estimation of soil cracking and the effect on surface runoff in a Texas Blackland Prairie watershed (2005) Hydrol.

So far, there is only a small number of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) available, all target for industrially-based materials. Although vernacular earthen materials are seen as ecological materials, with low potential environmental impacts, there are no studies that allow to quantitatively compare these materials with conventional ones, according to the applicable standards. In the case of Portugal, there are no EPDs or studies for these materials and the studies available worldwide are hard to compare, since they not follow the same life-cycle assessment methodology. This paper aims at contributing to a better understanding about the environmental performance of earthen materials by presenting results from the life cycle assessment of Compressed Earth Blocks (CEBs) and Rammed earth, based on specific life cycle inventory values obtained from a producer company, following the guidance provided by the standard EN15804. Among other conclusions, results show that CEB and Rammed earth have a total Embodied Energy of 3.94 MJ/block and 596 MJ/1 m3 and a Global Warming Potential of 0.39 kg CO2 eq/block and 47.5 kg CO2 eq./1 m3, respectively. In a cradle-to-gate analysis of different walls, the use of earthen building elements can result in reducing the potential environmental impacts in about 50%, when compared to the use of conventional ones. Additionally, the advantages of using earthen materials are also discussed for the different building life-cycle stages, focusing on the possibility to recycle these materials in a closed-loop approach. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd","Compressed earth block (CEB); Earthen architecture; Environmental impacts; Life-cycle assessment; Rammed earth; Vernacular architecture","Carbon dioxide; Environmental management; Global warming; Life cycle; Compressed earth blocks; Earthen architectures; Life Cycle Assessment (LCA); Rammed earth; Vernacular architecture; Environmental impact",,,,,"Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, FCT: PD / BD/113641/2015, POCI-01-0145-FEDER-029328","The authors would like to acknowledge the support granted by the FEDER funds through the Competitivity and Internationalization Operational Programme (POCI) and by national funds through FCT—Foundation for Science and Technology within the scope of the project with the reference POCI-01-0145-FEDER-029328 , and of the Ph.D. grant with the reference PD / BD/113641/2015 , that were fundamental for the development of this study.

Most conventional consolidation treatments used in the past have not succeeded in providing a long-term solution because they did not tackle the main cause of degradation, the expansion and contraction of constituent clay minerals in response to humidity changes. Clay swelling could be reduced significantly by transforming clay minerals into non-expandable binding materials with cementing capacity using alkaline activation. It is demonstrated that a significant degree of clay mineral dissolution and transformation is achieved upon activation with 5. M NaOH and 5. M KOH solutions. Furthermore, adobe test blocks impregnated with either 5. M NaOH or 5. M KOH solution experience an important improvement in water resistance and mechanical strength. The influence of structural and compositional differences of clay minerals commonly present in earthen structures on their reactivity under high pH conditions and the consolidation efficacy of the various alkaline solutions are discussed. Also addressed are possible side effects of the alkaline treatment such as colour change and the formation of potentially damaging salts. © 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS.","Adobe; Alkaline activation; Clay minerals; Consolidation; Earthen architecture; Geopolymers; Mechanical strength; Rammed earth; Salt damage; Zeolite synthesis",,,,,,"CGL2012-35992; Junta de Andalucía: RNM-179","This work was financially supported by the Spanish Government (Grant CGL2012-35992 ) and the Junta de Andalucía (Research Group RNM-179 ).

Most of the earthen dwellings in Burkina Faso are built traditionally with adobe walls. This construction technique is low-cost but it is easily eroded by water and often lacks satisfactory thermal comfort. In this work an alternative low-cost earthen construction system, the earthbag technique is presented and combined with passive design measures to assess the improvements in thermal comfort. Inspired in a real dome-shape earthbag dwelling constructed in a Medical Training Center in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), free-floating building energy simulations were performed for both the traditional adobe Burkinabe dwelling and the earthbag dwelling using EnergyPlus. Besides free-floating direct temperature results, two indicators of annual comfort were used, namely the hours of discomfort and the discomfort degree days. ASHRAE Standard 55 Adaptive Comfort model was used to assess comfort conditions. Results show that the combination of night ventilation and roof solar protection in the high-inertia earthbag building leads to an almost total elimination of thermal discomfort during the year (only 209 h not meeting adaptive comfort and 3.1 ºC-days of discomfort). The same combination of passive measures in the traditional Burkinabe dwelling improves significantly thermal comfort when compared to the base case, but it is not as effective in providing comfort, with more than 3000 h and 200 degree-days of annual discomfort. © 2019 The Authors","Earthbag building; Earthen architecture; Energy simulation; Hot semi-arid climate; Superadobe; Thermal comfort","ASHRAE standards; Costs; Developing countries; Housing; Thermal comfort; Walls (structural partitions); Adaptive comfort models; Building energy simulations; Construction technique; Earthen architectures; Earthen constructions; Energy simulation; Semi-arid climate; Superadobe; Structural design",,,,,"Generalitat de Catalunya: 2017-2018; Universitat de Lleida, UdL","The authors would like to thank the “Oficina de Desenvolupament i Cooperació (ODEC)” of the University of Lleida (UdL), Spain, for the grant projects of 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, the “Escola Politècnica Superior” of UdL, the “Consell Social” of UdL for their donatives, and Domoterra association.

The Medical Center is located in Boulmiuogou District, one of the areas of Ouagadougou with highest demand for medical infrastructures [4] . The project aimed to build a part of the residential area for the volunteers and students of the Medical Center. In addition, the project contributed with the spread of knowledge of this low cost building technique among the Burkinabe population.

This paper aims at contributing to this research context by studying site-specific strategies, and the thermal performance and comfort conditions of a rammed earth building located in southern Portugal. The study is based on objective and subjective assessments and consists of assessing the hygrothermal conditions, thermal comfort levels and analysing the occupants’ perception regarding thermal sensation. The results showed that the strategies used are closely related to local conditions, mitigating the effects of high summer temperatures and ensuring a good summer thermal performance by passive means alone. During the summer monitoring, results showed that the building stayed most of the time (80%) in Category I (high level of expectation) and the remaining time in Category II, according to the classification method defined by the standard EN15251. During the winter period, the building had the worst performance, being necessary a heating system to guarantee comfort conditions. Additionally, the results showed that the good thermal performance of the case study depended more on the high thermal inertia than on the U-value of the envelope. Limitations and advantages of the use of earthen construction elements are discussed. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd","Bioclimatic; Indoor comfort evaluation; Passive cooling strategies; Rammed earth; Thermal performance; Vernacular earthen architecture","Thermal comfort; Bioclimatic; Earthen architectures; Indoor comforts; Passive cooling; Rammed earth; Thermal Performance; Buildings; bioclimatology; building; cooling; heating; indoor air; perception; performance assessment; quantitative analysis; strategic approach; summer; Portugal",,,,,"Fuel Cycle Technologies, FCT; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, FCT: PD/BD/113641/2015, POCI-01-0145-FEDER-029328; European Regional Development Fund, FEDER","The authors would like to acknowledge the support granted by the FEDER funds through the Competitively and Internationalization Operational Programme ( POCI ) and by national funds through FCT —Foundation for Science and Technology within the scope of the project with the reference POCI-01-0145-FEDER-029328 , and of the Ph.D. grant with the reference PD/BD/113641/2015 , that were fundamental for the development of this study.

Earth massive walls are universally known to be able to regulate indoor thermal and hygroscopic conditions containing energy consumptions, creating comfortable interior spaces with a low carbon footprint. Therefore, earth buildings are de facto green buildings. As a result of this, some earthen technologies have been rediscovered and implemented to be adapted to the contemporary building production sector. Nevertheless, the diffusion of contemporary earthen architecture is decelerated by the lack of broadly accepted standards on its anti-seismic and thermal performance. Indeed, the former issue has been solved using high-tensile materials inside the walls or surface reinforcements on their sides to improve their flexural strength. The latter issue is related to the penalization of earth walls thermal behavior in current regulations, which tent to evaluate only the steady-state performance of building components, neglecting the benefit of heat storage and hygrothermal buffering effect provided by massive and porous envelopes as raw earth ones. In this paper, we show the results of a paper review concerning the hygrothermal performance of earthen materials for contemporary housing: great attention is given to the base materials which are used (inorganic soils, natural fibers, and mineral or recycled aggregates, chemical stabilizers), manufacturing procedures (when described), performed tests and final performances. Different earth techniques (adobe, cob, extruded bricks, rammed earth, compressed earth blocks, light earth) have been considered in order to highlight that earth material can act both as a conductive and insulating meterial depending on how it is implemented, adapting to several climate contests. The paper aims to summarize current progress in the improvement of thermal performance of raw earth traditional mixes, discuss the suitability of existing measurement protocols for hygroscopic and natural materials and provide guidance for further researches. © 2019 by the authors.","Green buildings; Hygrothermal characterization; Raw earth constructions; Sustainable architecture","building; carbon footprint; construction material; hygroscopicity; literature review; recycling; sheet piled wall; wall",,,,,"Università di Catania, UNICT; Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, BUCEA","Funding: This work has been financed by the University of Catania within the project “Piano della Ricerca Dipartimentale 2016–2018” of the “Civil Engineering and Architecture Department”.","This work has been financed by the University of Catania within the project ""Piano della Ricerca Dipartimentale 2016-2018"" of the ""Civil Engineering and Architecture Department"".",,,,,,,,,"(2018) 2018 Global Status Report towards a Zero-Emission, Efficient and Resilient Buildings and Construction Sector, Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), , IEA: Paris, France; Houben, H., Guillaud, H., (2006) CRATerre: Traité de Construction en Terre, , éditions Parenthèses: Marseille, France; Minke, G., (2006) Building with Earth: Design and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture, , Birkhäuser: Berlin, Germany; Maniatidis, V., Walker, P., (2003) A Review of Rammed Earth Construction, , Natural Building Technology Group Department of Architecture Civil Engineering University of Bath: Bath, UK; Rauch, M., (2015) Refined Earth Construction Design with Rammed Earth, , Kapfinger, O., Sauer, M., Eds.; Detail: Munich, Germany; (2017) Diseño y Construccion con Tierra Reforzada 2017, , Ministerio de Vivienda, Construcción y Saneamiento: Lima, Peru; New Zealand Standard 4298:1998 (1998) Materials and Workmanship for Earth Buildings 1998, , Standards New Zealand: Wellington, New Zealand; Burroughs, S., Recommendations for the selection, stabilization and compaction of soil for rammed earth wall construction (2010) J.

Research over the past three decades has identified the hygroscopic nature of these materials, and our understanding of the factors governing their hydromechanical properties is now mature. However, little work has been done to unify methods to assess material durability: namely, how exposure to degrading agents, predominantly water, impacts a structure's service life. Although strength is usually of primary concern to engineers, it is undeniable that earthen structures usually fail due to durability, rather than strength, issues. As earthen architecture and demands made of the material become more ambitious, the need for robust guidelines on how to predict the longevity of these structures becomes paramount. This paper presents a framework for assessing the durability of earthen materials based on perceived routes of exposure to water. The framework is built upon the findings of a review of nearly 60 articles discussing original durability testing programmes, comprising 118 investigations and almost 700 soil and stabiliser combinations. From these works, 12 assessment methodologies were identified, encompassing a range of earthen construction techniques, e.g. mud brick, compressed earth blocks and rammed earth. Each method is described and its suitability for assessing the real world durability of a range of earthen construction techniques appraised. From this, the efficacy of each test was determined and a shortlist of suitable tests created. The derived framework provides assessors with a method to determine likely exposure routes for an earthen construction element (e.g. an internal or external wall) and, from the shortlisted methods, to specify the range of tests necessary to ensure suitable durability given the construction and environmental conditions.

The radioisotope thoron (220Rn) and its decay products came into focus of being a health risk only recently. The reason for this is its short half-life, so only building material can become a significant source for indoor thoron. In this study, dwellings with earthen architecture were investigated with different independent measurement techniques in order to determine appropriate methods for reliable dose assessment of the dwellers. While for radon dose assessment, radon gas measurement and the assumption of a common indoor equilibrium factor often are sufficient, thoron gas has proven to be an unreliable surrogate for a direct measurement of thoron decay products. Active/time-resolved but also passive/integrating measurements of the total concentration of thoron decay products demonstrated being precise and efficient methods for determining the exposure and inhalation dose from thoron and its decay products. Exhalation rate measurements are a useful method for a rough dose estimate only if the exhalation rate is homogeneous throughout the house. Before the construction of a building in-vitro exhalation rate measurements on the building material can yield information about the exposure that is to be expected. Determining the unattached fraction of radon decay products and even more of thoron decay products leads to only a slightly better precision; this confirms the relative unimportance of the unattached thoron decay products due to their low concentration. The results of this study thereby give advice on the proper measurement method in similar exposure situations. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.","Clay dwelling; Indoor exposure; Inhalation dose assessment; Measurement method; Radon; Thoron","Building materials; Buildings; Health risks; Housing; Inert gases; Comparison of measurements; Earthen architectures; Independent measurement; Indoor exposure; Inhalation dose; Measurement methods; Radioactive noble gas; Thoron; Radon; radon 220; radon 222; radon 222 daughter; radon; radon daughter; clay; concentration (composition); health risk; indoor air; measurement method; radon isotope; Article; building material; construction work; controlled study; dosimetry; health hazard; housing; priority journal; radiation dose; radiation exposure; air pollutant; analysis; architecture; environmental exposure; exposure; half life time; housing; indoor air pollution; procedures; radiation monitoring; statistics and numerical data; Air Pollutants, Radioactive; Air Pollution, Indoor; Architecture; Environmental Exposure; Half-Life; Housing; Inhalation Exposure; Radiation Monitoring; Radon; Radon Daughters",,"radon 220, 22481-48-7; radon 222, 14859-67-7; radon, 10043-92-2; Air Pollutants, Radioactive; Radon; Radon Daughters",,,"Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF: 01DQ12032, 02NUK15B; Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Umwelt und Verbraucherschutz, STMUV: 96f-U8816.06-2009/3-10","The study was supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), Germany (contract 01DQ12032 and 02NUK15B) and by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection (96f-U8816.06-2009/3-10).

This study explores the potential utility of TLS and the Multiscale Model to Model Cloud Comparison (M3C2) surface change detection method for monitoring and preserving ancient earthen architecture, and for creating comprehensive site monitoring programs in compliance with UNESCO periodic reporting guidelines. The proposed methodology was tested using 3-D TLS datasets spanning a period of six years to assess the decay of mud brick structures at Çatalhöyük, Turkey in order to understand material loss in walls and buildings, identify potential underlying causes, and create a plan for physical interventions. This paper explains how a multi-temporal laser scanning workflow using the M3C2 method can be leveraged successfully to quantify – with millimeter-level accuracy – the decay of large earthen sites and inform future conservation interventions. This approach allows for the identification of the wall features with the most immediate risk of deterioration based on the detection of patterns of change and calculation of its significance as a preventative measure. Results presented in this paper suggest that the proposed method can be used effectively to enhance site monitoring and perform preventative on-site interventions at large earthen sites earthen sites in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. © 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS","Earthen architecture conservation; Multiscale Model to Model Cloud Comparison (M3C2); Surface change detection; Terrestrial laser scanning; Çatalhöyük",,,,,,"CA-16-376911","This work was supported by an Archaeological Institute of America Site Preservation Grant and by a University of California President's Catalyst Research Award (Grant ID: CA-16-376911).

Around 30% of world population lives in earth buildings. About 50% of population in developing countries, including the majority of rural areas, and at least 20% of urban and marginal urban areas, lives in earth buildings. The main general objectives of this study are the behaviour characterisation of adobe and rammed earth constructions along with the research for the development of retrofitting and seismic performance enhancement solutions, considering the relevant earthen heritage built in Portugal. In fact, until the first half of the last century, earth was commonly adopted as a construction material in Portugal. Adobe was used in almost all types of construction in littoral centre, particularly in Aveiro region. The consolidation of the knowledge on this technique and on the mechanical behaviour of adobe masonry will play a fundamental role on the preservation of the earthen built heritage. In addition, it may contribute to the development of innovative earth construction solutions for new buildings, following current concerns but also respecting structural safety demands, which will allow accommodating the increasing interest on this type of building solutions. The mechanical properties of adobe units and mortars were studied and a series of tests for the characterization of the adobe masonry behaviour were carried out, in the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Aveiro, namely: (i) bond strength and (ii) joint shear tests. Additionally, a full-scale adobe building model was subjected to monotonic and cyclic horizontal lateral loads until failure. The present paper present the main results and conclusions of the experimental campaign developed. © 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.","Adobe masonry; Mechanical characterization; structural behaviour characterization","Building materials; Buildings; Developing countries; Masonry materials; Structural integrity; Adobe masonry; Behaviour characterization; Construction systems; Experimental campaign; Mechanical behaviour; Mechanical characterizations; Seismic Performance; Structural behaviour; Characterization",,,,,"Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, FCT","The work presented was developed within the Be+Earth project, with reference PTDC/ECM-EST/2396/2012, funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), Portugal.

The proposed method leverages a comprehensive (quantitative–qualitative) approach that gathers multi-temporal data including environmental information collected by means of environmental loggers, qualitative vulnerability assessment of mud-brick walls, and surface change detection information obtained by comparing terrestrial laser scanning point cloud capturing the decay of building's wall features over time. Producing a detailed spatial understanding of the conservation issues that affect mud-brick walls in large earthen sites, this method can be used by conservators to rapidly identify which buildings require immediate intervention and lay the basis for future evaluation of the conservation actions undertaken. To test the effectiveness of the proposed geospatial model in producing a comprehensive view of the environmental risk and pattern of decay that affect mudbrick structures, this paper presents analyses and results obtained in a six-year study at Çatalhöyük, Turkey. Our results corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed method and prove that it can be successfully employed to create preventive conservation measures at other earthen sites inside and outside the Near East. © 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS","Digital monitoring; Earthen architecture conservation; environmental risk; GIS; Point clouds comparison; Çatalhöyük",,,,,,"CA-16-376911","This work was supported by an Archaeological Institute of America Site Preservation Grant and by a University of California President's Catalyst Research Award (Grant ID: CA-16-376911).",,,,,,,,,,"Matero, F., Mud brick metaphysics and the preservation of earthen ruins (2015) Conserv.

To overcome this twofold challenge, there is a need to move towards a more circular economy by widely using a combination of alternative low-carbon construction materials, alternative technologies and practices. Soils or earth were widely used by builders before World War II, as a primary resource to manufacture materials and structures of vernacular architecture. Centuries of empirical practices have led to a variety of techniques to implement earth, known as rammed earth, cob and adobe masonry among others. Earth refers to local soil with a variable composition but at least containing a small percentage of clay that would simply solidify by drying without any baking. This paper discusses why and how earth naturally embeds high-tech properties for sustainable construction. Then the potential of earth to contribute to addressing the global challenge of modern architecture and the need to re-think building practices is also explored. The current obstacles against the development of earthen architecture are examined through a survey of current earth building practitioners in Western Europe. A literature review revealed that, surprisingly, only technical barriers are being addressed by the scientific community; two-thirds of the actual barriers identified by the interviewees are not within the technical field and are almost entirely neglected in the scientific literature, which may explain why earthen architecture is still a niche market despite embodying all the attributes of the best construction material to tackle the current climate and economic crisis.

This widespread pathology is closely related to the drying shrinkage behavior of soil and the fundamental mechanisms should be investigated to better interpret the deterioration of these precious heritages. In this paper, tests were conducted on specimens that were initially slurries with NaCl contents of 0%, 2%, and 5%. The soil shrinkage characteristic curve (SSCC) was measured using the fluid displacement method during a slow air-drying process. The drying branch of the soil-water retention curve was also established by combining three common techniques (pressure plate, vapor equilibrium, and filter paper). The microstructure of specimens with varying water and NaCl contents was characterized through mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) testing. Results show that NaCl had negligible impact on the SSCC, which was composed of three shrinkage zones. With increasing NaCl content, matric suction was hardly influenced while the total suction increased significantly due to the pore fluid osmotic suction. The analysis indicated that drying shrinkage was actually a process of consolidation governed predominantly by matric suction. MIP test results were consistent with the macroscale observations for specimens that were initially slurries: that the total volume of pores decreased upon drying. In addition, pore-size distribution was unimodal and no significant difference was observed among specimens with different NaCl contents. © 2017, Canadian Science Publishing.

This paper acknowledges mound building as the purposeful selection of soils and sediments for specific color, texture, or engineering properties and the organization of deposits suggesting that the building process reflects both shared knowledge and communicates specific information. We present two examples: Late Archaic period Poverty Point site Mound A, and Mississippian period Shiloh site Mound A, in the exploration of structured deposits to identify ritual in contrast to a more mundane or purely practical origin. We argue the building of these earthen monuments was not only architecturally important as a means to serve a subsequent purpose but that the act of construction itself was a ritual process intended to serve its own religious and social purposes. In these contexts, ritual does much more than communicate underlying social relationships; it is instrumental to their production. © 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.","Earthen mounds; Geoarchaeology; Ritual; Southeastern US",,,,,,"New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation; Newton Public Schools, City of Newton; Washington University in St. Louis; National Park Service; University of Washington; Southeastern Transportation Research, Innovation, Development and Education Center; Dan David Prize","Acknowledgments We thank Christopher Roos and Christian Wells for organizing the SAA symposium where many of these ideas were originally presented.

It analyzes these techniques viability from a structural engineering standpoint and evaluates their suitability in the context of historic preservation. Analysis was based on an exhaustive review of studies addressing retrofitting techniques of earthen structures, as well as consultation with field experts. The guiding principles of conservation relating to the structural reinforcement of monuments were taken into account. Traditional techniques that enhance the stability of the building, such as wooden ring beams, wooden ties interconnecting parallel walls, corner keys, and the addition of buttresses were found to be effective solutions since they employ compatible and low-cost materials such as earth and wood. When these techniques prove insufficient, minimally invasive measures such as introducing a plywood diaphragm, horizontal steel rods, a geomesh covered with mud rendering or a strapping system can be appropriate.

In tropical environments, soil processes speed up the degradation of archaeological and environmental records, and relatively ephemeral structures built of mud or clay degrade quickly after abandonment, leaving almost no traces of human activities behind. This paper presents the results of bulk soil and chemical analyses, artefact distribution, and phytolith analysis from the excavation of a daub house at the early medieval site of Unguja Ukuu (c. 7th–14th c. AD), Zanzibar. High-resolution, systematic sampling for microscopic and elemental analyses proved effective in detecting spatial variability in relatively small areas. However, soil chemical enrichment (e.g. Ca, Mg, Mn, P) usually linked to anthropogenic impact on archaeological deposits appears hardly visible in the Unguja Ukuu house deposits. Instead, measurements of a wider range of elements, including trace and rare earth elements (REEs) proved to be important for detecting elemental signatures related to human activities. Contextual sampling of artefacts and phytoliths were crucial to identify sources of chemical enrichment and, thus, build a picture of spatial organisation within the house. The combined multi-scalar sampling strategy with a multi-proxy analytical approach enabled us to define the layout of the daub structure, indoor/outdoor spaces and activity hot-spots. Although macroscopic traces of past activities were almost completely obliterated, archaeological remains of earthen architecture and the use of space can be detected even in such complex tropical settings. © 2019","Daub; Geoarchaeology; ICP-MS; Indoor vs outdoor space; Phytoliths","archaeology; artifact; inductively coupled plasma method; phytolith; soil chemistry; Tanzania; Zanzibar Island",,,,,"Aarhus Universitet, AU; British Academy; Danmarks Grundforskningsfond, DNRF: DNRF119","The research presented here was supported by the Danish National Research Foundation under the grant DNRF119 - Centre of Excellence for Urban Network Evolutions (UrbNet) , Aarhus University .

The ability to map archaeological sites at a landscape scale provides researchers the possibility to reconstruct and assess the ways humans organized, constructed, and interacted with their surroundings. However, LiDAR can be impacted by a variety of modern development and land use practices. In this article, we confront these issues by presenting the first examination of high-resolution LiDAR-derived imagery from Central Kentucky, part of the larger heartland for late-Early and Middle Woodland-era (ca. 300 bc–ad 500) Adena-Hopewell societies. Our investigations demonstrate that multiple issues can arise when analyzing LiDAR imagery for monumental earthen architecture in this region. We outline an integrated strategy to rediscover and confirm the presence of earthen architecture made by Adena-Hopewell societies that incorporates aerial photographs, multi-instrument geophysical surveys, and geoarchaeological methods into the examination of LiDAR imagery. This methodology will be applicable in other global contexts where archaeologists are seeking to rediscover ancient forms of earthen architecture within heavily disturbed or developed landscapes. © 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.","Adena-Hopewell; Earthen monuments; Eastern North America; Geoarchaeology; Geophysics; LiDAR",,,,,,"National Science Foundation, NSF: 1545577; National Geographic Society, NGS: 3261-4; Waitt Foundation, WF; Natural Resources Conservation Service, NRCS; Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis","We would like to thank staff at the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Lexington, KY, in particular William (Bill) Sharp, Scott Aldridge, Karen Woodrich, and state soil scientist Steve Blanford.

The mechanical characterization was carried out through uniaxial compression, three-point bending and splitting tests. The results indicate differences in bricks and mortar samples in strength capacity and elastic stiffness in compression, as well as differences in rupture modulus and diametric compression strength. The study contributes to understand the linear and nonlinear behavior of archaeological earthen materials and structures and provides reference values for the structural assessment of similar buildings and monuments. © 2016 The Authors","Archaeological heritage; Bricks and mortar; Earthen buildings; Mechanical characterization","Bending tests; Brick; Mortar; Archaeological heritage; Diametric compression; Earthen buildings; Mechanical characterizations; Structural assessments; Structural component; Three point bending; Uni-axial compression; Characterization",,,,,"89-2014; 012-2013-FONDECYT; Consejo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Tecnológica, CONCYTEC; Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, PUCP","This research was carried out by the Engineering & Heritage Research Group at PUCP.

This study used a well-established test wall to investigate the impact of environmental conditions on the deterioration of earthen heritage at the remote and under-studied site of Suoyang Ancient City, Gansu Province, China, which is exhibiting widespread deterioration. Test walls have previously been used in earthen heritage research as they allow controlled experiments to be undertaken on complex, realistic structures without risking damage or loss of value to the historic material. This study used portable wind and rain erosion simulation devices to investigate experimentally (i) the comparative effect of wind, sediment-laden wind and wind-driven rain in causing deterioration to earthen heritage and (ii) how the incipient deterioration features produced by wind, sediment-laden wind and wind-driven rain on the test wall relate to the deterioration features recorded on the historic city walls. The test wall was subjected to low, medium and high intensities of clean wind, sediment-laden wind and wind-driven rain. The extent of deterioration produced was measured using repeat, high resolution laser scans before and after each test run. The deterioration features caused by each environmental force were notably different with clean wind removing the loose surface material, sediment-laden wind causing pitting and wind-driven rain causing incipient gullying. These incipient features compare well with more developed features seen on the historic walls. Wind-driven rain caused the greatest amount of deterioration while clean wind caused the least. However, as the frequency and duration of wind events at Suoyang is much greater than those of rain events, wind is likely to play an important role in the deterioration of earthen heritage over annual timescales. These findings show that conservation strategies at rammed earth sites like Suoyang need to address the impact of multiple environmental forces, such as clean wind, sediment laden wind and wind-driven rain. © 2019, The Author(s).","Deterioration; Earthen heritage; Field experiment; Northwest China",,,,,,"Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, EPSRC: EP/L016036/1","This research was funded by UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grant for the Centre for Doctoral Training Science and Engineering in Art, Heritage and Archaeology (EP/L016036/1) in association with the Getty Conservation Institute.",,,,,,,,,,"(2012) World Heritage: Inventory of Earthen Architecture, , http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0021/002170/217020e.pdf, Accessed 20 Jan 2019; Pu, T., Chen, W., Du, Y., Li, W., Su, N., Snowfall-related deterioration behavior of the Ming Great Wall in the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (2016) Nat Hazards, 84, pp. 1539-1550; Shao, M., Li, L., Wang, S., Wang, E., Li, Z., Deterioration mechanisms of building materials of Jiaohe ruins in China (2013) J Cult Herit., 14, pp. 38-44; Oliver, A., (2000) Fort Selden adobe test wall project: phase I: final report, , Getty Conservation Institute, Los Angeles; Velde, B., Formation of earthen materials (2008) Terra literature review an overview of research in earthen architecture conservation, pp. 15-20. , Avrami E, Hubert G, Hardy M, (eds), The Getty Conservation Institute, Los Angeles; Rainer, L., Deterioration and pathology of earthen architecture (2008) Terra literature review an overview of research in earthen architecture conservation, pp. 45-61. , Avrami E, Guillaud H, Hardy M, (eds), The Getty Conservation Institute, Los Angeles; Guerrero, L., Deteroriation of heritage built in adobe (2002) Diseño y Soc., 13, pp. 4-11; Selwitz, C., Coffman, R., Agnew, N., The getty adobe research project at Fort Selden III: An evaluation of the application of chemical consolidants to test walls (1990) Proceedings of 6th international conference conservation earthen architecture, pp. 255-260. , Agnew N, (ed), The Getty Institute, Los Angeles; Brown, P.W., Robbins, C.R., Clifton, J.R., ADOBE II: factors affecting the durability of adobe structures (1979) Stud Conserv, 24, pp. 23-39. , COI: 1:CAS:528:DyaE1MXksFGnurk%3D; Taylor, M.R., An evaluation of the New Mexico State monuments adobe test walls at Fort Selden (1990) Proceedings of 6th international conference conservation earthen architecture, pp. 383-389. , Agnew N, (ed), The Getty Institute, Los Angeles; Illampas, R., Ioannou, I., Charmpis, D.C., Overview of the pathology, repair and strengthening of adobe structures (2013) Int J Archit Herit., 7, pp. 165-188; Du, Y., Chen, W., Cui, K., Gong, S., Pu, T., Fu, X., A model characterizing deterioration at earthen sites of the Ming Great Wall in Qinghai Province (2017) China.

Many earthen heritage sites are located in these dryland regions and experience extensive deterioration driven by interactions with environmental processes, however previous research has focused largely on the role of rain as a driver of deterioration. This study combines approaches from geomorphology with understandings of earthen materials from heritage science to investigate the relative importance of wind and rain in driving earthen heritage deterioration in drylands. We use geomorphological signatures to infer the environmental histories of earthen walls with a range of known ages at Suoyang Ancient City, China, using semi-quantitative deterioration assessments. We find rain-driven deterioration features to be associated with the loss of larger volumes of material and to have higher persistence than wind-driven deterioration features. However, we argue that the high frequency nature of wind events means that wind is an important initiator of deterioration across the site. In addition, walls exposed to the prevailing wind are dominated by wind-driven deterioration features. Outcomes from this study present an opportunity for earthen heritage conservation to investigate potential strategies to minimise wind speed at earthen heritage sites in drylands. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.","Deterioration; Earthen heritage; Frequency; Magnitude","chemical weathering; environmental conditions; extreme event; geomorphology; heritage conservation; wind erosion; wind velocity; China",,,,,"EP/L016036/1; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, EPSRC; Royal Society: IE151144","This research was funded by UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grant for the Centre for Doctoral Training Science and Engineering in Art, Heritage and Archaeology ( EP/L016036/1 ) in association with the Getty Conservation Institute.

This work is a contribution to the valorization of earth building materials used in the oases to preserve this architecture against disappearance. It is a physico-chemical, mineralogical and geotechnical investigation of five soils taken from different areas on the edge of the main valleys, Wadi Ziz and Wadi Rheris, of this large oasis. First, X-ray (XRD) and infrared analyses of the soils studied show the absence of the two clay minerals, kaolinite and illite, in the oasis soils while, quartz, calcite or calcium carbonate, Ferroan Clinochlore and Muscovite are the main minerals in these soils. Second, grain size distribution, methylene blue tests and plasticity tests show that the soils of the oasis are generally low clay content and moderately plastic. They consist mainly of sand and silt. In addition, the suitability of the studied soils for the three construction techniques: adobe, rammed earth and compressed earth blocks (CEB), was tested using the recommendations cited by several authors. Furthermore, in the case of unsuitable soils, solutions are proposed to one of these techniques. The local compaction technique of rammed earth was assessed. This technique enabled us to achieve maximum dry density compaction values similar to those obtained in the laboratory using modified Proctor tests. Finally, an evaluation of the thermal conductivity of the different samples of the rammed earth walls was carried out in order to determine and compare the effect of compaction density and soil characteristics on thermal resistance. The results of this study showed that the soils taken from areas on the edge of the valley are more consistent with the construction of rammed earth. They are satisfactory in terms of compaction and also have a higher thermal resistance. Then, the construction in adobe is only possible if these soils go through a stabilization process. In addition, the grain size distribution indicated that soils taken from the soil edge are unsuitable for the manufacture of CEB. © 2021 The Author(s)","Earth building; Geotechnical properties; Infrared; Physicochemical characterization; X-rays diffraction","Building materials; Calcite; Calcium carbonate; Chlorite minerals; Compaction; Grain size and shape; Historic preservation; Kaolinite; Mica; Plasticity testing; Size distribution; Soils; Thermal conductivity; Walls (structural partitions); Compressed earth blocks; Construction technique; Earthen architectures; Geotechnical investigations; Grain size distribution; Modified Proctor test; Mud-brick constructions; Stabilization process; Stabilization",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Khadka, B., Rammed Earth, As a Sustainable and Structurally Safe Green Building: a Housing Solution in the Era of Global Warming and Climate Change (2019), Springer Nature Switzerland AG; Rael, R., Earth Architecture (2009), 1st ed.

We suggest that the importance of these architectural features to Mississippian life ways can be attributed to two characteristics that are widely shared with other cultures that also employed plazas as a form of axis mundi. First, their construction represents an event that arrests temporality and draws attention to their pivotal role in synchronizing ritual life. Second, their relatively open architecture confers them a relational flexibility that allows for the linkage of a wide variety of spaces, things, and beings. A quantitative and qualitative study of 35 Mississippian plazas demonstrates discrepancies from a linear relationship between plaza size and site size that may be related to variation in the kinds of performances that were conducted in these public places at different types of settlements. Despite this variation, the ubiquity of plazas suggests that they were pivotal to the founding of Mississippian places, and may have been important for reestablishing a sense of cosmological order for migrating communities. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.","Mississippian; Plazas; Relationality; Ritual; Temporality",,,,,,"National Science Foundation, NSF: SBR-9807157; U.S. Department of Agriculture, USDA","Portions of this study were funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF SBR-9807157) and USDA Shawnee National Forest Challenge Grants.","Thanks to T.

Traditional earthen architecture is found throughout the Iberian Peninsula in numerous constructive techniques and variants, most notably rammed-earth, adobe and half-timber. The varied morphology, climate, geology and culture of the Iberian Peninsula, together with its immediate surroundings, have a direct effect on the development and the properties of traditional architecture. Thus, the objective of this research is to establish the relationship between the geographical characteristics and the distribution of the earthen techniques. For that purpose, the authors of this text have carried out a thorough data collection throughout the whole of the Iberian Peninsula in order to identify the main characteristics of this architecture in each location and to produce maps featuring the locations for each technique. This mapping of numerous techniques has been compared with other thematic maps of the territory, establishing relationships between the different techniques and specific properties of a given area. These provide hypotheses on which factors encourage or hinder the use of earthen construction techniques. Moreover, the relationship of traditional architecture with geographical factors and its specific morphology on a given place has provided many design lessons for a sustainable architecture. Those lessons must be taken into account on rehabilitation works and new architecture. © 2019 by the authors.","Climate factors; Earthen technique location; Earthen traditional architecture; Geoclimatic features; Geographical factors; Geological factors; Iberian Peninsula traditional architecture; Sustainable architecture","architecture; canopy architecture; detection method; environmental conditions; environmental factor; geology; mapping method; sustainability; territory; Iberian Peninsula",,,,,"BIA2014-55924-R","Funding: This work is part of the research project “Restoration and rehabilitation of traditional earthen architecture in the Iberian Peninsula.

Interventions on historic earthen architecture throughout the world have shown very distinct levels of success, but there is no single procedure or combination of conservation procedures that guarantee success. One of the problems is the lack of knowledge about the behaviour of soil as the material component, and its relationships both with other materials, and associated natural and cultural environments. This article analyses some technical considerations that have influenced the preservation of earthen archaeological remains, through critical analysis of the existing bibliographic references from the proceedings of specialized international conferences that have taken place in the last twenty years. © 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.","Conservation; Earthen architecture; Preservation; Preventive measures; Stabilisation; Structural reinforcement; Surface coating",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Alva, A., Chiari, G., Protection and conservation of excavated structures of mudbrick (1995) Conservation on Archaeological Excavations, with Particular Reference to the Mediterranean Area.

Whilst there is a long history of research into the evolution of erosional landforms such as yardangs, little research has investigated how dryland processes influence the erosion of built structures. Earthen heritage sites located in arid and semi-arid environments experience rapid deterioration caused by exposure to environmental drivers such as wind and rain. Understanding how these environmental drivers interact with each other and cause deterioration to earthen material is vital for successful conservation strategies. To address this need, we present the Vegetation and Sediment TrAnsport model for Heritage Deterioration (ViSTA-HD) that simulates the risk of polishing, pitting and slurry on earthen heritage in a spatially specific manner. A technical description of the model is provided, and sensitivity and validation tests are reported. The model is then used to simulate the risk of deterioration occurring over centennial timescales at a Suoyang Ancient City, located in semi-arid northwest China. The modelled risk of deterioration is in good agreement with deterioration patterns found at Suoyang, with the risk of polishing predominantly occurring around the wall edges, areas at risk of pitting echoing the dune formation and the risk of slurry occurring in drape-like patterns down the wall face. Consequently, ViSTA-HD is a powerful and versatile model that can be used to help inform our understandings of long-term interactions between dryland processes and deteriorative impact on earthen structures. © 2020 The Authors.

In this study, sticky rice paste was added to in situ site soils and the water resistance and disintegration of the modified soils were investigated. Further, the influences of freeze–thaw, dry–wet, and Na2SO4-corrosion cycles on the compressive strength of the modified soil and its morphology were assessed. The results obtained indicate that the modified soil exhibited the highest water resistance and strength after 30 freeze–thaw and dry–wet cycles and 20 Na2SO4-corrosion cycles.

Water repellency treatment is a promising improvement to the durability of earthen monuments. To understand the hydrophobic mechanism of the soil treated by Tung oil, geotechnical tests, including permeability test and water repellency test, in the laboratory were conducted on clay soil sampled from a site where Da Bao’en Temple was in Nanjing, China. Test results indicate that Tung oil film coated on the soil particles could well decrease the surface tension and free energy, providing waterproofing property without obvious change in esthetic appearance. Laboratory tests indicate that Tung oil treatment decreases the hydraulic conductivity and increases the water repellency of the soil. Water repellent treatment with Tung oil provides a new approach for earthen monument conservation under humid weather condition. © 2015, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.","Da Bao’en Temple heritage; Earthen monument; Hydraulic conductivity; Tung oil; Water repellency","Clay; Drying oils; Free energy; Groundwater; Hydraulic conductivity; Oil well testing; Soil testing; Soils; Waterproofing; Archeological sites; Earthen monument; Geotechnical tests; Hydrophobic mechanisms; Moisture evaporation; Tung oil; Water repellency; Water repellent treatment; Water treatment; artifact; clay soil; coating; heritage conservation; hydraulic conductivity; hydrophobicity; monument; oil; permeability; China; Jiangsu; Nanjing [Jiangsu]",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Adams, S., Strain, B.R., Adams, M.S., Water-repellent soils and annual plant cover in a desert scrub community of southeastern California (1969) Proc Symp Water Rep Soils, 354, pp. 289-296; Bisdom, E.B.A., Dekker, L.W., Schoute, J.F., Water repellency of sieve fractions from sandy soils and relationships with organic material and soil structure (1993) Geoderma, 56, pp. 105-118; Blackmon, G.H., The tung-oil industry (1943) Bot Rev, 9 (1), pp. 1-40; Blom, A.V., (1949) Elsevier’s polymer series, ‘organic coating in theory and practice, V.

The relationship between substrates and such surface-associated microbial communities was also investigated. Fungal biodiversity was significantly higher in rammed earth with respect to the other two techniques. Granulometric analysis showed that rammed earth also contained a higher percentage of coarse soil fraction which is likely to favour the accumulation of water and organic matter. Cellulolytic activity tested positive for the majority of fungi and acidification test showed that fungi exhibit elevated acidifying capacity suggesting that biodeterioration may occur through acid metabolites. © 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS.","Biodeterioration; Brazil; Coffee cycle; Earthen architecture; Fungi",,,,,,"Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo, FAPESP","The authors wish to thank Ms. Joseane Fontaine and Mr. Lauro Maia from Fazenda Catadupa for assistance and very useful discussions.

Different ramming technologies for the interfaces between layers were found to have a significant effect on the level of destruction. Accordingly, four interface treatment methods were simulated to reveal the mechanism and damage mode for the interfaces between different layers: no interface, fine interface, coarse interface and rammed pit interface. Moreover, elastic wave velocity, tensile strength, compressive strength and shear strength tests were performed to explore the effects of different interface treatment technologies on different layers. The results showed that the tensile and shear strengths of the rammed earthen layer interfaces were much lower than the compressive strength. The tensile strength was only 1/30 of the compressive strength, which was the decisive factor in the ultimate destruction of such sites. An effective measure to improve the shear strength of rammed earthen sites is to increase the depth and uniform area of friction of the layer interface, and the roughness of the contact surface between layers. The interface treatment with the rammed pit layer provided superior results to the coarse and fine layers. The abovementioned results provide a theoretical basis for the scientific cognition of traditional ramming and consolidation technologies of earthen sites. © 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS","Coarse layer; Fine layer; Rammed earthen heritage site; Rammed earthen layer interface; Rammed pit",,,,,,"145RJIF336; National Outstanding Youth Foundation of China: 20140225","This research was supported by the Outstanding Youth Science Foundation grant number 20140225 and Gansu innovation team planning project grant number 145RJIF336.",,,,,,,,,,"Li, Z.X., Protection of the ancient ruins of the silk road (2003) Science Press; Zhao, C., Tuotu, A.J., A survey of raw soil construction (2010) Sichuan Architecture, 1, pp. 31-33; Sun, M.L., Current status and progress of research on soil heritage protection (2007) Cult.

However, it is quite fragile compared with other building materials, requiring permanent maintenance and frequently consolidation. Conventional consolidation treatments often had drawbacks due to limited penetration and long-term effectiveness. In order to improve the earthen structure´s water resistance and mechanical properties, an alternative consolidation treatment based on highly alkaline KOH solution has been evaluated on outdoor-exposed adobe walls and was compared to a standard ethyl silicate treatment. The KOH treatment showed superior penetration and long-term effectiveness, causing partial dissolution of soil minerals and the formation of an amorphous phase with cementing properties. These mineralogical changes reduced the soils swelling capacity and improved its weathering resistance and mechanical properties. The consolidation treatment did not induce the formation of harmful salts but caused important color changes. Results indicate that lower concentrated KOH solution could be used, which would reduce consolidation-induced color changes, potential salt crystallization, treatment costs, and environmental risks. Overall, alkaline consolidation appears to be a valid alternative to conventional treatments. © 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS","Adobe; Clay; Ethyl silicate; Mechanical strength; Rammed-earth; Weathering resistance",,,,,,"UCE-PP2016-05; Universidad de Granada, UGR","Financial support has been provided by the Junta de Andalucía (Research Group RNM-179).

A three-step methodology was applied to conduct the research: (a) field data collection, (b) building thermal model development and calibration, and (c) comparison analysis and assessment of traditional improvement strategies. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from two representative rural dwellings under typical usage conditions. The first is a traditional construction, medium-exposed thermal mass dwelling (Case A). The second is a local common, uninsulated, lightweight construction (Case B). The thermal model was calibrated by comparing hourly temperature values of the observed and the predicted indoor air temperature. A high correlation level (R2) was achieved between the observed and predicted data; 0.89 in Case A and 0.94 in Case B. The results show that the roof, floor, and the airtightness are the critical building parameters affecting the indoor thermal environment. Likewise, the indoor air temperature is increased up to 4 °C through the implementation of traditional strategies. However, despite the rise in indoor air temperature, acceptable thermal comfort ranges were only reached for 25% of the total hours. © 2016 by the authors.","Earthen architecture; Indoor environment; Low-cost housing; Rural housing; Thermal performance",,,,,,"Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, EPSRC: EP/K011839/1; Secretaría de Educación Superior, Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación, SENESCYT","Acknowledgments: The authors would like to acknowledge the financial support provided by the National Secretary of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation (SENESCTY).

Currently one-third of the global population lives in this vernacular architecture made with the man-made stone-like construction material. This building material, commonly made from a mix of clay and organic materials, is resisting the long span of time and weathering. Used correctly, the clay making technology has many benefits: the technique used is very simple with zero maintenance cost, local availability and affordability, and has a good thermal and acoustic insulation. Because of this, earthen architecture has many advantages from a sustain ability perspective. The use of this eco-friendly construction material nowadays could be a viable alternative to solve our 21st Century big concerns of energy and climate change. For this reason, it is important to understand this material characterization, diagnosis and suitability in construction, and to understand how can it be a good construction material for a particular site.

Nowadays, still a relevant part of the world population lives in earthen houses, which are found to be quite vulnerable to horizontal loading causing considerable loss of life over time. Hence, the importance of studying the seismic performance of these buildings to predict their capacity and failure mechanisms. After the destruction caused by the 2007 Pisco earthquake, the Getty Conservation Institute initiated a project to better understand the seismic performance of four historic earthen building typologies present in Peru. This paper addresses the seismic assessment of Casa Arones, which is considered as a prototype of the typology of large vernacular houses present in many historical centres of the Andean Region of Peru. Advanced numerical analysis is used to assess the global behaviour of the building, and to identify the damage distribution and failure mechanisms. The challenges faced in the study, related to the complexity of the structure and the insufficient information on its morphology and materials properties, are discussed. Moreover, sensitivity analysis is used to understand the influence of floors and roof on the global behaviour, which is a novel contribution. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd","Casona; Earthen architecture; Historic adobe building; Pushover; Seismic assessment; Sensitivity analysis; Vernacular","Buildings; Earthquakes; Failure (mechanical); Historic preservation; Materials properties; Roofs; Seismic waves; Andean Region; Casona; Earthen architectures; Failure mechanism; Global behaviors; Historic adobe building; Pushover; Seismic assessment; Seismic Performance; Vernacular; Sensitivity analysis",,,,,,"The current work was funded by the Getty Conservation Institute as part of the Seismic Retrofitting Project .",,,,,,,,,,"Barontini, A., Lourenço, P.B., Seismic safety assessment of mixed timber-masonry historical building: an example in Lima, Peru (2018) J.

The heritage town of Alzira (Valencia, Spain) is a major case study for the assessment of flood risk in architectural heritage. Alzira was founded by the Al-Andalus Moors on a river island within a bend of the river Júcar, which has overflowed more than 80 times during its history. The main aim of this work is to analyse the vulnerability to floods of the town’s architectural heritage, especially that of earthen architecture, a constructive tradition of which several examples can be found in the town. The proposed methodology attempts to calculate the vulnerability of the earthen architecture through the evaluation and weighting of extrinsic and intrinsic parameters. This makes it possible to identify the constructive characteristics and material weathering which worsen the behaviour of structures during floods. Maximum vulnerability values have been obtained for poorly conserved constructions without cladding. Results highlight the importance of ascertaining suitable strategies for the prevention and mitigation of risk as future lines of research. The vulnerability assessment methodology presented in this study could be applied to other case studies in other sites with architectural heritage under threat from floods. © 2021 by the authors.

Choosing effective strategies is especially important for earthen heritage sites located in dryland regions, as many are experiencing rapid environmentally-driven deterioration. We use a newly developed cellular automaton model (ViSTA-HD), to evaluate the environmental deterioration risk, over a 100-year period, under a range of potential climate and conservation scenarios. Results show increased wind velocities could substantially increase the overall deterioration risk, implying the need for wind-reducing conservation strategies. In contrast, predicted increases in rainfall are not likely to increase the overall deterioration risk, despite greater risk of rain-driven deterioration features. Of the four conservation strategies tested in our model, deterioration risk under all climatic scenarios was best reduced by increasing the coverage of natural, randomly-distributed vegetation to 80%. We suggest this approach could be an appropriate long-term conservation strategy for other earthen sites in dryland regions. © 2020, The Author(s).",,,,,,,"18ZD2FA001; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, EPSRC: EP/L016036/1; Gansu Science and Technology Department: 18YF1WA003","This research was funded by UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grant for the Centre for Doctoral Training Science, Engineering in Art, Heritage and Archaeology (EP/L016036/1) in association with the Getty Conservation Institute.

Disadvantages connected to low mechanical properties of earthen structures are often overcome, in historical buildings, through the employment of timber elements, which can increase a box-type behaviour enabling both in-plane and out-of-plane mechanisms, facilitating spread damage and avoiding disastrous collapses. In this study, overturning mechanisms that can activate during earthquakes are investigated employing the tools of limit analysis. Through the kinematic approach of limit analysis, geometrical and mechanical parameters most influencing the response to horizontal actions are analysed assuming different material models for masonry, i.e. finite compressive or tensile strengths, and presence of frictional strength. Within this framework, the presence of timber reinforcing elements is modelled providing a reasonable analysis method and sound results. Aiming at validation, the church of San Judas Tadeo de Malloa (Chile), built with traditional, earth-based, timber-reinforced masonries, is analysed interpreting the damage pattern suffered after the 2010 Maule earthquake (Mw 8.8). The study adapts the robust procedures of limit analysis to the peculiarities of earth-based structures, highlights the crucial role of timber elements in the response to horizontal actions, especially in areas with high seismic hazard, and proves that the beneficial effect of timber reinforcing systems can be adequately interpreted through the proposed procedure. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd","Abobe; Earth; Earthquake; Friction; Limit analysis; Tensile strength; Timber","Earthquakes; Masonry materials; Reinforcement; Tensile strength; Earth-based structures; Earthen architectures; Frictional strength; Historical buildings; Kinematic approaches; Mechanical parameters; Reinforcing elements; Seismic vulnerability; Timber; Chile earthquake 2010; historic building; limit analysis; masonry; reinforced earth; seismic hazard; seismic response; strength; timber",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Houben, H., Guillaud, H., Earth construction: a comprehensive guide (1994), ITDG Publishing London; Minke, G., Building with earth.

Establishing international collaborations could provide an efficient, sustainable mechanism to increase knowledge exchange, aiding the development of earthen heritage conservation strategies around the world. However, perceived differences in how Eastern and Western countries value earthen heritage and develop conservation strategies can pose challenges for establishing collaborations. To understand these perceived differences and whether they hinder collaborations, this paper compares British and Chinese heritage conservation policy and practice and then reports the results from an innovative workshop examining the approaches of 13 Chinese and 13 UK based heritage experts and researchers towards earthen heritage conservation. Workshop participants undertook bilingual discussions and completed a co-created questionnaire available in English and Mandarin. Both groups identified historic value as the most important value and maintenance of authenticity and integrity, need for scientific research and site scale conservation as vital considerations for conservation strategies. This study found that to understand the potential for collaboration, individual perspectives need consideration as well as policies and practices. This innovative bilingual, discussion-based approach has potential to aid collaborations for diverse international issues from wildlife conservation to cross-boundary pollution and climate change. © 2018 by the authors.","Bilingual; Collaboration; Conservation; Cross-cultural; Discussion; Earthen heritage; Policy; Practice","conservation management; expert system; heritage conservation; international cooperation; knowledge; participatory approach; policy development; site investigation; China; United Kingdom",,,,,"Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, EPSRC","This research was funded by UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grant for the Centre for Doctoral Training Science and Engineering in Art, Heritage and Archaeology (EP/L016036/1) in association with the Getty Conservation Institute.

Deep stratigraphic excavations were directed by MacDonald and Togola in 1993, 1995 and by MacDonald in 1996. Complementary, large exposure excavations of the abandonment layer were undertaken by Gestrich in 2010. The combined excavation results speak to topics of craft specialisation, trade, and social organisation. They provide evidence of a specialised blacksmithing community situated at the margins of early Middle Niger and Niger Bend statehood and urbanisation.

Earth construction exists throughout most of the world in different cultures, and for some countries it continues to be the main process of construction. Around 30% of the world's population lives in buildings made from earth materials. Earthen construction is an environmentally friendly technique with a social and cultural contribution; this advantage is increased when this type of construction is applied in developing countries where the material costs counterbalance the labour costs, and where other materials and techniques are not available. Studies of material characteristics are required in order to understand the composition and specific properties of earth buildings, their heterogeneity and their degradation mechanisms. Results from two different types of adobes that represent these material characteristics in Aveiro district are shown, owing to the importance of determining and acknowledging the main characteristics of adobe buildings in order to have sufficient information to initiate conservation and rehabilitation actions. © 2016 The Author(s).",,"building; construction material; construction method; heritage conservation; sustainability; Aveiro [Portugal]; Portugal",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Beckett, C.T.S., Augarde, C.E., The effect of relative humidity and temperature on the unconfined compressive strength of rammed earth (2012) Unsaturated Soils: Research and Applications, 1, pp. 287-292; Bui, Q.B., Morel, J.C., Reddy, V.B.V., Ghayad, W., Durability of rammed earth walls exposed for 20 years to natural weathering (2009) Building and Environment, 44, pp. 912-919; Bui, Q.-B., Morel, J.C., Hans, S., Meunier, N., Compression behaviour of non-industrial materials in civil engineering by three scale experiments: the case of rammed earth (2009) Materials and Structures, 42, pp. 1101-1116. , http://doi.org/10.1617/s11527-008-9446-y; Burroughs, S., Soil property criteria for rammed earth stabilization (2008) Journal of Materials and Civil Engineering, 20, pp. 264-273; Calabria, A.J., Vasconcelos, W.L., Boccaccini, A.R., Miscrostructure and chemical degradation of adobe and clay bricks (2009) Ceramics International, 35, pp. 665-671; Ciancio, D., Jaquin, P., Walker, P., Advances on the assessment of soil suitability for rammed earth (2013) Construction and Building Materials, 42, pp. 40-47; Costa, C.S., Rocha, F., Varum, H., Velosa, A., Influence of the mineralogical composition on the properties of adobe blocks from Aveiro, Portugal (2013) Clay Minerals, 48, pp. 749-758; http://craterre.org/?new_lang=en_GB; Dhandhukia, P., Goswami, D., Thakor, P., Thakker, J.N., Soil property apotheosis to corral the finest compression strength of unbaked adobe bricks (2013) Construction and Building Materials, 48, pp. 948-953; Galhano, C., Rocha, F., Gomes, C., Geostatistical analysis of the influence of textural, mineralogical and geochemical parameters on the geotechnical behaviour of the 'Argilas de Aveiro' formation (Portugal) (1999) Clay Minerals, 34, pp. 109-116; Heathcote, K.A., Durability of earthwall buildings (1995) Construction and Building Materials, 9, pp. 185-189; Houben, H., Guillaud, H., (1994) Earthen Architecture: A Comprehensive Guide, , Intermediate Technology Development Group, London; Jaquin, P.A., Influence of Arabic and Chinese rammed earth techniques in the Himalayan region (2012) Sustainability, 4, pp. 2650-2660. , http://doi.org/10.3390/su4102650; Jaquin, P.A., Augarde, C.E., Gallipoli, D., Toll, D.G., The strength of unstabilised rammed earth materials (2009) Géotechnique, 59, pp. 487-490. , http://doi.org/10.1680/geot.2007.00129; Lima, R.M.F., Luz, J.A.M., Análise Granulométrica por técnicas que se baseiam na sedimentação gravitacional: Lei de Stokes (2001) Escala de Minas, p. 54; Lourenço, P.B., Assessment, diagnosis and strengthening of Outeiro Church, Portugal (2005) Construction and Building Materials, 19, pp. 634-645. , http://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2005.01.010; Martins, H.T., (2009) Caracterização Mecânica e Patológica das Alvenarias de Adobe de Aveiro, , Universidade de Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal; Mellinger, R.M., (1979) Quantitative X-ray Diffraction Analysis of Clay Minerals.

Based on the soil characteristics analysis on the archaeological sites, experimental studies were conducted on the consolidation effect of the BS-10 consolidation material on the archaeological sites of adobe and rammed earth. The results showed the following:, after consolidation, the wind erosion resistance of the soil on the archaeological sites was substantially increased, and the wind erosion modulus was reduced by 58 times; the soil exhibited fine grid structure and significantly reduced degree of permeability, while still maintaining the moisture exchange between inside and outside the soil; there is excellent ageing resistance; the resistance to freezing and thawing was closely related to the soil water content and had little influence in arid regions; the water resistance was improved and could satisfy the requirements for consolidating the sites in arid regions; the unconfined compressive strength was improved moderately, which was the key direction of improvement in the future, and the consolidated soil did not form duricrust on the surface and had good bonding strength with the internal parts. The BS-10 material can meet the consolidation requirements for the earthen archaeological sites in arid regions of northwest China. © 2016 Dong Zhao et al.",,"Architecture; Arid regions; Compressive strength; Erosion; Soil moisture; Water content; Archaeological site; Consolidated soils; Direction of improvement; Earthen architecture sites; Freezing and thawing; Soil characteristics; Soil water content; Unconfined compressive strength; Soils",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Fodde, E., Traditional earthen building techniques in central Asia (2009) International Journal of Architectural Heritage, 3 (2), pp. 145-168; Charnov, A.A., 100 years of site maintenance and repair: Conservation of earthen archaeological sites in the American Southwest (2011) Journal of Architectural Conservation, 17 (2), pp. 59-75; Fodde, E., Structural faults in earthen archaeological sites in central Asia: Analysis and repair methods (2008) Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historic Construction, pp. 1415-1422. , D.

The excavation of the Late Bronze Age settlement of Thessaloniki Toumba (northern Greece), revealed an abundance of this type of material with apparent preservation problems mainly caused by swelling phenomena due to water absorption and/or humidity fluctuations. This led to the alteration of the structural and aesthetic integrity of the archaeological findings, jeopardizing the preservation of the site and as a consequence, the archaeological evidence that they contain. Triggered by the identification of swelling clay phases in the sixteen samples of mud-bricks, this work studies the effectiveness, in terms of anti-swelling action, of two different categories of calcium hydroxide materials: saturated solution of calcium hydroxide (limewater) and various types of laboratory produced nano-lime dispersions. The effect of the dispersion medium (water and mixed polar solvents) on the reactivity of calcium hydroxide with clays and the stabilization of their microstructure were investigated on laboratory produced clay briquettes containing different percentages of montmorillonite (1, 5 and 15 % w/w). The interpretation of mineralogical (XRD) and chemical results (FTIR) highlighted the significance of the dispersion medium for the treatments and the beneficial role of laboratory prepared nano-lime dispersions when they are used as swelling inhibitors. Nanolimes were able to react and stabilize the external layers of clays through the formation of C-S-H, thus resulting in increased durability of mud-briquettes against swelling. © 2020 Global Research Online.

However, at present, Spanish regulations do not contemplate the properties of traditional materials, such as those found in earthen constructions, whose great thermal inertia is ignored despite their thermal gains and compensations. Given these limitations, the purpose of this study is to assess the thermal behaviour of traditional earthen architecture adjusting to its real performance and original surroundings. This work thus examines a methodology to assess the thermal behaviour of rammed earth walls based on on-site data specifically collected in the summer in a case study located in La Serranía, a region in the northwest of the province of Valencia (Spain). The results show the evolution of exterior and interior surface temperatures of the earthen wall, quantifying its variation frequency and thermal energy transmission. Based on these data, the thermal transmittance of the wall is calculated and compared to highlight the difference from the normalised value, showing that a review of the Spanish regulations applied to earthen architecture is needed. © 2019 by the authors.","Earthen architecture; Rammed earth; Thermal behaviour; Thermal transmittance; Vernacular heritage","architectural design; cultural tradition; heat transfer; inertia; temperature profile; traditional knowledge; wall; Comunidad Valencia; Spain",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"(2019), https://www.codigotecnico.org, accessed on 25 January; Rasulo, M., Vernacular architecture related to the climate in the Mediterranean Basin: A lesson we should learn (2003) Int.

In addition to evidence of early pottery and mounded earthen architecture, this site has produced fourteen sets of human remains in twelve discrete burials. The people of La Consentida lived and died during a period of key socioeconomic transitions including the establishment of sedentary villages, a shift toward agriculture, and the origins of formalized social inequality. In this paper, we discuss the archaeological context of La Consentida's burials and the results of bioarchaeological and stable isotopic analyses of human and faunal remains from the site. Stable isotope values and paleopathological data suggest significant maize consumption concurrent with increasing dental attrition. Considered alongside changes in food processing tools, this pattern suggests a culinary transition regarding maize use. Burial goods and associated features (including a ceremonial cache containing faunal remains, ceramics, and a musical instrument) shed light on mortuary practices.

The typology studied is called ksar (ksour, pl.). Throughout various research projects, we have been able to explore this territory, documenting in field sheets the characteristics of a total of 30 ksour in the Outat valley, 20 in the mountain range and 53 in the Mdagra oasis. The objective of the present work is to analyze, through qualitative and quantitative data, the main characteristics of this vernacular architecture as a perfect example of an environmentally respectful habitat, obtaining concrete data on its traditional character and its sustainability. The methodology followed is based on case studies and, as a result, we have obtained a typological classification of the ksour of this region and their relationship with the territory, as well as the social, functional, defensive, productive, and building characteristics that define them. Knowing and puttin in value this vernacular heritage is the first step towards protecting it and to show our commitment to future generations. © 2021 by the authors.

Besides stone-work, the construction of the monumental rampart made extensive use of mudbricks. In 2016–2017, PULP introduced a pilot study based on analytical techniques (pXRF, SEM-EDS, granulometric and petrographic analysis) to address issues relating to the manufacture and construction of the earthen architecture of the rampart. The paper presents a description of the geoarchaeological analyses and their results, which have highlighted specific manufacturing practices in relation to the construction of the monument. Given that the rampart constituted a major investment of the royal authorities of ancient Paphos, the results provide new information on the production of earthen building materials and also on environmental choices with respect to raw material selection in the context of a public project carried out by a central authority circa the mid first millennium BCE. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd","Cyprus; Earthen architecture; Geoarchaeology; Granulometric analysis; Mudbrick; Petrography; pXRF",,,,,,"A.G.

The present work shows the results of an investigation carried out on the earthen constructions in the Drâa valley, with the aim to know and to document the local building culture and the traditional construction techniques. The built heritage of the Drâa valley is worthy of study because it represents an excellent example of how local population was able to meet, in an excellent and sustainable way, the environmental challenges, starting from the environment and climatic features and from the availability of the construction materials. Unfortunately, the change of life style and the ""race to progress"" is producing a gradual loss of the traditional constructive culture and the related technical know-how, developed over the centuries. Such difficult situation is confirmed also by the lack of master masons and new skilled workers, jointly to the massive diffusion of the concrete construction. Consequently, many of the earthen building of the Drâa valley have been abandoned or lack the necessary maintenance. The present work tries also to investigate the main recurrent pathologies of traditional buildings and settlements in order to suggest some intervention guidelines (and related safeguarding criteria) for the conservation, preservation and enhancement of this rich heritage.","Drâa valley; Earthen bricks; Earthen building pathologies; Earthen building techniques; Rammed earth",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Baglioni, E., (2009) Tecniche costruttive in terra cruda nella Valle del Drâa, , Marocco, unpublished graduation thesis, Architecture Faculty of Florence University, Italy; Baglioni, E., Dipasquale, L., Mecca, S., Rkha Chaham, K., Cultural Landscape of the Drâa valley, Morocco (2012) Digital proceedings of XI Conferencia Internacional sobre el Estudio y Conservación de la Arquitectura Patrimonial de Tierra, , Terra 2012, April 22-27, 2012, Lima, Perù; Baglioni, E., Mecca, S., As tipologias habitacionais tradicionais no Vale do Drâa (Marrocos): a casa-pátio.

Lacking the very architectural devices originally in place to combat and control weathering, earthen ruins face rapid deterioration without constant remedial and preventive conservation. Often it is the enormous mass of many ancient earthen ruins that explain their persistence; however, even these will collapse over time from differential erosion, or eventually stabilize as formless lumps. The impossible demands of simultaneously preserving architectural form and fabric (materiality) challenge the archaeologist and conservation professional who attempt to manage both for temporary and permanent display. © 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.","Adobe; Capping; Conservation; Earthen architecture; Mud brick; Ruins; Shelter coats",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Buccellati, G., Conservation qua archaeology at tell mozan/Urkesh (2003) Of the Past, for the Future: Integrating Archaeology and Conservation, Proceedings of the Conservation Theme at the 5th World Archaeological Congress, pp. 152-156. , N.

The preparation of earthen construction materials for civic buildings can shed light on aspects of community development such as labor organization, resource management, and architectural technologies. We apply geochemical results to reconstructing how public buildings were made as communities moved toward socio-political complexity in this region. However, there are few geochemical studies in the Andes, and little prior scientific analysis of earthen architecture. We therefore tested the efficacy of WDXRF for this region, and developed control materials. Our archaeological samples were selected from two Formative villages, Chiripa and Kala Uyuni. In this study, we performed WDXRF analyses on 63 archaeological and control samples including archaeological floors, walling, plasters, and mortars, as well as contemporary ethnographic walling and topsoils. Elemental signatures for 28 elements clearly distinguished the archaeological flooring, walling, plaster, and mortars from ethnographic and off-site controls. More subtle variations were detected that distinguish study sites and the different material types. Laboratory-calibrated multi-element XRF effectively supports efforts to reconstruct the pathways to social complexity in the Titicaca Basin. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.",,"architectural design; building stone; community development; dispersion; ethnography; geochemical survey; labor; topsoil; wavelength; X-ray fluorescence; Andes; Bolivia; La Paz [Bolivia]; Taraco Peninsula",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Abrams, E., Parhamovich, J., Butcher, J., McCord, B., Chemical composition of architectural plaster at the Classic Maya kingdom of Piedras Negras, Guatemala (2012) Journal of Archaeological Science, 39 (5), pp. 1648-1654; Aldenderfer, M.S., Craig, N., Speakman, R.J., Popelka-Filcoff, R.S., Four-thousand-year-old gold artifacts from the Lake Titicaca basin, southern Peru (2008) Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 105 (13), pp. 5002-5005; Anders, M.B., Investigation of state storage facilities in Pampa Grande, Peru (1981) Journal of Field Archaeology, 8 (4), pp. 391-404; Avrami, E., Guillaud, J., Hardy, M., (2008) Terra literature review, an overview of research in earthen architecture conservation, , Los Angeles: The Getty Conservation Institute; Bandy, M.S., Fissioning, scalar stress, and social evolution in early village societies (2004) American Anthropologist, 106 (2), pp. 322-333; Bandy, M.S., Early village society in the Formative Period of the Southern Lake Titicaca basin (2006) Andean archaeology III: north and south, pp. 210-236. , W.H.

Micromorphological analysis has shown potential to differentiate manufacturing techniques, and diagnostic features have been established for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cases. This paper evaluates the method on construction samples from Mesoamerica, where earthen architecture emerged independently from the Old World and where the marked seasonal rainfall pattern characteristic of the tropics, and the human settlement on soils and sediments originating from relatively recent volcanic activity, create conditions that mostly differ from previously analyzed cases. In this first comparative analysis, we use 16 samples of the most representative construction elements in Mesoamerica: mud-brick, cob walls and facings from monumental architecture, obtained from seven major sites, dating to the first millennium AD, located both in coastal lowlands and in semi-arid to arid plateaus. All elements analyzed are made of mixes in plastic state, as there is no evidence of rammed earth or poured earth techniques in Mesoamerica. Therefore, the features related to the amount of water added are similar, with differences appearing in the selection and combination of raw materials, and the manufacturing processes of kneading, adding mineral and organic aggregates, and applying. The use of materials of volcanic origin gives a particular appearance to all samples. The features defined in previous research were useful for the sample analysis, showing that manufacturing process was very similar and that the method can be applied in Mesoamerica, to assist in the correct technological identification of construction systems. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd","Cob; Fabric; Mud plaster; Mud-brick; Porosity; Technology; Temper","architecture; Classic period; comparative study; construction; human settlement; manufacturing; mud; porosity; technology; Mesoamerica",,,,,"Boston University, BU; Tulane University; Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, CONACYT: CB2015-254328; Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, UNAM; Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, UAZ","The authors acknowledge CONACyT, Mexico, funding for project CB2015-254328, 2017–2021 (AD project leader, SP and HF undergraduate grants, and MM postdoctoral fellowship) and the permissions of the Archaeological Council of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH), which allowed to carry out the excavations, sampling and subsequent study of the materials, property of the Mexican Nation.

This legacy has been improved and adapted during the Spanish Empire age in the Americas, resulting in several techniques that are still in use for new constructions. Furthermore, the existence of a live tradition related to earthen architecture has permitted to explore and analyze diverse strategies to enhance the safety and service life of these constructions. The presence of various threads, like seismic events and extreme climatological environments, led to developing local strategies to adapt earth-based techniques, generically divided into three groups: those of adobe, rammed earth, and wattle and daub. The pursue of improvement is not limited to traditional technologies and techniques. In fact, it has been a permanent exploration in which there are relevant and recent proposals as well. This chapter is intended to offer a general view of local applications of earthen construction techniques to illustrate the variety and cultural wealth present in this living tradition. Furthermore, it explores how the local expressions of earth-based architecture are examples of adaptation in diverse environmental scenarios and how some recent proposals are trying to enhance, enrich, and promote the use of earthen-based materials as an innovative solution for the present-day needs. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.","Earthen-based construction; Heritage; Reinforcement strategies; Retrofitting; Vernacular architecture",,,,,,"1147912, 1147944; 181123; National Science Foundation, NSF; Andrew W.

A two-step study first compared 10 construction and 6 paleosoil samples with previously profiled archaeological bitumen of the site of La Joya. This procedure required to adapt the standard bitumen protocol by Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry and δ13C Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry for low concentration of organic extract in earthen sediment samples, and allowed to infer that bitumen was added to the construction samples. A second step compared the La Joya results with 63 earthen architecture samples from 13 sites in Mesoamerica to evaluate whether the strategy was unique to the site or if it was shared and possibly exported. The results indicate that the use of bitumen as a stabilizer was opportunistic in sites on the Gulf coast located nearby surface seeps, but that the technology was not exported to sites in contact with the Gulf region. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd","Biomarkers; GC–MS; IRMS; Mesoamerica; Mud plaster; Mudbrick; Petroleum",,,,,,"65-72; 45-46; 47-55; 26101003; 73-74; National Science Foundation, NSF: 56-62, 63-64, 75-84, BCS-1321247, BCS-1522630, BCS-1524214; Wenner-Gren Foundation, WGF: LN 232619, LN 271614, LN 279740, LN 293904; Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, CONACYT: 21-28, 29-37, CB2015-254328; Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, CNRS; Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, UNAM: DGAPA PAPIIT IN400816; Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, UAZ; Japan Science Society, JSS: 18H05631, A-24682005; Ministère de la Culture","The samples were obtained and processed with the permission of the different countries’ respective authorities: the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH, México), the Instituto de Antropología e Historia (IDAEH, Guatemala) and the Concejo Nacional para la Cultura y el Arte (Ministerio de Cultura, El Salvador).

It determines the compositional differences of the raw material employed as building material and for ceramic production by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTG), Fourier-transform infrared analysis (FTIR) and geotechnical analyses. The research also advances the knowledge of ceramic manufacturing technology, with a focus on impasto production, at Col di Marzo between the fifth and mid-third centuries bce and the surrounding territory on the left bank of the River Tiber. The compositional analysis of building material compared with the ceramics provides answers to questions related to their sourcing and deepens the understanding of the exploitation of natural resources. © 2020 The Authors.

In the course of understanding and mastering the performances and characteristics of different environmental soils by human beings, a rich variety of earthen architectural sites have been created. Based on documentary records and research results, this paper divides earthen architectural sites into five classes (i.e., raw soil, wattle and daub, rammed earth, adobe masonry and mud piled construction) and 15 subclasses by building technique on the basis of the investigation of preservation state, architectural form and structural feature of earthen sites and traditional building techniques. It also reveals that 1) the building techniques show a progressive developing evolution with the promotion by productivity growth and functional requirements, and 2) different building techniques have their respective features but interpenetrate to each other, which indicates building techniques are the embodiment of acclimatization and functional requirements and have certain regularity. This paper provides a basis for further study of early architectural forms and building techniques. © 2019,Sciences of Conservation and Archaeology.

Very few studies are reported in the literature where SERS-based techniques are used in fungi identification, most of them focused on clinical diagnosis. In the present investigation, pure colonies isolated from biofilms on earthen walls previously identified by classic taxonomy and molecular biology were selected. The genera were Trichoderma, Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Neurospora, Fusarium and Penicillium. The fungi were cultured on solid potato dextrose agar, extracted with ethyl acetate and the extracts were applied on dried Au nanoparticles. The SERS spectra exhibited bands in the 600–1800 cm−1 region which are characteristic of each genus, except Penicillium, as revealed by PCA statistical analysis. This work reports the use of a facile to prepare SERS-active substrate in the identification of microbial communities on earthen architecture walls and is the first step of an investigation aiming at the fast identification of fungi species from biofilms formed on earthen architecture buildings without the need of isolating the pure cultures. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.","Biodeterioration; Earthen architecture; Fungi; Paraíba Valley; Raman; SERS","Architecture; Biodegradation; Biofilms; Deterioration; Diagnosis; Fungi; Gold nanoparticles; Landforms; Light transmission; Molecular biology; Raman spectroscopy; Substrates; Walls (structural partitions); Biodeterioration; Earthen architectures; Potato dextrose agars; Raman; SERS; SERS-active substrates; Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy; Taxonomic identifications; Architectural acoustics",,,,,"2012/05356-5, 2012/13119-3, 2012/50038-1, 2014/07841-3; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, CNPq: 302792/2015-5","This work was supported by São Paulo Research Foundation – Fapesp (grant numbers 2012/13119-3 , 2012/05356-5 , 2012/50038-1 and 2014/07841-3 ); and National Council for Scientific and Technological Development – CNPq (grant number 302792/2015-5 ).",,,,,,,,,,"El-Elimat, T., Figueroa, M., Ehrmann, B.M., Cech, N.B., Pearce, C.J., Oberlies, N.H., (2013) J.

Earthen construction techniques are one of these examples, being used in both countries for thousands of years. Through an explanatory qualitative and quantitative analysis, this paper presents an overview of the effects of climate-responsive strategies on thermal performance and indoor comfort of earthen architecture from Northern Egypt and Southern Portugal. To understand the effectiveness of these strategies, measurements of hygrothermal parameters and surveys on occupants’ thermal sensation were conducted in two case studies. From the results, it has been found that the case studies have shown a good thermal performance only by passive means and that the occupants expressed as being comfortable. Thus, vernacular passive strategies still can contribute to achieve indoor comfort conditions and reduce the dependency on mechanical systems. © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, London.",,"Sustainable development; Construction technique; Earthen architectures; Earthen constructions; Mechanical systems; Qualitative and quantitative analysis; Thermal Performance; Thermal sensations; Vernacular architecture; Architecture",,,,,"Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, FCT: PD/BD/113641/2015","The authors would like to acknowledge the support granted by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), in the scope of the Doctoral Program Eco-Construction and Rehabilitation (EcoCoRe), to the Ph.D. scholarship with the reference PD/BD/113641/2015 that was fundamental for the development of this study.",,,,,,,,,,"(2011) Atlas Climático Ibérico: Temperatura Do Ar E Precipitação (1971–2000)/ Iberian Climate Atlas: Air Temperature and Precipitation (1971/2000), , http://www.ipma.pt/resources.www/docs/publicacoes.site/atlas_clima_iberico.pdf; (2010) ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55 – Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy, Atlanta; Berge, B., (2009) The Ecology of Building Materials, , http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/B978-1-85617-537-1.00014-7, 2nd ed., Oxford: Elsevier.

Here we present new findings on the Early Iron Age royal burial mound Tunnug 1 in Tuva. While the site belongs to the same cultural tradition as Arzhan 1, the conceptual roots of the funerary ritual architecture can be traced to precursors in the Mongun Taiga culture and the Mongolian deer stone khirigsuur complex. The clay architecture uncovered at Tunnug 1 does not find any regional comparisons and possibly hints towards a western Central Asian contribution to the formation of the earliest Scythian horizon. Our research demonstrates the value of a multi-disciplinary approach to documenting monumental earthen architecture, including technical approaches (satellite imagery, aerial photographs, 3D models, digital elevation models, geophysics, and radiocarbon dating) with an analysis of construction material and associated finds. © Trustees of Boston University 2020.","Arzhan; burial mound; Early Iron Age; Eurasia; Russia; Siberia; Tuva",,,,,,"656-01-1-41/12-18; Schweizerischer Nationalfonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung, SNF: P400PG_190982; Russian Academy of Sciences, РАН: 0184-2019-0011; Russian Geographical Society, RGO: N 53/04/2019","Field research was conducted as a joint expedition of the Institute of the History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Geographical Society (project Expedition Tunnug), and the Swiss ArchaeoExploration.

The construction of this architecture is tied to a range of socio-political processes, and the temporal patterning of these features is useful for understanding the rate at which populations grew, innovation occurred, and social inequality emerged. Unfortunately, this temporal patterning is poorly understood for many areas of the region, including the Samoan archipelago. Here, we describe a project directed toward establishing a robust chronology for the construction of these earthen and stone terraces and linear mounds on Ta'u Island. Using recent methodological improvements, we highlight the tempo at which different architectural types were constructed on the island and the implications for understanding demographic expansion and changing land tenure practices in the last 1500 years. This research suggests the construction of architecture was largely confined to the 2nd millennium AD with a small number of terraces plausibly built in the 1st millennium AD. This temporal patterning suggests that a reconfiguration of settlement patterns occurred within West Polynesia as people there moved into other regions of Oceania. © 2020 by the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona.","Bayesian modeling; landscape engineering; Oceania; settlement change",,,,,,"National Science Foundation, NSF: 1732360, BCS-1732360","We thank the people of Fitiuta, especially Eseta Kese and Pastor Fred Scanlan, for hosting us during our research.

In the application of the designed protocol, a multidisciplinary analysis of its patrimonial characteristics and multidimensional evaluation was developed, applying the technique of qualitative consultation to a group of experts-the Delphi method. This methodology allowed us to relate the hazard factors and the vulnerability of the asset for each group of risks that affect it. The support of the method in with geographic information systems (GIS) has favored the production of predictive cartography and risk analysis-including the territorial dimensions and spatial interactions of the asset with the physical environment. This has facilitated the obtention of micro-zoning maps of each of the risks examined. The risk mapping in micro-zoning and the knowledge of the structure's vulnerability represents an important contribution to the future conservation and management of this heritage. They favor strategies that minimize the incidence of risks and allow the prioritization of the conservation actions with a minimum economic investment, creating an efficient maintenance program. This will facilitate the protection, conservation and valorization decisions by the administration and the competent bodies involved in the protection of these sites. © 2020 by the authors.

These constructions were built in relation to their surrounding geography or climate through several mechanisms facing the action of solar radiation, water, wind, etc. Design/methodology/approach: The research methodology is based on a comparative analysis of selected case studies representing the constructions and typologies of traditional earthen heritage in a territory with similar geography and climate, albeit with certain zonal limitations. Findings: The results show that these constructions built with earth offer a global solution to environmental conditioning factors of the region by a series of strategies formalised at urban, architectural and constructive level, either independently or jointly. Although climate variations affect its behaviour, traditional earthen architecture seeks compactness to reach indoor comfort. Originality/value: Traditional earthen architecture is a valuable heritage in danger which has been devaluated until several years in this remote region. Therefore, prior knowledge of its bioclimatic strategies and formal constitution is essential to establishing heritage intervention criteria and proposals adapted to its geographical, socio-cultural and socio-economic context. © 2019, Emerald Publishing Limited.","Architecture and climate; Bioclimatic strategies; Earthen architecture; Historical housing; Vernacular heritage",,,,,,"Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, MICINN","The authors wish to thank the residents of the towns and villages of La Serranía for their collaboration throughout the data collection process.

The introduction of diatomite in hydraulic lime mortars as a waterproofing barrier was firstly reported in licensed architectural plans after 1945 in the central region of Portugal. This was the period of Modernist buildings, a recent heritage to preserve and widely disseminated worldwide, recognised as the 20th century heritage. A methodology was presented to test these types of solutions considering the calcined and not calcined diatomite. Experiments reveal that two aspects need to take into account: (1) the presence of not calcined diatomite tends to have a better behaviour in relation to calcined diatomite; (2) the type of diatomite - calcined or not calcined - has influence in the capacity of retaining water in the barrier, as well as the variation of volumetric dosage of the components. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.","Built heritage; Diatomaceous earth; Earthen architecture; Hydraulic lime; Modernist buildings; Rising dampness; Waterproofing barriers","Historic preservation; Lime; Waterproofing; Built heritage; Diatomaceous earth; Earthen architectures; Hydraulic lime; Rising dampness; Calcination",,,,,"Agency for Science, Technology and Research, A*STAR: SFRH/BPD/113053/2015; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, FCT","Alice Tavares gratefully acknowledges the support of FCT – Portuguese national funding Agency for Science, Research and Technology – Grant No SFRH/BPD/113053/2015 .",,,,,,,,,,"ASTM C-305-99, (1999) Mechanical Mixing of Hydraulic Cement Pastes and Mortars of Plastic Consistency, , Annual Book of ASTM Standards Philadelphia; Bakr, H., Diatomite: Its characterization, modifications and applications (2010) Asian J.

According to UNESCO, around 10% of the World Heritage is built using earth, and 57% of these heritage structures are in danger. Although the interest regarding earthen heritage has grown in the last few years, there is still a significant lack of knowledge in terms of material characterization, especially from conservation science point-of-view. In particular, tests regarding water absorption are always difficult to perform with a material that changes completely when in contact with water. Indeed, due to the presence of clay particles, a normal capillarity test is almost impossible to perform. Moreover, water is responsible for a significant number of degradation phenomena often found in earthen heritage. As a result, there is an urgent need to develop suitable water repellent treatments and to evaluate their efficiency. For this reason, this study focuses on the contact sponge method to assess water absorption rates for adobe and for rammed earth specimens treated with three different water repellents — siloxane, linseed oil, and beeswax. Two sets of specimens were prepared and tested, showing that this method can represent an effective way to measure initial water absorption in earthen materials, and promising results from the tested water repellent treatments were found. © 2020 Taylor & Francis.","Contact sponge method; earthen heritage; water absorption; water repellents","History; Water treatment; Waterproofing; Conservation science; Construction history; Heritage structures; Material characterizations; Technological development; Water absorption rates; Water repellent treatment; Water repellents; Water absorption; absorption; capillarity; cultural heritage; detection method; measurement method; UNESCO; World Heritage Site",,,,,"Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, FCT: PD/BD/114411/2016, PTDC/ECM-EST/2777/2014","This work was supported by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia [PD/BD/114411/2016,PTDC/ECM-EST/2777/2014].

The global challenge of preserving the environment forces us to rethink the way we produce architecture today. Within this challenge, the past shows us possible ways to fill the gap between tradition and modernity. However, we need to understand what motivates people to abandon ancestral materials and knowledge for materials that they cannot manufacture or use themselves. Is this transformation to industrial materials and forms irreversible? Is there nothing we can learn from our rich past? How can we revive endogenous knowledge to produce environmentally wise architecture?

It provides a home to more than half of the world’s population and can be found in seismically active areas. Empirically acquired knowledge on building with rammed earth (RE) has usually been passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, with no written scientific grant for the load-bearing capacity and resistance of structural elements. Today, many countries still do not have standards for the design of RE structures. In the development of new as well as existing design standards, the results of experimental research play a significant role. The focus of this study was on unstabilized RE, which is locally available material with low embodied energy. This paper elaborates experimental campaigns, within which meticulous techniques were employed to provide new knowledge on RE for use in earthquake-prone areas. Furthermore, this paper includes: (i) ranges of values of mechanical properties determined on RE specimens from all over the world; (ii) a comparative summary of experimental research conducted on walls and buildings to assess their seismic performance; (iii) an overview of standards and testing methods used in experiments; and (iv) recommendations for further research. © 2021 by the authors.

Today, it is well known for its good environmental properties of recyclability and low embodied energy along the production process. Earthen walls regulate the interior temperature of the buildings, providing comfortable temperatures with a very low carbon footprint. As a result of those advantages, earthen building techniques have been revived and used for contemporary architecture. The aim of this paper is to review the state of the art about the thermal behaviour of earthen building, including all the monitoring and simulation analysis of real earthen constructions up to now. The paper presents the different earthen techniques known nowadays, analysing the most important thermal parameters and the thermal comfort achieved with each technique. Regardless the wide differences among the analyzed cases, the authors conclude that earth building is a suitable solution in hot and arid climates, since it preserves the indoor temperature within the thermal comfort limits most part of the time without any active system. © 2021 by the authors.

A number of interrelated factors (inhibitors) render earth globally unpopular, and, in the UK in particular, earth is not readily exploited. Certain factors (enablers), no doubt, may increase the acceptance level of earthen construction and technology, and a key aim of this article is to deliver an in-depth investigation and present a clear understanding of how certain enablers may support the widespread acceptance of earth-based material in the context of UK urban housing. In order to achieve this aim, an Interpretivist research philosophy was employed. It comprises a detailed review of the current literature and Delphi method (designed to identify generic enablers that may support acceptance of earth); in-depth interviews employed to validate and contribute to an extensive list of drivers that may promote the widespread acceptance of earth in the background of UK urban housing. A number of interrelated enablers such as offering earth-based material courses in universities, organizing training programmes for all stakeholders, promoting earth building via British media, increased funding on earth construction innovation and exhibiting exemplar earth architecture are found to be the key enablers of acceptance of earth in the UK urban housing. However, this study recommends that implementing all these enablers along with constructing exemplar earth structures in all local areas of the UK would increase public acceptance of earth. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.","building material; earth; Enablers; environmental sustainability; urban housing","Housing; Construction professionals; Earth construction; Earth structures; Earthen architectures; Earthen constructions; In-depth interviews; Public acceptance; Training programmes; Construction",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Adams, C., The realities of specifying environmental building materials (2005) Alternative construction: Contemporary natural building methods, , Elizabeth L., Adams C., (eds), New York, USA: John Wiley and Sons, Inc,.

The aim of this paper is to formulate a conceptual framework that facilitates a clearer understanding of factors affecting the acceptance of earth as a sustainable material in the UK. To achieve this aim, this study adopted a research methodological framework comprising of an extensive review of literature, the Delphi technique, and in-depth interviews. The conceptual framework provides insight into factors related to the UK context specifically including a lack of technological innovation, resources, well-established supply chain networks, training facilities in universities and building codes. These issues may be addressed through the promotion of earthen architecture as a method of cutting CO2 emissions and introducing earth construction modules in relevant degree programs. © 2020 The Authors.

Although earthen architecture made up the vast majority of public and domestic structures in ancient Egypt, it still does not receive the same analytical attention from archaeologists as other categories of evidence. This paper presents a case study for the archaeological investigation of the earthen architecture at Tell Timai. The goal was to develop a methodology that can be implemented in the field by excavators with little geoarchaeological training and limited laboratory access in order to generate useful data for determining building stratigraphy and studying construction processes. Through the close examination and sampling of three buildings of different periods and scales, we tested a new field methodology combining geoarchaeological techniques and mensiochronology. The results provide information useful for stratigraphy and phasing as well as for identif ying specific patterns of mudbrick manufacturing, production, and construction during the Graeco-Roman period at Tell Timai.1 © University of Chicago Press.

The main objective of this research is to clarify the relationship of economic and environmental factors with the acceptance of newly built earthen houses. The research is a cross-sectional study conducted through a survey method. The sample population consisted of 145 young educated couples in Yazd selected based on the Cochran formula and through a multi-stage cluster sampling procedure. The results showed that the acceptance of newly built earthen houses among the respondents was higher than average. The perceived usefulness of this architecture in terms of both economic and environmental factors had a positive and significant correlation with the acceptance of that, while none of the demographic variables associated with acceptance. Using the regression model, environmental and then economic factors were found to account for 39% of the variance for the acceptance of the earthen architecture. According to these results, it seems that taking environmental and economic factors into consideration can affect people's interest and their acceptance of newly built earthen houses. In this regard, certain architectural solutions are presented in the paper. This research findings provide motivation for further and broader studies in this field. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd","Earthen houses; Economy; Environment; Technology acceptance; Yazd","Architecture; Houses; Regression analysis; Architectural solutions; Cross-sectional study; Demographic variables; Economy; Environment; Environmental factors; Technology acceptance; Yazd; Environmental technology; economics; environmental factor; Iran; Yazd",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Morton, T., Bennetts, R., Earth Masonry: Design and Construction Guidelines (2008), IHS BRE Press; (2009) World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), , https://www.wbcsd.org, [Online].

Many of these areas are currently tackling economic, social and environmental problems, resulting in unemployment, disengagement, depopulation, marginalization or loss of cultural and biological diversity. Both in Europe and in China, policies for rural development address three core areas of intervention: agricultural competitiveness, environmental protection and the promotion of rural amenities through strengthening and diversifying the economic base of rural communities. The challenge is to create innovative pathways for regeneration based on raising awareness to inspire local rural communities to develop alternative actions to reduce poverty while preserving the unique aspects of their local environment and culture. In this view, cultural heritage can be a catalyst for the sustainable growth of the rural community. Through a series of projects on a national and international scale, the authors have addressed some of these problems by exchanging best practices in conservation, sustainable use and the enhancement of the underground heritage. © 2019 by the authors.

At Fewet, the production of mud bricks, plasters, and mortars employed in the building of the compound required raw materials available near the settlement. The earthen elements lack almost completely clay and organic temper, and their main components are quartz grains (sandy to silty) and a calcareous and slightly organic mud, available beside former springs. Only plaster and mortars show the addition (in limited quantity) of finely subdivided vegetal remains to the mixture. The technology for earthen elements used in Garamantian times resembles those today applied at many localities in Sub-Saharan Africa. Finally, our analyses showed that in the last millennia archaeological sediments underwent limited postdepositional weathering, mostly related to solute redistribution after occasional rainfalls. Today, the same process affects traditional mud brick buildings. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd","Earthen architectural structures; Garamantian period; Late Holocene; Saharan oasis; Technological continuity","archaeological evidence; architecture; building; excavation; Holocene; mud; oasis; technological change; Libyan Arab Jamahiriya; Sahara",,,,,"Università degli Studi di Milano, UniMi; Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MOFA: RV_RIC_AT16AZERB-M; Sapienza Università di Roma; Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale, MAECI","The research has been carried out under the aegis of the Italian-Libyan Archaeological Mission in the Acacus and Messak, Sapienza University of Rome and Department of Archaeology, Tripoli, at present directed by S. di Lernia.

The 13 villages (ksar/ksour in Arabic) in M’Hamid share many sociological, urban, and architectural similarities with the ksour located in the pre-Saharan valleys. These similarities range from environmental threats, such as extreme climate, to the current social and economic model. As a result, the settlements are being abandoned, and the tangible and intangible heritage of the Drâa Valley is in a progressive disappearance. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach: To deal with the complexity of this problem, a progressive approach beginning at the territorial scale must be developed. In this regard, a lasting solution can be found only by promoting development that integrates nature, culture, and architecture, as well as by finding a new balance of these elements within the current social and economic requirements. Findings: This paper presents part of the research conducted by the team of the Terrachidia Association, which allows an overall understanding of the place. To this aim, the new social and economic context of the Drâa Valley is pointed out, as well as the characteristic features of M’Hamid architecture and urbanism. In this regard, the principles and requirements of its conservation are presented, and the project of the Terrachidia Association is also described. Finally, the project’s impact is assessed and the results of the set of interventions are evaluated. Practical implications: Since 2012, the activity of the Terrachidia Association has focussed on the study, promotion, preservation, and restoration of the architectural and cultural heritage of M’Hamid. The main activity of the association focusses on the organization of workshops, which are attended mainly by university students and professionals from around the world. Social implications: In total, 13 workshops were organized since 2012, thanks to the engagement of the local population. In this period, around 300 participants from more than 15 different countries attended these workshops, working with approximately a 100 local craftsmen. All of them share a similar commitment to the work that Terrachidia is developing. These workshops allow the participants to know places and people in a way hardly achievable through conventional tourism. At the same time, this awareness is also achieved in the local population, and cultural exchange strengthens its identity. Originality/value: The purpose of the workshops organized by Terrachidia is manifold, and the participants actively take part in the restoration works while they interact and exchange experiences with a reality that is generally unknown in western societies. The local population also benefits from this cultural exchange by strengthening their identity, which is linked to architecture, and demonstrating the economic possibilities of conservation through responsible tourism. And these aims are achieved through a self-managed project, which benefits all involved. © 2017, © Emerald Publishing Limited.","Cultural heritage; Earthen architecture conservation; Sustainable development",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"(2008) Monographie de la Province de Zagora, , unpublished, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of the Kingdom of Morocco, Rabat; (2015) La Ayuda Oficial al Desarrollo española se incrementará en 2016 hasta un 0.21%, , AECID Press Centre, Madrid; Brenner, N., Theses on urbanization (2013) Public Culture, 25 (1), pp. 85-114; Colmenares Fernández, M., (2014) Los Oasis del Valle del Drâa: consecuencias sociales y ambientales derivadas de las políticas nacionales de explotación del suelo, , Urbanism and Agricultural Systems, Department of Town and Territorial Planning of the School of Architecture of Madrid, Madrid; Colmenares Fernández, M., Domínguez Martínez, O., García Hermida, A., Moreno Adán, C., Peña López, R., (2016) Mhamid, el último oasis del Draa: Paisaje y Patrimonio Cultural, , Mairea Libros, Madrid; Davis, M., (2006) Planet of Slums, , Verso, London; Gans, H.J., Some problems of and futures for urban sociology: toward a sociology of settlement (2009) City & Community, 8 (3), pp. 211-219; Gillot, L., (2011) Patrimoine et développement local: pratiques institutionnelles et pratiques sociales, , Proceedings of the 17th ICOMOS General Assembly Symposium, ICOMOS France, Paris, 27 November-2 December; Lomøy, J., (2013) Spain: mid-term review 2013, , unpublished, The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Paris; Mimó, R., (1996) Fortalezas de barro en el sur de Marruecos, , Compañía Literaria, Madrid; Nijst, A., Priemus, H., Swets, H., (1973) Living on the Edge of the Sahara.

An archaeometric study of earthen mortars from buildings of different ages in Cremona allowed investigating the evolution throughout centuries of a well-established masonry tradition. Three typologies of earthen mortars were identified, differing in the amount of added lime. A two-step change in the technology of earthen mortars manufacturing has been inferred. Since the XVII century, lime was added in larger amounts to the mixtures. During the XVIII–XIX centuries, organic additives were employed to further improve the performances of the earthen mortars. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd","Archaeometry; Earthen mortars; Hydraulic compounds; Lime; Neogenic phases; Organic additives","Lime; Manufacture; Archaeometric; Archaeometry; Different ages; Earthen architectures; Hydraulic compounds; Neogenic phases; Northern Italy; Organic additives; Mortar",,,,,"Fondazione Cariplo","The authors are grateful to the Fondazione Cariplo for the financial support provided to the projects “Promuovere buone prassi di prevenzione e conservazione del patrimonio storico e architettonico”.

The experimental campaign intends to assess the capacity of these stabilized plasters to guarantee an appropriate protection of earthen walls.

In 2011 the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) collaborated with the Centre de Conservation et de Réhabilation du Patrimoine Architectural des Zones Atlasiques et Subatlasiques (CERKAS) to develop a Conservation and Rehabilitation Plan (CRP) for one of the region's most significant earthen sites, Kasbah Taourirt in Ouarzazate. A registered national monument dating from the 16th century, Kasbah Taourirt was once a residence of the Glaoua Caid, who ruled the region in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Its richly decorated architecture and wall paintings represent Berber culture and include building types of high architectural, social and historical significance. The main objective of the project was to develop a methodology for preserving Kasbah Taourirt that addresses economic, social, cultural and technical challenges holistically and can serve as a model for similar sites in the region. The CRP sought to establish an appropriate conservation process that respects the original fabric, preserves local building traditions and promotes earthen architecture, develops appropriate participatory processes and builds local capacity. The project has been implemented in three phases: Phase one included the documentation of the entire earthen complex. Phase two encompassed the development of the conservation and rehabilitation plan, a process completed collaboratively with the community and Ouarzazate Municipality which considers the re-use of the whole ensemble and each of its sectors, its future management and maintenance, and protection of the original natural setting. This work has also involved emergency stabilization of vulnerable buildings and testing for the conservation of wall paintings. Phase three is the publication of the plan and dissemination of information about the site to local authorities, scholars, and the community. All phases have included training and capacity building on aspects related to the conservation of earthen sites including 1) documentation, 2) rehabilitation planning; and 3) analysis of earthen materials and conservation of wall paintings. This paper describes the components of the project, presents a critical view of the different activities involved in producing the CRP, and suggests a model for best practice in dealing with similar sites in the region.","Conservation planning; Earthen architecture; Rehabilitation; Traditional building techniques",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Boussalh, M., (2009) Quel avenir pour les architectures de terre au Maroc' In Mediterra 2009: 1a conferenza Mediterranea sull'architettura in terra cruda = 1ère conférence Méditerranéenne sur l'architecture de terre = 1st Mediterranean Conference on Earth Architecture, , 1st ed. ed.

This work is not a stand-alone practice but a part of the overall conservation process of cultural heritage at imminent risk of irreversible damage. Recording of heritage places should be directly related to the needs, skills and the technology that are available to the end users that are responsible for the management and care of these sites. They should be selected in a way that the future managers of these sites can also access and use the data collected. This paper explains an innovative heritage recording approach applied by the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) in the documentation of historic decorated surfaces at the Caïd Residence, located at Tighermt (Kasbah) Taourirt in Ouarzazate, Morocco; as part of a collaborative project between the GCI and the Centre de Conservation et Réhabilitation du Patrimoine Architectural des Zones Atlasiques et Sub-Atlasiques (CERKAS) to rehabilitate the entire architectural ensemble. The selected recording techniques were used for the rapid mapping of conditions of the decorated surfaces at the Caïd Residence using international standards. The resulting work is being used by GCI staff, consultants and CERKAS team to conduct emergency stabilization and protection measures for these important decorated surfaces. © 2015 Copernicus GmbH.

The recognition of the village as a contributing element is reliant on the successful assessment of its authenticity and integrity. Responding to the dramatically declining integrity of the village, the World Heritage Centre has carried out an architectural study to guide the potential conservation works in the property. The study has recommended that a group of objectives and two approaches to the conservation of the village should be adopted. One of these two approaches has been concerned with the conservation of the village according to the architect's original intentions and principles. The previous approach can be called the principles-based approach. The main aim of this study was to examine the agreement of the World Heritage Centre's objectives and their proposed principles-based approach to the conservation of the village with the aim to improve its chance in meeting the conditions of authenticity and integrity. The study approached the previous aim by assessing, by means of a proposed methodology; the level of significance, authenticity and integrity of the property. Based on the previous assessment, a list of conservation interventions was proposed to improve the property's chance in meeting the conditions of authenticity and integrity. Finally, the World Heritage Centre's recommended approaches and objectives were examined against the previous proposed conservation interventions. The findings indicated the possibility to adopt the principles-based approach to the conservation of New Gourna Village, as well as the other World Heritage Centre's objectives, without limiting the property's chance in meeting the conditions of authenticity and integrity. The study recommends to carry out further studies that are concerned with the identification of the architect's philosophy and architectural principles that should be the key reference of all the potential conservation interventions in the village. © 2014 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.","Architectural conservation; Authenticity and integrity assessment; Earthen heritage; Hassan Fathy; New Gourna Village; World Heritage Sites","Architecture; Authentication; Earthen heritage; Hassan Fathy; Heritage sites; Integrity assessment; New gourna; Rural areas",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Pyla, P., The many lives of New Gourna: Alternative histories of a model community and their current significance (2009) J. of Architecture, 14 (6), pp. 715-730; Steele, J., (1997) An Architecture for People, the Complete Works of Hassan Fathy, , first ed.

Frost cycling is likely to be an important contributor to the deterioration of earthen heritage, with frost damage known to cause deterioration features such as flaking and granular disintegration. However, it is not clear how important a contribution frost cycling makes in comparison with other agents. Previous earthen heritage studies have focused on other agents of deterioration, such as wind and rain, or investigated the role of freeze-thaw cycles under conditions unrepresentative of many earthen sites. We investigate how density and moisture content affect the severity of frost damage on earthen heritage using materials and conditions informed by those found at earthen sites in NW China. We prepared rammed earth cubes (5 × 5 × 5 cm) at two densities (1.65 and 1.75 g cm−3) and with five moisture content levels between 0.46 and 8%. Samples were subjected to 80 freeze-thaw temperature cycles (+7 to −15 °C) in an environmental cabinet. Deterioration was recorded using visual assessment, measurements of surface roughness, ultrasonic pulse velocities, a Vicat needle test and mass loss. Results showed frost damage was dependent on moisture content and density of rammed earth samples. Samples with <2% moisture content showed no visible frost damage. Samples with higher moisture contents (>6%) and higher densities exhibited the greatest deterioration with surface granulation, salt efflorescence and flakes detaching from the parent cubes. This suggests that frost damage to rammed earth is likely to be focused in periods when rainfall or snowmelt is followed by freeze-thaw temperature cycling. In addition, results suggest that if higher density earthen materials are used for repairs or restoration for sites in dryland environments, these could be more vulnerable to frost damage than lower density materials. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.","Cryosuction; Heritage site; Laboratory experiment; Pore structure; Weathering","Disintegration; Drying; Freezing; Moisture; Moisture determination; Rain; Surface roughness; Thawing; %moisture; Condition; Cryo-suction; Earthen sites; Freeze/thaw; Frost damage; Heritage sites; Laboratory experiments; Pores structure; Rammed earth; Pore structure; rain; snow; sodium chloride; rain; cyclic sedimentation; frost hardiness; heritage conservation; laboratory method; moisture content; pore space; weathering profile; Article; China; density; earthen heritage; environment; freeze thawing; measurement; melting point; moisture; sample; surface property; temperature; ultrasound; weathering; freezing; human; soil; China; Freezing; Humans; Rain; Soil; Temperature",,"sodium chloride, 7647-14-5, 23724-87-0, 49658-21-1; Soil",,,,"We gratefully acknowledge the Getty Trust for funding the Built Heritage Research programme which enabled us to carry out this research.","We gratefully acknowledge the Getty Trust for funding the Built Heritage Research programme which enabled us to carry out this research.

The 2017 Puebla Earthquake on September 19th struck the country causing the loss, destruction, and damage of historic buildings in several Mexican states, with the traditional earthen dwellings being the most vulnerable structures to these events. The fast abandonment of the local materials and techniques entails further research regarding the characterization of these construction systems, therefore, reconstruction efforts first require the recovery of the construction technique. After the seismic events, adobe samples of the remaining adobe structures of Jojutla de Juarez were collected. This population was one of the most affected in all the country, and, because of the major losses suffered, the study was conducted to determine the material properties of the dwellings’ adobe shards and natural quarry clays of the region. The characterization included destructive and non-destructive tests, mineralogical and granulometry analyses, and composition of the adobe samples of the buildings, as well as the aggregates. As a novelty, the compressive strength of the pieces was tested by two methods: the traditional compression strength test and the point-load test, in order to obtain the indicative values and the correlation equations between both tests. From the formal analysis and the laboratory, it was observed that the adobes from Jojutla presented different compositions which combined with the building malpractices and alterations to the traditional systems caused unpredictable behavior during the earthquake. The conduction of point-load tests in situ, as a part of a complete characterization methodology, could be an alternative to study the mechanical properties of patrimonial or damaged building samples before its disappearance. © 2021 by the authors.

The aim of this paper is to present earthen buildings’ constructions in Greece and show their important contribution to our heritage. The use of earth as a basic constructing material has given different earthen building cultures and techniques. Earthen construction encloses many varied uses and applications, as walls or as plasters. In different periods of time and historical contexts, from the indigenous inhabitants to the neighborhoods of the refugees of Asia Minor Catastrophe, the earth constructions had a primary role. The existence of earthen architecture was investigated in urban and rural sites in Greece. Building information, documentation, and records of buildings’ design, construction techniques, elements, and systems are presented. Today, there is still a rich architectural heritage throughout the country, which has lasted through the years and withstood seismic activities and poor conservation. © 2020 by the authors.

Situation theory offers a synthetic analytical approach to the multiplicity of Middle Woodland ceremonialisms, allowing us to conceive of how people and communities across the midcontinent got caught up in shared conditions. Scioto situations—the Middle Woodland situations occurring within the central Scioto River valley of southern Ohio—have long been famous for their earthen monuments and ornate material symbols. This article analyzes Scioto situations through an examination of the monument assemblage of the Steel Group—an earthwork site with at least 13 earthen enclosures. In doing so, it offers an approach to monumentality that grounds interpretations of the aesthetic and physical nature of monuments within the complicated historical entanglements from which they emerged. © 2020 Midwest Archaeological Conference.","assemblage; monumentality; Scioto Hopewell; situation",,,,,,,"Thank you to G. Logan Miller and Edward Henry for inviting me to take part in the symposium Ceremonial Situations in the North American Midcontinent: Perspectives from the Middle Woodland Era, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Midwest Archaeological Conference. Research access to the Steel Group was provided by the Archaeological Conservancy and the Arc of Appalachia. Data collection over the last three summers was possible due to the untiring support of field crews of graduate and undergraduate students and local volunteers, to whom I am forever indebted.

In Tchogha Zanbil World Heritage Site (WHS) in Iran, this problem causes more damage due to the heavy rains that impact the site in a short period of time. The property encompasses a vast area, which makes regular maintenance more difficult. Also, there are insufficient strategies for controlling water runoff on the structures. Archaeological studies have revealed an ancient system for managing surface water at this site which could be compatible and adaptable for further development of the current management system. This study aims to present sustainable approaches in managing water-risk in the Tchogha Zanbil WHS, by identifying the authenticity values, investigating the problems and challenges in the current water-management system, and more importantly, assessing ancient strategies for controlling water, based on archaeological evidence. © Authors 2020.

This conflict has had a disastrous consequence, for not only Syria urban areas but also its world heritage and historical sites. Moreover, the ongoing conflict resulted in the displacement of over 13 million people that is more than half the population; including more than 6.1 million internally displaced. This long-term encampment is a growing aspect of a growing refugee crisis. The Syrian refugees have to face another crisis in the camps due to a significant shortage of resources and support. One solution was using earthen buildings that have been a traditional architectural style in Syria for 11 thousand years. As a part of the cultural heritage, it depends on community participation and achieves environmental and economic efficiency in addition to preserving memory and identity of the place. This paper discusses the creation of sustainable shelters through the revival of heritage vernacular earthen architecture in northern Syria. A comparative analysis was conducted between the humanitarian agencies shelters (HAS) and different historical vernacular dwellings (HDS) from the same region with an arid steppe climate (hot summer and a short cold winter); they were modelled in numerical thermal simulations framework as a means to assess the shelters' building energy demand and indoor comfort quality. The comparison resulted in the superiority of the heritage dwelling. The paper is concluded with passive approach optimization to the different historical earthen domes with consideration of the historical characteristics and background. © Authors 2020.

A rare example of simultaneous presence of three different earthen architecture techniques (wattle-and-daub, adobe and rammed earth), this heritage faces threat of disappearance due to lack of public concern and loss of know-how directed to earthen techniques. In this paper, the physical and chemical analysis of a large set of samples of local soils and masonry elements formed the basis for a discussion on raw materials and techniques originally used in the construction of those buildings.

A series of observations on wattle and daub constructions in northern France can explain some of the relationships between technology, environment, and human choices. By analyzing how people abandoned these buildings and by observing their decay, a preliminary hypothetical model of the formation processes of the archeological record linked to this type of dwelling can be proposed.

The present study helps to gauge the effects of highly alkaline solutions on the swelling capacity of smectitic clays and experimental results are extrapolated to predict the behavior of smectite-rich soils in various technical applications such as nuclearwaste storage and architectural conservation. The present study revealed extensive dissolution of montmorillonite in 5 M NaOH or 5 M KOH solutions and the neoformation of various zeolites, thereby reducing the clay’s swelling capacity significantly. Saponite, in contrast, experienced less pronounced changes, including transformation into a randomly interstratified saponite-chlorite and a Si-rich amorphous phase. These changes only provoked a partial reduction in swelling capacity. The results imply that under repository conditions (e.g. alkaline environment caused by hyperalkaline fluids released during concrete leaching), the slow and limited transformation of saponite into corrensite-type minerals would be beneficial for preserving the clay’s swelling capacity and, therefore, its effectiveness as a sealing material. Conversely, the loss of swelling capacity as a result of zeolite formation in montmorillonite observed in the present experiments would limit the clay’s effectiveness as a sealing material in waste repositories. In the case of earthen architecture conservation, alkaline consolidation treatments aimed at reducing the soils’ swelling capacity and, thereby, improving water resistance, would only be effective for treating earthen structures made of soils rich in dioctahedral smectites. Soils containing trioctahedral smectites, in contrast, are not likely to improve their water resistance because the swelling capacity will only be partially reduced. © 2015, Clays and Clay Minerals.

However, little empirical research has been done to substantiate these practices. In this paper, we present the results of an experiment testing the compressive strength of blood stabilized rammed earth. Triplicate unstabilized and blood stabilized rammed earth cylinders were tested for compressive strength at 7, 14, and 28 days. Results show the compressive strength of blood-stabilized cylinders to exceed the control cylinders by approximately 36% at 28 days. Biostabilization of rammed earth with blood shows promise for a more sustainable built environment. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group.",,"Blood; Cylinders (shapes); Fertilizers; Sustainable development; Animal by-products; Biostabilization; Built environment; Earthen architectures; Empirical research; Experiment testing; Moisture resistance; Rammed earth; Compressive strength",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Compaction Characteristics of Soil Using Modified Effort (56,000 ft-lbf/ft3 (2,700 kN-m/m3)) (2007) ASTM Standard D1557-12, , ASTM.

Inhabitation and locomotion of animals are major factors that lead to biodegradation and biodeterioration at the cultural heritage sites. In this miniview, based on our team work of cultural relics conservation in recent years, the latest findings domestic and overseas in fields of ethology and bionics were summarized, focusing on the correlated methods and techniques that can be used into cross-over study of cultural relics conservation. Animal's biting, nesting, cocooning, crawling, and scratching are all behavioral process that easily bring damage to cultural heritage, such as ancient murals, architectures, earth ruins and so on. Both modern video record techniques and animal motion trajectory analysis may be taken use to improve the analytic accuracy of gait information for animals that crawling on the surface of cultural relics, which promoted the related study of motor pattern, behavior process, and damage pattern of animals to cultural relics. The three dimensional tiny force sensor with high resolution can be used for measuring normal adhesive force and tangential friction force of animals that contacted the surface of fragile cultural relics, which make animal adhesion modeling and historical relics mechanical model constructing possible, and provide newly evidence for biomechanics process illumination of animals locomotion. Totally, the application of the bionic techniques to the study of animals behavioral characteristics will provide new opportunity to better clarify the biological damaging mechanisms of cultural relics and control animal bioderioration, which will drive the development of cultural relics conservation technology in the near future. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.","Animals damage; Bionic techniques; Cultural heritage; Cultural relics conservation","Behavioral characteristics; Conservation technologies; Correlated methods; Cultural heritages; Cultural relics; Damaging mechanism; Earthen architectures; Tangential friction force; Animals; Biodegradation; Biomimetics; Bionics; Body sensor networks; Friction; Historic preservation",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Li, Z.X., (2005) Conservation of Wall Paintings and Sculptures In Silk Road, , Science press, Beijing; Wang, H.Z., (2009) Preservation of Cultural Relics, , Cultural relics press, Beijing; Saiz-Jimenez, C., Cuezva, S., Jurado, V., Fernandez-Cortes, A., Porcal, E., Benavente, E., Cañaveras, J.C., Sanchez-Moral, S., Paleolithic art in peril: Policy and science collide at Altamira cave (2011) Science, 334, pp. 42-43; Wang, W.F., Lin, C.Y., Zhang, G.B., Jiang, Y.Q., Feng, H.Y., The principium investigation of the main harmful insect existing in grotto-temples along to Gansu and instance convention and cure measures (2009) Dunhuang Res, 118, pp. 30-35; Gorbushina, A.A., Petersen, K., Distribution of microorganisms on ancient wall paintings as related to associated faunal elements (2000) Int.

RE is therefore recoverable at the building end-of-life. For non-common buildings, it is crucial to measure the compressive strength by lab testing on representative samples. While it is necessary to remove the biggest grains to manufacture standard size samples to achieve a homogeneous material, there is no research on how such samples are representative of the in situ RE. This paper develops a similitude relation to take into account the scale effect of the reduction of the size of the biggest grains of scale-down RE samples. The similitude relation is designed for the dry density, the manufacturing water content, and the grain size of the RE. Those parameters were first determined from the construction field of a case study, to define the equivalent parameters to manufacture the scale-down samples with three different grain sizes, capped at 12, 20, 30 mm for the earth; 50 mm being the maximum grain size of the earth used on-site. Compression tests were performed on 66 samples with samples of three different sizes, two geometries and four manufacturing water contents. The compressive strength using the scale-down granulometry samples designed with the similitude relation is similar to the strength of full-scale granulometry whatever samples size or geometry. For a given earth, the method using the similitude relation allows reducing the size of samples without hampering the representativeness of the results. This will help to reduce projects’ costs. © 2022","Circular economy; Compressive Strength; Earthen architecture; Rammed earth; Scale effect","Building materials; Compression testing; Grain size and shape; Manufacture; Circular economy; Earthen architectures; End of lives; Grainsize; Granulometries; Lab testing; Rammed earth; Representative sample; Scale effects; Scale-down; Compressive strength",,,,,"801604","The authors wish to acknowledge the European Union’s Horizon 2020 , UK, research and innovation programme, under grant agreement No 801604 , for supporting this work.

The benefits of earth construction are multiple, especially with regard to the uniqueness as a way of preserving the artisanship and cultural values of architectural heritage. Unfortunately, construction professionals in the United Kingdom are unfamiliar with many aspects of earthen architecture. A number of interrelated barriers inhibit the acceptance of earth-based material and make it an unpopular choice among construction professionals in the UK. The aim of this study is to develop an understanding of such barriers by identifying and analysing them in light of perceptions held across societies, cultures, and acceptability among professionals. To get to the aim, an interpretivist philosophical stance was taken in this research and a critical analysis of up-to-date literature on various barriers was carried out. The Delphi technique and in-depth interviews were then overseen to substantiate which barriers hindering the acceptability of earth-based material in UK urban construction. A series of interconnected barriers such as, absence of supply chain networks, prejudicial conflict, reticence to changing familiar methods of construction as well as lack of knowledge, skill, and training were identified by experts as the key factors hindering the acceptability of earth-based construction material in the UK. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.","acceptability; Barriers; earth construction; environmental sustainability; hinder; urban","Construction; Historic preservation; Philosophical aspects; Supply chains; Sustainable development; Acceptability; Barrier; Construction professionals; Earth construction; Earth materials; Environmental sustainability; Hinder; United kingdom; Urban; Urban context; Building materials",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Abey, J., Smallcombe, J., Cob in contemporary architecture (2007) International Symposium on Earthen Structures, Indian Institute of Science, , Bangalore: 22–24 August, Interline Publishing, India; Adam, E.A., Agib, A.R.A., (2001) Compressed stabilised earth block manufacture in Sudan.

More than 25% of the world’s available natural soil resources are used effectively. The parameters related to the soil are probably the most critical problem for both strength and long-term durability. An attempt tried to solve, Geo-Polymer Earth Bricks are made to improve strength, durability, and modernize earthen architecture. Seventy-two specimens in which the proportion of Fly Ash, Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag, soil, and Quarry Dust (0.5:0.5:1.75:0.25) are prepared and tested after 7 and 28 days. The dosages of coir fiber are selected as 1% of the brick weight and alkaline solution of 10 Molarities. The mix gives enhancement of compressive and flexural strength of 5.93 MPa and 3.43 MPa. The mixed formulations give better resistance against acidic and sulfate attack and enhanced compressive strength up to 40%. The standard deviation and coefficient of variation of brick specimen test results for the mix met less than ±2% and 10% found true value and very good. This research confirms the mix enhancing the strength and durability of the brick and also suggests alternate to burnt clay brick, acid, and sulphate resistant brick and stabilized mud blocks. © 2021 The Author(s).

The macroscopic study of sundried mudbricks is combined with geoarchaeological analyses (SEM and thin section petrography) to explore patterns and variations in the use of vegetal temper throughout the Pre-, Proto-, and Neopalatial periods (3650–1425 BCE). This diversity in the selection of vegetal temper is an important aspect of the chaîne opératoire, which points not only to opportunistic but also technological motivations in the selection of raw source material and also the development of earthen architecture. The seagrass species Posidonia oceanica is employed across the island, indicating a standardization of recipes between sites by manufacturers and builders. © 2021 The Author(s)","Earthen architecture; Experimental analysis; Geoarchaeology; Petrography; Posidonia oceanica; Quantitative stereometry; SEM; Vegetal temper",,,,,,"British School at Athens, BSA; University of Edinburgh, ED","The author wishes to thank the directors of the sites, Dr. Kanta, Prof. Watrous, Prof. Poursat, Dr. Pomadère, and Dr. Devolder for permission to sample and study the materials.

The assessment of earth material performances requires the development of appropriate procedures and standards. This is discussed in particular for the characterisation, hygrothermal behaviour, mechanical behaviour, and durability of earth materials. One other important challenge, since one of the main advantages classically put forward, is its ecological performance, is a proper assessment of life cycle assessment of earth materials, elements and buildings. Moreover, the paper develops why the approach to earthen construction must be different compared to the dominant construction materials, to preserve its ability to contribute to the ecological transition in the construction sector. In particular, the needs of using local soils, with an architectural approach coping with the limits of the materials, and developing an architectural optimisation to preserve the earthen materials multifunctionality rather than selecting a sole property to be maximised. Lastly, the findings of the paper can be used to develop a holistic approach to earthen construction to foster the development of new earthen architecture projects. © The Author(s) 2022.","Earth construction; Earthen architecture; Earthen structures; Literature review; STAR book; TCE 274; Testing procedures",,,,,,,"This work was realized in the framework of the RILEM Technical Committee TCE 274.

This process, developed through almost 5000 years, led to the creation of anthropic landscapes by the construction, maintenance and remodelling of various earthen architectures in the lands locally known as cerritos de indios. In this chapter, the discussion focuses on how earthworks may be regarded as a technology to artificialize inhabited areas and of social territory construction in the lowlands of north-eastern Uruguay. The repeated occupation and construction in the same place, the creation of anthropic relief in specific areas, the generation of anthropogenic patches, the maintenance of ponds and canals, the management of wild resources, cropping practices, and remodelling and monumentalizing events of earthworks are evidence of a progressive domestication of the environment and the creation of a monumental pre-Hispanic landscape with its own particular features. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.","Anthropogenic patches; Earthen mounds; Lowlands archaeology; Prehistoric environment management",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Arechavaleta, J., (1892) Viaje a San Luis; Baeza, J., Díaz, A., Melgar, R.W., Caimi, A., Etcheverry, C., Barone, J., Lucas, S.L., Barboza, E., (1974) Informe Preliminar Sobre Los Cerritos En La Zona De Cañada De Las Pajas, , Anales del V Congreso Nacional de Arqueología.

Its traditional use in vernacular architecture started to disappear in the 19th century, triggered, for example, by upcoming industrial processes to produce construction materials such as burnt bricks, and by making them available as mass building products in course of the time-even for vernacular purpose and at remote places. Following a debate on ecological sustainability during the last decades, the striking advantages of clay as a building material have been rediscovered. However, to support restoration activities and develop new uses, a vital and profound knowledge of properties of the local clay and its traditional local use is required. It is therefore important to increase the knowledge of this unique heritage among the local population and the scientific community. This article aims to present the development of an earth building cadastre (Lehmbaukataster) based on an innovative Citizen Science approach using mobile technologies for activating and integrating the local population with specific local and historical knowledge of earth architecture in the Weinviertel. The results show that citizens can provide essential information to develop a cadastre on earth buildings. Supported by a web application with GPS location facilities, camera, and low entry barriers, citizens can contribute to the expansion of the scientific database. The research results are a strong impetus for the development of strategies for the valorization and protection of cultural heritage. © 2021 by the authors.

Jojutla de Juarez was the most affected locality of Morelos presenting important structural damages or total collapse in the built heritage, being the traditional earthen buildings, made of adobe bricks, the most vulnerable buildings to seismic efforts. Some of the causes which contributed to the poor behaviour of the buildings were the improper handling of the constructive systems and materials, the insufficient resistance of the structures and the problems with the foundations. The adobe houses of Jojutla presented a mixture between the traditional building techniques and industrial materials like concrete, cement and steel; also with irregular heights and plant layouts and inadequate connections between the walls and foundations and roofs, resulting into a higher seismic vulnerability when the earthquake impacted. Also the adobe bricks presented irregularities in its composition and use of additives which resulted in completely different typologies and the loss of the traditional construction techniques. A study was conducted to determine the properties of the remains of the adobe bricks of the houses in Jojutla, considering that the structures were severely damaged and a whole study of the seismic vulnerability would not be convenient due the loss of the physical traditional buildings. The grain size and composition of the adobe samples of the buildings were determined as well as the natural aggregates like straw, sand, and its proportion. A colorimetric study of the adobes and clays was also conducted, analysing the change of colour on account of the aggregates in the bricks. Also the compressive strength of the pieces was tested with two methods: the compression test and the point-load test, in order to obtain the indicative values which could be compared to other patrimonial and vernacular study cases. © Authors 2020.

Traditional earthen architecture perpetuated this scenario until modern times when the discovery of oil brought along deep transformations in the local economy and way of living. This long-lasting tradition has provided the necessary means to cope with the problem of mudbrick structures conservation on the prominent archaeological site of Salūt, in central Oman, where substantial mudbrick walls were discovered, dating to the second half of the second millennium BC and beyond. In fact, exploiting the life-long experience in mud-based masonry of a local mason turned out to be the best (and arguably only) way of consolidating and protecting the ancient structures. This strategy not only is definitely a sustainable one, as only readily accessible and largely available natural materials were employed, but it also helps to revive a locally rooted skill that seriously risks being forgotten due to the lack of interest in younger generations. With this aim in mind, a survey and recording of the local terminology connected with the tools and techniques of mud-based masonry were also carried out. This paper will account for the various stages of the work that led to the final restoration and conservation of the site. The use of different media - pictures, drawings, videos - reflects the comprehensive approach towards this fundamental issue. The recent development of the project included the preparation of mud plasters made following different procedures in order to achieve a better visual impact and a lower static load on the structures. © Authors 2020.

Moreover, vernacular earthen techniques have been largely used for dwellings in rural villages, small towns or informal settlements and represent, nowadays, a huge architectural and cultural heritage of the country. Due the brittle behaviour and low ductility of the building material, characterized by both low tensile and bending strength, earth constructions show high seismic vulnerability; nevertheless, though Colombian earthquake hazard level is considered very high, current national seismic building regulations do not include any reference to earthen architecture. Seismic failure mechanisms most frequently occurring to masonry architecture, as adobe buildings rehabilitation techniques and seismic behaviour improvement practices, have been widely published. This paper aims to investigate possible causes associated to failure mechanisms due to common adobe building practices in Colombia and intervention strategies, to be eventually implemented in order to reduce risks. The paper focuses on strategies and technologies for seismic retrofitting, while evaluating their effectiveness and feasibility through 'sustainability' indicators, based on literature quantitative and qualitative data, and strictly related to rural Colombian economic, social and environmental conditions, where available resources are scarce and labour often not qualified. © Authors 2020.

It starts by presenting the variety of earth building techniques focusing on the common points between all of them. It then explains these particularities which are linked to the affinity with water of the earthen material and construction. This leads to a specific hygrothermal and mechanical behavior of the materials and structures. The impact of these characteristics on building design is given. A full discussion of the case of earth stabilization is then included to show their relationship with the gain (or loss) obtained in the framework of the sustainability. By the end of the chapter, an assessment of the hygrothermal, mechanical, and durability performance is proposed. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

Excavations at the newly discovered rural archaeological site of Qaratəpə have so far revealed two phases of use: a burial ground dating to the 12th century a.d. and an unusually large earthen structure burnt in a catastrophic fire. Owing to the rapid abandonment of this building, whole ceramic and glass vessels were recovered from the fill of one of the rooms. The presence of charred seeds and roof timbers allowed for the acquisition of radiocarbon dates for the construction and abandonment of the building, placing the latter at the end of the 6th century a.d. These findings reveal crucial clues as to the transformation of the rural zone prior to the expansion of Islam, and a unique material assemblage dating from this period. © 2018, © Trustees of Boston University 2018.","Caucasus; earthen architecture; Islamic archaeology; late Antiquity; radiocarbon",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Alizadeh, K., Ultan Qalasi: A Fortified Site in the Sasanian Borderlands (2011) Iran, 49, pp. 55-77; Babaev, I.A., Antichnaia Cherepitsa Kavkazskoi Albanii (1974) Sovietskaia Arkheologia, (2), pp. 48-59; Babaev, I.A., Issledovaniia Obshchestvennogo Zdaniia Vtoroǐ Poloviny I v. do I v. n. e. na Gorodishche Kabala (1977) Sovietskaia Arkheologia, 1977 (4), pp. 217-227; Babaev, I.A., Eminli, J.T., The Archaeological Excavation Report of the Selbir Site, Gabala, 2010 (2012) Reports of the Gabala Archaeological Expedition 2005-2010, pp. 225-282. , Najafova I.M., Zeynalova I., Young K.O., Jongil K., Jeogyon S., (eds), Baku, Azerbaijan: CBS Publishing House, and, In, edited by; (1916) The Origins of the Islamic State (Kitāb Futūḥ al-Buldān), , 1: New York: Columbia University,.

A survey was conducted in a city experiment consisting of the revalorization of an earthen-based building technique called compressed and stabilized earth blocks (CSEB). This experiment has been conducted by the Auroville Earth Institute team (AVEI) for over 25 years and seeks to inform individuals of the usefulness of this environmental friendly building material. It proposes CSEB products as an alternative to conventional materials. In this context AVEI promotes dwellings constructed entirely with CSEB. For the primary conclusion, the negative side of the attitudes toward earthen architecture is too complex to grasp and it is explained by the relationship between the different attitudes toward building materials and buildings. Comparisons with attitudes toward fired brick architecture result in indicators that could benefit CSEB revalorization projects. These results lead to research regarding attitudes toward building materials and their wide-ranging uses. © 2017 WIT Press.","Attitudes toward building materials; Attitudes toward earthen architecture; Attitudes toward homes",,,,,,"Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Scientifique, MESRS","This study was supported by the Ministère de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Scientifique in Algeria 174/PNE 2014.",,,,,,,,,,"Steg, L., Van Den Berg, A.E., De Groot, J.I.M., (2013) Environmental Psychology: An Introduction, pp. 2-11. , BPS Blackwell: Oxford; Hall, M.R., Lindsay, R., Krayenhoff, M., (2012) Modern Earth Buildings Materials, Engineering, Construction and Applications, p. 5. , Woodhead: Oxford, Cambridge, Philadelphia & New Delhi; Minke, G., (2006) Building with Earth, Design and Technology of A Sustainable Architecture, , Birkhäuser: Basel; https://www.wmf.org/content/hassan-fathys-newgourna-past-present-future/, Accessed on: 13 Mar. 2016; (2011) New Gourna Village; Conservation and Community, , World Monuments Fund.

The study and parameterization of traditional earthen architecture is an increasingly promising research field, in order to assess the sustainability, the durability and the long-term performance of the masonry structures. Several examples of the use of lime-stabilized clay-based binders may be found in the traditional and historic architecture of the Western cultures, besides its widespread use in the traditional architecture of developing countries. In this contribution, three case studies of historic and archaeological Italian masonry structures employing mixtures of lime and soil as binding materials are reported, built in a wide timespan ranging between the VI and the XIII Century A.D.. The study is focused on the chemical and mineralogical characterization of the raw materials employed and in the interpretation of their reaction processes, especially the degree of pozzolanic reaction between lime and the reactive component of the clay fraction. The excellent textural characteristics and ultimate performance of several of the analyzed materials clearly demonstrated their potential, even when employed in temperate climates, opening new perspectives in the field of eco-sustainable binders. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London.",,"Architecture; Binders; Developing countries; Historic preservation; Lime; Mortar; Sustainable development; Architectural material; Earthen architectures; Lime-stabilized clay; Long term performance; Mineralogical characterization; Reactive components; Textural characteristic; Traditional architecture; Brick",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Ashby, M.F., (2013) Materials and the Environment, , Amsterdam: Elsevier; Bensted, J., Barnes, P., (2002) Structure and Performance of Cements, , London: Spon Press; Bertagnin, M., Earthen architecture in Italy: Types, technologies and building cultures (2000) In, 8Th International Conference on Study and Conservation of Earthen Architecture, , Torquay: English Heritage /ICOMOS Preprints; Boriani, A., Burlini, L., Caironi, V., Giobbi Origoni, E., Sassi, A., Sesana, E., Geological and petrological studies on the hercynian plutonism of Serie dei Laghi—geological map of its occurrence between Valsesia and Lago Maggiore (N-Italy) (1988) Rendiconti Della Societa Italiana Di Mineralogia E Petrologia, 43 (2), pp. 367-384; Braga, G.P., Ragni, U., (1969) Note Illustrative Della Carta Geologica d’Italia Alla Scala 1:100000—Fogli 44 E 58 Novara-Mortara, , Ercolano: Poligrafica e Cartevalori; Braga, G.P., Carloni, G.C., Colantoni, P., (1971) Note Illustrative Della Carta Geologica d’Italia Alla Scala 1:100000—Fogli 4C-13 Monte Cavallino-Ampezzo, , Roma: Nuova Tecnica Grafica; Burton, E.A., Walter, L.M., Relative precipitation rates of aragonite and Mg calcite from seawater: Temperature or carbonate ion control?

These murals are one of the oldest examples of this artistic expression in the Andean area and American continent (4000 BP). Analyses have given indications on the materials and techniques used by the first painters, ancestors of a long pictorial tradition. Results: Thanks to an archaeometric approach, combining observations and analysis (Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)), it was possible to characterize the colorant materials used in the two constructive sampled phases. These materials are mineral pigments, iron oxides, clays and natural earth, mixed in order to create a wide chromatic scale. Conclusions: Through this research we were able to obtain the first analytical data concerning such ancient mural paintings.

The island possesses numerous finds, dating back to periods ranging from pre-history to the Hellenistic-Roman age, during which adobe was a widespread technique. The archaeological field had been the only one investigated, also due to the fact that more recent evidence had shown that the use of earth as a principal element in wall-building was unknown in Sicily. Recently, traces of adobe have been discovered in the historical centre of Cefalù, on the northern coast of Sicily; these few scraps are to be found in residential buildings made primarily of stone.

This type of research will be useful to promote again the use in the Turin area of these construction techniques, evidence of skills and abilities of people to take advantage of the local environmental resources. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London, UK.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Baglioni, E., The mineralogical and mechanical characteristics of the earth utilised in the earthen buildings sited in the Drâa Valley (Morocco) (2010) Acte de RIPAM 2, 2eme partie, (20), pp. 222-231. , Minbar Al Jamia Ed; Barosso, L., Constructions en terre crue dans la region turinoise (1993) 7th International Conference on the Study and Conservation of Earthen Architecture, pp. 43-48. , (Silves, Portogallo, 24-29 october 1993), Lisbona: DGEMN; Briccoli Bati, S., Considerations on methods to evaluate the compressive strength of earth building materials (2011) Proceedings of Terra 2008: The 10th International Conference on the Study and Conservation of Earthen Architectural Heritage, , Bamako, 1-6 February 2008, Hong Kong: Getty Pubblications; Comba, R., L’insediamento rurale fra medioevo ed età moderna, in Comoli Mandracci, V (1988) Piemonte, , Bari-Napoli: Laterza; Drdácký, M., Standardization of peeling tests for assessing the cohesion and consolidation characteristics of historic stone surfaces (2012) Materials and Structures, 45 (4), pp. 505-520; Fratini, F., The archaeometric analysis of building materials (2009) In Earthen Domes and Habitats: Villages of Northern Syria, an architectural tradition, , shared by East and West; Fratini, F., The Earth in the architecture of the Historical Centre of Lamezia Terme (Italy): Characterisation for the restoration (2011) Applied Clay Science, 53, pp. 509-516; Fratini, F., Earthen domes in the Aleppo region (Syria): Materials and building techniques (2012) Congress Proceedings Domes in the World, , Florence, March 19-23, 2012, G.

For which, as a low-embodied carbon construction material, earth represents an opportunity. However, earth material is still barely used in mainstream construction. This paper aims to assess what are the current knowledge about factors (barriers and opportunities) affecting the use of earthen architecture through a systematic search and review of the literature. The analysis of the data was conducted by classifying the factors into five categories, economical, organizational, political, social, and technical. The results differ, depending on the context, high/low-income country and stabilized/unstabilized earth. The data is analysed, breaking down some drivers, barriers and opportunities. Results show there is a lack of literature in the field. The paper also provides key parameters to consider for future research to promote earthen construction and to fill the knowledge gap. Additionally, two main new areas of research should be developed, (i) to design appropriate training supports for the education of all the stakeholders, (ii) to clarify how earthen architecture is related to the circular economy and how it can help to preserve natural resources and foster the shift to a circular economy of the construction industry. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.","alternative materials; architecture; barriers; drivers; Earth construction; low-carbon materials","Architecture; Carbon; Climate change; Search engines; Alternative materials; Barrier; Carbon material; Circular economy; Driver; Earth construction; Earth materials; Earthen architectures; Low carbon; Low-carbon material; Construction industry",,,,,"Horizon 2020 Framework Programme, H2020: 801604","This work was supported by Horizon 2020 Framework Programme [801604].",,,,,,,,,,"Abu-Hammad, N.O., Architectural mud brick prototypes as efficient and sustainable shelters for the Low-income group in Jordan (2011) Jordan Journal of Civil Engineering, 5 (1), pp. 82-88; Adegun, O.B., Adedeji, Y.M.D., Review of economic and environmental benefits of earthen materials for housing in Africa (2017) Frontiers of Architectural Research, 6 (4), pp. 519-528; Adeniyi, S.M., Mohamed, S.M., Investigating potential green materials to improve cost effectiveness for low-cost building construction in Nigeria (2019) International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering, 8 (1), pp. 270-274; Allwood, J.M., Cullen, J.M., (2012) Sustainable materials.

It aims to explore the main contributions that have enhanced vernacular heritage and earthen architecture as specific domains, from pioneering public awareness essays to institutional expertise guidelines. Finally, in addition to the literature review process, this paper considers the recent corpus of recommendations from conservation management reference institutions, the updating of the operative problematic of earthen vernacular built heritage, and the relevance of local community involvement in facing increasing challenges. © 2022, The Author(s).","Conservation; Earthen architecture; Vernacular heritage",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Achenza, M., Cadinu, M., Correia, M., Serra, A., (2006) Houses and cities built with earth: Conservation, significance and urban quality, , Argumentum, Italia; Lectures A web map for Italian earthen architecture (2015) In Earthen Architecture: Past, Present and Future, , C.

Earthen architecture is usually built close to the coast or to rivers and placed in sandy ground. The impact of rising damp is a general problem and efflorescences are a common cause of damage decay. This problem was studied in a building with two types of earthen construction, adobe masonry walls and formed masonry walls. The aim of this research was to characterise the conditions for the appearance and phase transitions of thénardite and mirabilite, and determine how to prevent progression of salt effects in the two types of wall to support future conservation measures. Laboratory capillarity and porosimetry tests with dolomitic air lime mortar and hygrothermal monitoring were pursued along with in situ tests. Visual assessment showed that the progression of salts depends on the composition of the earthen materials. To understand these differences, all crystalline solid phases were analysed by powder X-ray diffraction, and building interior hygrothermal conditions were monitored. An investigation into the influence of surface lime water painting and sacrificial mortar application on the crystallisation of sodium sulfates concluded that these also depend on the wall's composition. Data allowed us to conclude that inside the building the temperature and humidity [relative humidity (RH = 100 pw/p°w > 70)] conditions led to the adobe breakdown by the fast conversion from thénardite to mirabilite. Therefore, contact with wet atmospheres should be avoided and interior hygrothermal conditions should be controlled. Laboratory and in situ tests showed that the environmental conditions of the spaces had effects on the results. The results contribute to understanding of the salt progression and pattern of decay, as well as supporting future recommendations for building conservation, based on the identification of environmental conditions proper to their occurrence.

Characterising earth-based structures and finishing elements is part of this mission, especially at a time when earthen architecture is the subject of renewed interest due to its many advantages, particularly in terms of sustainability. This paper considers a set of historical earthen houses built during the first phase of the coffee economy (1820-1880) in the middle Paraíba do Sul River valley, in southeastern Brazil. Physical (colour and texture) and chemical (FTIR, TGA, XRF, and XRD) analyses performed on a large set of mortar and local soil samples collected in the region formed the basis for discussing possible soil selection criteria as raw materials, texture solutions, and the stabilisation strategy of the final product. This last aspect implied the addition of small quantities of lime, in the case of external renders and more sporadically in plasters, without the use of fibres or organic additives. Chemical data and historical sources suggest that the raw materials used for this purpose were probably brought to the region from coastal areas. © 2022, UNIV SAOPAULO.

Historically, floods have posed a threat to this cultural heritage. Floods have often led to the loss of traditional monuments and buildings, as well as entire settlements. At present, climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of flood events, raising the risk of disappearance of built earthen architectural heritage. The effects of floods on these constructions are mostly manifested as damage to the superstructures. However, visible structural damage is often related to geotechnical problems triggered by flooding. Generally, earthen architecture is considered very vulnerable to the action of water due to the hygroscopic nature of the materials that constitute it. Nevertheless, many of these buildings have come to the present day, resisting the action of water, thanks to a process of adaptation and improvement carried out by humanity over the centuries. Against this background, the present study aims to analyse the impact of floods on earthen architectural heritage, through the development of a qualitative methodology to assess flood vulnerability of earthen structures. Through case studies in the Iberian Peninsula, visible damage to earthen constructions related to the superstructure-soil interaction and triggered by floods is analyzed, in order to highlight the vulnerabilities and resilience resources of this cultural heritage. Finally, strategies for flood risk mitigation and conservation criteria for earthen architectural heritage are proposed. © 2022 the Author(s).",,"Architecture; Climate change; Damage detection; Structural analysis; Architectural heritage; Cultural heritages; Damage assessments; Earthen architectures; Flood event; Flood vulnerabilities; Iberian Peninsula; Portugal; Structural damages; Vulnerability assessments; Floods",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Alberola Romá, A., Riadas, inundaciones y desastres en el sur valenciano a finales del siglo XVIII (2010) Papeles De Geografía, 5152, pp. 23-32; Beckett, C.T.S., Augarde, C.E., Easton, D., Easton, T., Strength characterisation of soil-based construction materials (2018) Geotechnique, 68 (5), pp. 400-409; Beckett, C.T.S., Jaquin, P.A., Morel, J.C., Weathering the storm:Aframework to assess the resistance of earthen structures to water damage (2020) Construction and Building Materials, p. 242; Birkmann, J., Cardona, O.D., Carreño, M.L., Barbat, A.H., Pelling, M., Schneiderbauer, S., Kienberger, S., Andwelle, T., Framing vulnerability, risk and societal responses: The MOVE framework (2013) Natural Hazards, 67, pp. 193-211; Bui, Q.B., Morel, J.C., Hans, S., Walker, P., Effect of moisture content on the mechanical characteristics of rammed earth (2014) Construction and Building Materials, 54, pp. 163-169; Camarasa-Belmonte, A.M., Soriano-García, J., Flood risk assessment and mapping in peri-urban Mediterranean environments using hydrogeomorphology.

The first constructions arise around 100 BC, on a paleodune top rising slightly above the surrounding alluvial terraces of the Jamapa river; then it grows into a 15-ha monumental compound. The total construction volume reaches 250,000 m3, all made of earth, surrounded by large artificial water pounds (reservoirs). To understand the kind of components found in the structures and their provenance, we compare the micromorphological features of the materials from the earthen constructions with the sediments and paleosols located in the surrounding areas. Samples were taken from the fills of three first building stages, as well as from a natural soil profile and the natural paleosol horizons found beneath the structures. Micromorphological features found in fills permit to establish the correlation between them and their parent material. The fills from the first stage of construction have fragments of a Btb horizon, mixed with an A horizon, compacted and crushed, in which abundant artifacts are identified. However, these artifacts were not intentionally incorporated to the fills, but had been accumulated on the pre-occupation A horizon as residential and agriculture trash. Particular attention was paid to a gley material occurring in the third building stage, that was believed to come from the sediments accumulated in the original borrow pits transformed into water reservoirs, enclosing the main architectural compound. These reservoir fills share properties of the natural sediments and paleosols but transformed by the waterlogging conditions. In consequence, these materials are interpreted as a case of anthropogenic pedogenesis, where the gley micromorphology indicates waterlogging conditions, but in artificially made reservoirs, as they do not have dark organic sediments that would result of the vegetation typical of a natural pond in a humid tropical environment. © 2022, Boletin de la Sociedad Geologica Mexicana.

It compares a soil sample, a sample from a construction fill and a sample of a soil mixture used for mud-brick and facing, resulting from different manufacturing steps. The purpose is to identify the soil features that remain and those that are transformed in the process. This is of interest both to geologists, who encounter anthropically modified soils, and archaeologists interested in understanding the provenance of the raw materials and the manufacturing processes. In contrast to previous research based predominantly on earthen architecture from Europe and the Near East, this study is the first comparative analysis of Mesoamerican sites, where earthen construction developed independently from the Old World, using volcanic soils developed in a range of tropical environments. The results show that similar building techniques existed in different environments, that the non-expansive clays and fine fraction derived from volcanic deposits may have presented advantages for construction, while some features reflect the addition of mineral or vegetal temper to improve the mechanical properties of some soils. © 2022, Boletin de la Sociedad Geologica Mexicana.

Both at monumental and vernacular level, this architecture has adapted to the diversity of the territory, the different geographies and climates, the variety of materials available and the cultural diversity which have led to a great wealth of constructive variants of this architecture. The RISK-Terra Project was born in this context, funded by the Spanish Ministry for Science, Innovation and Universities, aiming to contribute to the study of this heritage scientifically researching and analysing the natural, social and anthropic threats to earthen vernacular structures, as well as deterioration mechanisms and transformation dynamics currently observed in this type of architecture in the Iberian Peninsula. The research presented in this text has been carried out within the framework of the RISK-Terra Project, with the main objective of developing an analysis tool for application to any element of traditional architecture or earthen vernacular architecture, assessing the degree of vulnerability to the sudden action or continued presence of natural risks (earthquakes, floods, extreme weather events). © 2021 Taylor & Francis.","Earthen architecture; Iberian Peninsula; natural risks; vulnerability","Deterioration; Risk assessment; Analysis tools; Architectural heritage; Cultural diversity; Cultural heritages; Deterioration mechanism; Earthen architectures; Earthen vernacular architectures; Iberian Peninsula; Natural risks; Vulnerability; Architecture; cultural heritage; monument; vernacular architecture; vulnerability; Iberian Peninsula",,,,,"RTI2018-095302-B-I00","The study presented in this article has been developes as a part of the research project “Earthen architecture in the Iberian Península: study of natural, social and anthropic risks and strategies to improve resilience.

The targeted excavations carried out within the urban center of Kutaisi provide new information regarding earthen architectural practices, raw material procurement, and defensive structures that characterized the area in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages. The three sites identified within the Kutaisi urban area, Gabashvili, Dateshidze, and Bagrati, are analyzed in detail to provide fresh insights on settlement structure and typology. They also present distinctive vernacular architectural traditions that make the role of Kutaisi in the region essential to understanding Late Bronze/Early Iron Age building practices, their continuity over time, and their environmental sustainability. © 2021 The Author(s).

These include the well-known manuscripts of Timbuktu (Tombouctou) as well as architecture, languages, beads, textiles, costumes and other cultural objects. Immaterial heritage, such as oral history, traditional music, instruments and dance, is also affected. In the northwestern part of Africa, the so-called Sahel-Sahara region, earthen architecture has played an important role in cultural identity and has been a key means of community establishment. This architectural heritage includes a wide variety of creations ranging from simple houses, granaries, and palaces to religious buildings, urban centres, cultural landscapes and archaeological sites. By studying northwestern African cultural heritage and cultural exchanges during trans-Saharan trade, we can benefit from traditional knowledge and use these teachings to build a sustainable knowledge system for earthen architecture conservation. This work is urgent since these structures are in danger of being lost, destroyed, badly conserved, or not documented. The aim of this research is to point out, through an anthropological approach, the importance of local community involvement in the conservation process. This research is based on a comparative study of different earthen architecture conservation spaces within the abovementioned region that have been important and were influenced by cultural exchanges during trans-Saharan trade. In these historical towns, some architectural heritage sites have been abandoned and are in ruins, while others have been preserved solely as tourist attractions. In this paper, I introduce the case of Djenné to share our research approach. This paper provides insight into earthen architecture conservation issues and how local communities have used tangible and intangible methods to preserve cultural heritage. © 2021, The Author(s).","Conservation; Djenné; Earthen architecture; Intangible; Mali; Tangible",,,,,,"United States Agency for International Development, USAID; British Library; European Commission, EC","Concerning the preservation of earthen architecture, Djenné, in the time of abundant tourism, received many projects from foreign institutions, such as the European Union (EU) and other foreign government agencies and institutions. These institutions constructed 4 model projects: the Heritage House of Djenné (Maison du Patrimoine) (2014–2015) by ACROTERRE and Djenné Patrimoine; the Djenné Museum (2013–2014) by the European Union; the House of Craftsmen of Djenné (2014) by the Kingdom of Denmark; and the Djenné manuscripts library (2007) by European Community Funds, USAID and the US Embassy, with manuscript conservation activities supported by the British Library. Since their delivery, the 4 projects in earthen architecture, whose construction was sometimes contested—for example, because the Djenné Museum by a Malian architect was in concrete blocks covered by earthen mortar—have become nonfunctional, with the exception of the manuscripts library.",,,,,,,,,,"Brunet-Jailly, J., (1999) Djenné: D’hier à demain, , Edition Donniya, Bamako; Brunet-Jailly, J., Scherrer, O., Protecting architectural heritage in Djenné: A civil society point of view (2017) J African Cultural Heritage Studies, 1 (1), pp. 72-94; Naïma, C.-C., (2007); Villes anciennes de Djenné (2018) Plan De Gestion Et De Conservation., pp. 2018-2022; Feilden, B.M., Jokilehto, J., (1998) Management guidelines for world cultural heritage sites, , ICCROM, Rome; (1995) And Musée National Du Mali, , Djenné, il ya cent ans, Amsterdam, KIT Publications; (1994) The Nara Document of Authenticity, , https://www.icomos.org/charters/nara-e.pdf; Joffroy, T., Réhabilitation et revitalisation de la Maison des jeunes (2011) Rapport Final Du Projet financé Par Le Gouvernement Italien Dans Le Cadre De WHEAP (Programme Architecture De Terre Du Patrimoine Mondial) Et Centre Du Patrimoine Mondial De l’UNESCO réalisé En Partenariat Avec La Mission Culturelle De Djenné, , Villefontaine, CRAterre-ENSAG; Jokilehto, J., (2011) A history of architectural conservation, , Routledge, New York; Joy, C.L., Enchanting Town of Mud: The Politics of Heritage in Djenné, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Mali (2008) Phd Thesis Submitted for University College London; Muhammad, J., Rapport de mission: Villes anciennes de Djenné-Mali, Mission du 26 juin au 06 juillet (2010) Rome: La Cooperazione Allo Sviluppo, Ministero Degli Affari Esteri, , https://whc.unesco.org/uploads/activities/documents/activity-21-16.pdf, Accessed 4 May 2021; Siriman, D., Wang, Y., The survival of earthen architecture in Malian Sahel, case study: The Historic City of Djenné (2021) Current Urban Studies, 2021 (9), pp. 83-106; Raoul, S., (1984) The Great Mosque at Djenné: Its Impact Today as a Model, , https://jstor.org/stable/10.2307/al.ch.document.sip200048, Accessed 10 May 2021; UNESCO, World Heritage Centre, about Mali World Heritage, , https://whc.unesco.org/en/statesparties/ml/, (last visited 14/11/2021); UNESCO World Heritage Centre Mali: Properties Inscribed on the World Heritage List, , https://whc.unesco.org/en/statesparties/ml; Steven, and Paulius Jurčys. 2012. ‘Heritage and societies: Toward the 20th anniversary of the Nara document and beyond’ conference report Journal of Japanese Law, 34, pp. 309-316; ","Sacko, O.; Graduate School of Architecture, 137 Kino-cho, Iwakura, Sakyo-ku, Japan; email: osacko@kyoto-seika.ac.jp",,,"Springer Science and Business Media B.V.",,,,,20963041,,,,"English","Built Herit.",Article,"Final","All Open Access, Gold",Scopus,2-s2.0-85122063820 "Khtou O., Aalil I., Aboussaleh M., Wardi F.Z.E.L.","57353215900;57191089141;6506918479;57353444100;","Mechanical analysis of fiber reinforced adobe",2021,"Civil Engineering and Architecture","9","7",,"2160","2168",,1,"10.13189/cea.2021.090705","https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85119908902&doi=10.13189%2fcea.2021.090705&partnerID=40&md5=dd9706feb0c0e112dd985f8685c71e88","Laboratory of Sciences and Engineering, ENSAM, Moulay Ismail University, Meknes, 50000, Morocco; EMDD_CERNE2D, Mohammed V University, EST, Sale, 11000, Morocco","Khtou, O., Laboratory of Sciences and Engineering, ENSAM, Moulay Ismail University, Meknes, 50000, Morocco; Aalil, I., Laboratory of Sciences and Engineering, ENSAM, Moulay Ismail University, Meknes, 50000, Morocco; Aboussaleh, M., Laboratory of Sciences and Engineering, ENSAM, Moulay Ismail University, Meknes, 50000, Morocco; Wardi, F.Z.E.L., EMDD_CERNE2D, Mohammed V University, EST, Sale, 11000, Morocco","The south-east of the kingdom of Morocco, including the Tinejdad region at the south-east, has a remarkable earthen architecture. It is built by combining two techniques, that of rammed earth and that of adobe. This work is carried out with the aim of preserving and developing this ancestral know-how. The study is initially a characterization of the soil used for earthen construction in the region; the grain size and plasticity of the soil showed that it was not very clayey and moderately plastic (clayey sand) and it was suitable for earthen construction. The characterization also concerned the fibers traditionally used, namely wheat straw and barley straw. Secondly, the study focuses on the influence of different fibers, those mentioned above as well as sawdust and the crushing of barley straw on the mechanical characteristics of adobe in relation to its compressive strength and bending strength. Several fiber mass ratios were studied, and an improvement in compressive strength and bending strength was observed for the different fibers. The fibers have also provided a great improvement in the ductility of the adobe and a decrease in the modulus of elasticity. The optimal mass ratio of the fibers was 2% for the different fibers studied. © 2021 by authors, all rights reserved.","Adobe; Ductility; Elasticity; Fiber Reinforcement; Raw Earth; Straw; Strength",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Anger, R., Fontaine, L., (2009) Bâtir en terre: du grain de sable à l’architecture, , Editions Belin, Paris; Gil Piqueras, M.

To complete the study, we constructed 20 adobe test walls. Using a portable rain simulator, each wall was subjected to two rainfall experiments: high-intensity rainfall simulations (rain intensity variable) and low-intensity rainfall simulations (rain event number variable). Wall-degradation metrics (material loss, volume loss, affected surface area, and cavity depth) were calculated for each wall using pre- and post-simulation LiDAR scans. Internal wall moisture was also measured with embedded volumetric water content sensors. In the high-intensity experiment, the lines of best-fit for material loss and affected surface area show that surface erosion increases with rain intensity, while cavity depth remains consistent. Linear models and post-hoc tests indicate material loss and affected surface area is significantly different for each high-intensity rainfall treatment. Furthermore, the interior of each wall remained relatively dry demonstrating that rain intensity is not a strong predictor of interior wall moisture. In the low-intensity rainfall experiment, the rainfall simulations yielded statistically similar erosion and interior wall moisture results. Greater infiltration occurred under low-intensity long-duration rain conditions, while greater surficial damage occurred under high-intensity rain conditions. In conclusion, changing weather regimes are bringing more intense rainfall events to the arid American Southwest. This study suggests that more frequent high intensity rain events will cause increasing damage to adobe walls. Resource managers will need to adapt current management strategies to account for this change. © 2021, The Author(s).","Adobe; Climate change; Earthen architecture; Erosion; Historic; National Park Service; Rain intensity; Tumacácori National Historical Site",,,,,,"U.S. Department of Agriculture, USDA; National Park Service, NPS: P18AS00006; Agricultural Research Service, ARS; National Center for Preservation Technology and Training, NCPTT","This project is a testament to the power of collaboration.

Other challenges of a social nature simultaneously arise and are related, among other factors, to the participation of local communities and the actions of different institutional actors. Understanding these phenomena has generally been approached from perspectives that take technical considerations and social dynamics as separate fields. The current global context has resulted in an acceleration of changes in these dynamics, in terms of both techniques and management models, giving rise to the need to develop comprehensive conceptual and methodological approaches through which these challenges should be addressed jointly by recombining the technical and the social. This paper will analyse the main problems affecting vernacular architectures in three communities in northern Argentina, where earthen techniques have been very relevant. We will reflect on various potentially useful theoretical frameworks, incorporating concepts from the anthropology of technology and methodological approaches from an ethnography of conservation as a way to work with multiple ontologies. © 2021, The Author(s).","Anthropology of techniques; Heritage ethnography; Vernacular architecture",,,,,,,"The authors would like to thank all the communities involved in the research work carried out and the authorities of the Secretariat of Culture of the province of Jujuy, particularly the architect Valentina Millón.",,,,,,,,,,"Alameda, J., (1935) Argentina Católica [Argentina Catholic], , Benedicti, Bue Aires; Alonso González, P., Patrimonio y Ontologías múltiples: hacia la coproducción del patrimonio cultural [Heritage and multiple ontologies: Towards the co-production of cultural heritage] (2015) Patrimonio y Multivocalidad Teoría, práctica y experiencias en torno a la construcción del conocimiento en Patrimonio [Heritage and multivocality theory, practice and experiences around the construction of knowledge in heritage], pp. 179-198. , Gianotti García Camila, Barreiro Martínez David, Vienni Baptista Bianca, (eds), Editorial Universitaria, Montevideo; Angelo, D., (2010) The Compulsive Construction of Heritage: Material Culture and Identity at the Dawn of the 21St Century in Northwestern Argentina, , PhD Thesis; Angelo, D., Abriendo el debate en torno a patrimonio en Chungara [Opening the heritage debate in Chungara] (2014) Chungara, Revista de Antropología Chilena, 46 (2), pp. 173-176; Barada, J., Tomasi, J., (Dis)continuidades constructivas en la restauración del patrimonio en tierra del noroeste argentino [Constructive (dis)continuities in the restoration of heritage on land in north-western Argentina] (2020) Loggia.

Nevertheless, it is a fragile heritage, which needs continuous maintenance. To encourage the preservation of such evidence of building techniques, an experimental campaign aimed at the development and evaluation of the performances of protective earthen plasters was undertaken. The durability of the plasters was improved through the addition of different additives, some of them traditional (such as lime and gypsum) and others innovative (geopolymers, enzymes), and resulting from industrial wastes (cement kiln dust). These additives have been selected considering low production costs and a reduced environmental impact, to improve the sustainability of the interventions. The performances of the earthen plasters in terms of efficacy (resistance to water erosion, water absorption, drilling, thermo-hygrometric cycles) and compatibility (changes in color and water vapor permeability) have been evaluated. Good performances were obtained by the different mixtures and, in particular, by those stabilized with gypsum. The results of this experimentation could find a useful application in the preservation of both ancient and new earthen built heritage. © 2021 by the authors.

Several of these ancient structures are classified as protected earthen heritages, some of which were built with the mud bricks technique and suffer significant damages due to Saharan climate conditions, the carelessness of individuals, besides the lack of knowledge on the behavior of these structures. This study aims to contribute to a better understanding. In this context, the physical and mechanical characteristics of earth concrete were examined, with different combinations of Portland cement and quicklime as stabilizers. The experimental results show that stabilization has positively affected the earth concrete's behavior, which allowed better improvement of both compressive and bending strengths, as well as a better reduction in shrinkage by using Portland cement. In contrast, capillary water absorption and water absorption by immersion were well enhanced by adding quicklime.

In order to facilitate their identification and interpretation, the variants in this study have been assorted into constructive groups with similar characteristics. In the discussion chapter, the most common kinds of timber structure and earthen infilling are highlighted, and the way in which they are usually combined is assessed. Conclusions reflect on how the combination of opportunity and adaptation to the context – characteristics essential to vernacular constructions – shed light on a wide range of alternative techniques in this architecture. This article further expands on the existing information on mixed walls using earth and timber, essential to propose studies and projects aiming to protect, retrofit and consolidate this type of architecture in Spain and other countries. © 2021 CSIC.

Modern earthen construction is alive and well, and is spread over an enormous geographical area. This technique utilizes various earthen materials and numerous methods, and features many benefits for both construction in general and buildings in particular. Najran, a city located in the south of Saudi Arabia, is distinguished by its heritage of earthen architecture, which displays many advantages and a marvelous variety of types and exterior designs. Many weaknesses of the material, however, along with a lack of knowledge and rapid development have caused the uplifting and destruction of many of Najran’s mud and heritage buildings during the last few generations. Not all soil types are suitable for every building need. Soil specification is thus very important in order to ensure that the materials used in construction meet all requirements. The main goal of this study was to invistegate the suitability of local soils for the earthen building construction. Thus, available local materials of common quality were taken from local sites in Najran. Laboratory experimentation and testing was then performed to determine the properties of those materials. The results showed that local soil properties are suitable for using in the earthen block construction since they satisified the specifications. The results were then recorded for use in further studies, as well as to explore heritage building and rehabilitation, and to improve modern earthen building materials and techniques. © 2021 Tech Science Press.

Though water is previously considered to be a threat to earthen heritage sites, artificial dew is showing potential in relic preservation. A model of dew prediction on earthen sites will be essential for developing preventive protection methods, but studies of dew formation processes on relics are limited. In this study, a two parameter model is proposed. It makes approximations according to the features of earthen heritage sites, assuming that a thin and steady air layer exists close to the air–solid interface. This semi-theoretical model was based on calculations of the mass transfer process in the air layer, and was validated by simulations of laboratory experiments (R > 0.9) as well as field experiments. Additionally, a numerical simulation, performed by the commercial software COMSOL, confirmed that the difference between fitting parameter δ and the thickness of assumed mass transfer field was not significant. This model will be helpful in developing automatic environmental control systems for stabilizing water and soluble salts, thus enhancing preventive protection of earthen heritage sites. © 2020 by the authors.

These architecures, which correspond mostly to colonial and republican times, have presented damage of different severity over time, associated with both environmental and anthropic factors, including conservation actions. Since the first half of the twentieth century, different institutions carried out systematic conservation projects on this heritage using foreign techniques and materials, which instead of favoring their consolidation caused new damages. This paper sets out to recognize which are the usual damages in this architectural heritage, considering their mechanisms of degradation, and observing the implications of the interventions carried. Finally, based on the working experience in the area, the recommendations from different researches and international standards, it will be possible to recognize potential forms of intervention consistent with these technologies and with the corpus of local knowledge. This paper will focus in different case studies in the Puna and Quebrada de Humahuaca, based on field and laboratory research carried out in recent years, specifically focused on the study of current and historical earthen constructive technologies. As part of these researches, there were made various diagnoses and intervention proposals that will also be included in this article. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.","Earthen construction; Local knowledge; Structural consolidation",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Herr, C., Rolón, G., Registro documental e intervención patrimonial en la arquitectura religiosa de la provincia de Jujuy.

The reason is the increasing cost of construction materials due to energy crises, poor economic conditions, and sometimes the love of people toward earthen architecture culture. The world will prefer low energy alternatives to conventional construction. Some alternatives regarding conventional construction like mud block masonry are part of this research paper to avoid shrinking natural resources and take control of the energy crisis. This research work focuses on the compressive strength of the mud block by stabilizing it with additives like waste gypsum. The study also intended to investigate the rapid hardening of the masonry block. Finally, study the morphology of the stabilized blocks by using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDXMA). This research found that the compressive strength of waste gypsum-stabilized mud block at 7 days and 14 days increases with the increasing rate of waste gypsum from 0 to 20%. This research will help the poor community by reducing the economy and energy consumed in the construction of houses. Besides, this research will play a role by minimizing the consumption of natural resources, encourage people to reuse waste gypsum in construction without compromising on environmental pollution. © 2020, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals.","Compressive strength; EDAX; SEM; Stability; Waste gypsum",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"(2008) Habitat, U.N., The state of the world’s cities report, p. 2008. , https://www.un.org/ruleoflaw/files/Unhabitat_Report2634_alt.pdf, UN Habitat, Nairobi; Dethier, J., (1986) Des Architectures De Terre.

We propose and validate a straightforward support vector machine (SVM)-based bidirectional morphological approach to automatically generate crack and texture line maps through transforming a surface image into an intermediate representation. Rather than relying on the application of the eight connectivity rule to a combination of horizontal and vertical gradient to extract edges, we instruct an edge classifier in the form of a support vector machine from features computed on each direction separately. The model couples a bidirectional local gradient and geometrical characteristics. It constitutes of four elements: (1) bidirectional edge maps; (2) bidirectional equivalent connected component maps; (3) SVM-based classifier and (4) crack and architectural line feature map generation. Relevant details are discussed in each part. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed algorithm is verified in a set of simulations that is satisfactorily conforming to labeled data provided manually for surface images of earthen heritage. © 2020 by the authors.","Connected component; Crack detection; Earthen heritage; Machine learning; Morphological approach; Rammed earth; SVM",,,,,,"Horizon 2020 Framework Programme, H2020; H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, MSCA: 754511","This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 754511 (PhD Technologies Driven Sciences: Technologies for Cultural Heritage - T4C).","Funding: This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 754511 (PhD Technologies Driven Sciences: Technologies for Cultural Heritage - T4C).",,,,,,,,,"Broberg, P., Surface crack detection in welds using thermography (2013) NDT E Int., 57, pp. 69-73; Sinha, S.K., Fieguth, P.W., Automated detection of cracks in buried concrete pipe images (2006) Autom.

The wall remains, those still standing, consist of several enclosures and sections built in rammed earth. As many of these are a magnificent example of defensive earthen architecture, the Castle of Mula has been widely analysed and recently protected by a Master Plan. However, Mula's unique old town, an Asset of Cultural Interest in the category of Historic-Artistic Complex, with its irregular and narrow streets at the foot of the castle, includes residential constructions (mansions, palaces and humble dwellings) made with earth. The traditional residential architecture of Mula includes characteristic 2- or 3-storey buildings with sloping roofs. However, there are no specific studies on these and the use of earth as a construction material. The main aim of the study therefore is to carry out an initial identification and cataloguing of the different earthen construction techniques in the historic residential buildings of the old town and their relation to the residential typology of Mula. © Authors 2020.

The adaptation of many traditional buildings for tourist use or the construction of new accommodation incorporating traditional language into their structure or decorative repertoire does not always help to strengthen the vernacular values of original architecture. The starting point of this research is the typological definition of this architecture, mostly in aspects relating to the symbolic and ornamental elements of traditional dwellings in the valleys of the Dadès and of the Mgoun, its main tributary. The processes of evolution and transformation from the second half of the 20th century are then described, along with the risks from the tourist boom which has been affecting the region in recent years. In order to study this phenomenon twelve examples of tourist accommodation were selected to analyse the formal language and decorative resources used, in terms of heritage, but also from the perspective of the reinterpretation of architectural symbols in the context of acculturation. This theory considers dynamic cultural exchanges between tourism and the receiving society to be positive. © Authors 2020.

The first settlement of the city dates back to the Moorish domination, and after the Reconquista, together with Xativa, Alcoi and Elx, it became one of the main cities of the ancient Reino de Valencia. Its architectural heritage is a witness of this remarkable past, including the glorious example of the Moorish wall, built almost entirely using the technique of rammed earth. Throughout history, the Moorish wall and the entire architectural heritage of Alzira have suffered extensive damage due to multiple factors, including neglect, wars and numerous floods. Throughout history, floods have had a significant impact on the architectural and cultural heritage of the city, as chronicled at the time, given that until the 1960s, the historic centre was surrounded by the two branches of the river Júcar. This study aims to analyse the response of earthen architecture to flooding, assessing its resilience and vulnerability through the analysis of the case of the city of Alzira and, in particular, of its historic centre. The research will therefore investigate the adaptation of earthen architecture and traditional techniques to floods. The recognition of these good practices used in the past and the establishment of a level of risk will be crucial to developing measures for the prevention and mitigation of the effects of floods, such as structural reinforcements and protective devices. © Authors 2020.

Historically, local communities have rethought and transformed their architecture within the framework of becoming reality. This change is inherent in their condition of existence, and necessary to consider the multiplicity of institutionalized actors that raise agendas and actions that intersect in a complex way with the dynamics of World Heritage sites. This paper will analyze the implications of these processes through the study of earthen architecture in Quebrada de Humahuaca (Jujuy, Argentina). The site is at risk due to the exponential growth of tourism and the process of transformation in different dimensions of local realities. Transformations in vernacular architecture will be analyze considering three dimensions and intersections. On the one hand, changes in practices of local builders within their own dynamics; on the other, the conservation actions on the architecture that have formal declarations of protection; finally, commodification of vernacular architecture due to tourist activities. The approach of this paper will focus on technical aspects, within a conceptual framework as social facts, based on the survey and fieldwork carried out in recent years. This case study could act as a precedent for similar researches and would be useful for guidelines in global earthen heritage conservation projects. © Authors 2020.

The current heritage is vast, rich and valuable but has suffered (and continues to suffer) from the effects of abandonment and lack of maintenance. This, in conjunction with unsuitable interventions, worsens the resistance and durability of this architecture. The RISK-Terra project (financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science) aims to provide a scientific study of different hazards (natural, anthropic, and social ones as well as deterioration and transformation dynamics). The aim of this paper is to focus on initial assessments of the project relating to social hazards (abandonment, depopulation, loss of social reputation, demographic pressure, tourism development-) in order to prevent and mitigate possible damage through specific compatible actions and/or tools aimed at increasing possible social resilience. © 2020 Elsevier B.V..

However, some of these have not the same recognition and protection by authorities, being really vulnerable, especially against natural phenomena like the earthquakes. After the 2017 Puebla Earthquake, the remainders of the earthen architecture of Jojutla de Juarez were collected to be analysed. Natural clays of the quarries near the town were compared by colorimetry tests with the traditional adobe samples which were collected in the locality. There also were conducted particle size analysis and the Unified Soil Classification System, USCS, to obtain the composition and properties of the soils and the adobe bricks, as well as the additives used, mainly straw as fibre reinforcements of the adobe masonry. One of the factors observed which contributed to change the colorimetric values of the clays was the use of stabilizers like lime, on the other hand, these stabilizers also helped to change the USCS classification of the soils and their cohesive properties. © 2020 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland.","Clays; Colorimetry; Earthen architecture; Microscopy; Sieve analysis","Additives; Color; Colorimeters; Colorimetry; Earthquakes; Historic preservation; Lime; Particle size; Particle size analysis; Restoration; Soils; Cohesive property; Cultural heritages; Earthen architectures; Earthen buildings; Fibre reinforcements; Historic buildings; Natural phenomena; Unified soil classification systems; Soil testing",,,,,"Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, CONACYT; Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, UMSNH","The authors of the work show gratitude to the Technical Support of the Materials Laboratory “Ing.

In this article, a new type of fully grouted tension–compression composite anchorage system (TC-anchorage system) is proposed, which is made up of a pressure bearing system with the same diameter of the anchor hole at the end of the tension bolt. The in situ anchorage, pull-out test and interfacial stress–strain monitoring were carried out for the T-anchorage systems and the TC-anchorage systems. This was based on the preliminary analysis and comparison of the structure and working mechanism of the two anchorage systems. The test results show that: the average ultimate load of the TC-anchorage system is about 40% higher than that of the T-anchorage system. TC-anchorage systems have the characteristics of small elastic deformation and large plastic deformation. The strain at the bolt–slurry interface varies progressively along the embedded length with the increase of load in a positive skewness–bimodal–negative skewness curve. The working mechanism of TC-anchorage systems includes three progressive stages: bolt–slurry interface debonding, conical slurry formation and slurry extrusion. The research conclusion provides a reference for the application of TC-anchorage systems in the protection and reinforcement of earthen heritage sites. © 2019, The Author(s).","Anchorage performance; Earthen heritage sites; Fully grouted tension anchorage system (T-anchorage system); Fully grouted tension–compression composite anchorage system (TC-anchorage system); Working mechanism",,,,,,"National Natural Science Foundation of China, NSFC; China National Funds for Distinguished Young Scientists: 41562015, 51208245; Changjiang Scholar Program of Chinese Ministry of Education: 2017IRT17-51","The research described in this paper was financially supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 41562015 and No. 51208245) and the Program for Changjiang Scholars and Innovative Research Team in University of Ministry of Education of China (2017IRT17-51).","The research described in this paper was financially supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Nos. 41562015 and 51208245) and the Program for Changjiang Scholars and Innovative Research Team in University of Ministry of Education of China (2017IRT17-51).

The Leguizamon House of earthen and two floors represented a new challenge for the Earthen Heritage Management. Indeed, the pathology a deterioration detected in 2009 were very significant, and the fact that in Argentina this kind of work with this particular complexity and scale was never done represented a great difficulty. Beside, in this country, it does not exist special rules on architectural earthen restauration and construction. The Güemes House also represented an important challenge for the management because this dwelling of one floor was a private property with a deep meaning for the Argentinian Independence History. The professional advices of the Engineer Daniel Torrealva Davila from Peru led the restauration process of both historical monuments. In both case, they have been followed the guide lines of intervention for historical buildings in Peru, and the consolidation was addressed respecting the International Convention criteria and rules specialized in this specific issue. They were used structural reinforcement technics and materials absolutely news in Argentina which became national referents for their methodology and results obtained. It is important to note that during all the restauration process the original constructive frameworks, technologies and materials were respect, using structural reinforcement under the reversibility and low intervention criteria. © 2019, RILEM.","Authenticity; Integrity; Pathology; Reinforcement; Reversibility",,,,,,"Inter-American Development Bank, IDB","The work began in 2014 and ended in 2016.

These construction systems are adobe, bahareque, clay brick bearing walls and wooden structures for tiled roofs, portals and floors. The techniques are applied to the former San José School, a century old heritage building located in the historical center of Cuenca. The present article will emphasize the analysis and retrofit of the adobe, bahareque and clay brick walls. The former San José School currently requires a maintenance and structural retrofitting plan due to its state of deterioration. Its exceptional architectural value dates back to its designer and builder, the German Redemptorist Brother Johannes Stiehle, who was renowned for promoting the use of mixed construction systems of fired clay bricks and raw earth. Its technological value is based on the presence of several materials that mark the different construction stages of the heritage building. The applied methodology focuses on the evaluation, through the use of assessment and diagnosis cards as well as non-destructive prospecting, of the state of conservation of the bearing walls, its structure, its plastering, culminating with a study of the floors, ceilings as well as murals and panel paintings. The research concludes with an intervention plan that proposes the structural retrofitting of this heritage building, recognizing the richness of its traditional construction systems to guarantee its conservation for future generations. © 2019, RILEM.","Cuenca; Earthen architecture; Heritage conservation; Johannes Stiehle; Structural retrofit",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Espinoza, A., Guerra, D., Rubio, H., Restauración, refuncionalización, obra nueva del Colegio Febres Cordero (1991) Tesis De Pregrado Previo a Obtener El título De Arquitectura, , Universidad de Cuenca, Cuenca, Ecuador; Achig-Balarezo, M.C., Brazzero, M., Caldas, V., Prospecciones en muros de tierra para generar propuestas de recuperación de color (2017) Cuenca, Ecuador. 17 SIACOT Seminario Iberoamericano De Arquitectura Y Construcción Con Tierra, , https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SiGGe23_5St1YqKnDk-3JrPNj30BHdhG/view, La Paz, Bolivia, Accessed 28 Dec 2017; Caldas, V., Sigha, X., Breve análisis cronológico de la introduccion de materiales relevantes, dentro de las edificaciones del centro histórico de Cuenca entre los años 1880 y 1980 (2017) Tesis Previa a La obtención Del título De Arquitectos, , Universidad de Cuenca; Piedra, C., (2008) Soluciones a daños En Edificaciones Patrimoniales Construidas Con tecnologías Tradicionales, , Universidad de Cuenca; Piedra, C., (2008) Soluciones a daños En Edificaciones Patrimoniales Construidas Con tecnologías Tradicionales, , Universidad de Cuenca; Rivera, N., Rivera, M., Hermano Juan Bautista Stiehle * Redentorista (2001) Editorial Amazonas S.A.

These degradations lead its occupants to rehabilitate it by using modern building materials. This paper focuses on the rehabilitation of vernacular earthen architecture and its influence on the thermal behaviour of ksourian houses in sub-arid zones. It is based on a comparative study that combines the site measurements and the numerical simulation by Energyplus. Two courtyard houses, constructed of an adobe brick, were evaluated, one in its initial shape and the other rehabilitated. The results shows that the rehabilitation of the envelope made on this house did not influence its thermal qualities significantly; a very small difference justified on its internal thermal behaviour was recorded in cold period and almost minor during summer. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2018.",,"Arid regions; Building materials; Climate change; Stability; Built heritage; Comparative studies; Courtyard house; Earthen architectures; Initial shape; Rehabilitation effects; Site measurements; Thermal behaviours; Houses",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Diemer, A., Développement durable plutôt qu'écodéveloppement: Le nouveau gadget idéologique de l'occident (2012) Colloque Francophone; les Représentations Nord Sud du Développement Durable, , Université Blaise Pascal - IUFM Auvergne; (2013) Strategies and Opportunities to 2050.

Originally, environmental conditions suggested the use of earth as the main construction material. However, the few vestiges that remain go unnoticed. This research aims to contextualize in time, type and condition all those constructions that preserve, although not in their totality, the elements built with earthen techniques: adobe, cob, rammed earth, amongst others.

Moist sod construction is widespread, but there is now evidence also of dry sod construction. The first mud bricks were cut from a layer of mud spread on the ground, giving them a flat plate form which then dominated ancient Mesopotamia and the later Arab world. In wetter climates a brick or block shape developed, and in Anatolia the Kurds developed an ingenious compromise between the flat plate and the block shape. In Iran, where the timber shortage is most acute, there is a technique of building adobe arches on gypsum ribs. Rammed earth was a later North African invention and lehmwickel, or earth winding, was a widespread technique in Europe and in German–influenced areas elsewhere, but until recently usually mistaken for wattle and daub. © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, London.",,"Architecture; Sustainable development; Anatolia; Earthen architectures; Flat plate; Mesopotamia; Mud brick; Rammed earth; Brick",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Allen, M.D.L., (1991) A Renaissance of Earth as a Building Material in New Zealand, , MArch, University of Auckland; Arellano, J.F., A Review of Historic Use of Earth in Construction in the Iberian Peninsula (2006) CHS Newsletter, p. 74; Baridon, L., Garric, J.-P., Richaud, G., (2016) Les Leçons De La Terre: François Cointeraux (17401830) Professeur d’Architecture Rurale, , Paris: INHA; Blair, D., (1964) Harmonist Construction: Principally as Found in the Two-Storey Houses Built in Harmonie, Indiana, pp. 1814-1824. , Indianapolis: Indiana Historical Society; Böhm, T., (1911) Handbuch Der Holzkonstruktionen Des Zimmermanns, , Berlin: Julius Springer; Builder, 14 October 1848.

Indigenous Māori developed their own earthen techniques, and European settlers adapted those from their countries of origin. During the twentieth century, earth construction fell out of favour, and by 1930 it was all but non-existent. After the Second World War, however, a new interest emerged, motivated not by nostalgia, but by pragmatism and a desire to find modern techniques for utilising earth to build everyday houses. The mid-century builders looked to modern technology and current research in soil engineering, in particular the work of Christchurch engineer, P.J. (‘Pip’) Alley. Three groups of earth buildings, built between 1947 and 1965, are the enduring legacy of this era, and they provide evidence of a mid-century movement towards a new earthen vernacular in Aotearoa New Zealand. © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, London.",,"Engineering research; Military operations; Soil mechanics; Sustainable development; Earth construction; Earthen architectures; Modern techniques; Modern technologies; Second World War; Soil engineering; Twentieth century; Vernacular architecture; Architecture",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Alley, P.J., Loess in Soil Cement Mixtures (1948) In New Zealand Engineering, 47; Alley, P.J., A Soil Cement House (1949) New Zealand Engineering, pp. 558-559. , 15 July 1949; Alley, P.J., (1952) Soil Cement House Construction, , New Zealand Engineering August 1952: illegible page number; Alley, P.J., Progress in Soil Cement (1955) New Zealand Engineering, March 1955, pp. 89-90; Allen, M., (1991) Survey of Earth Buildings in New Zealand.

The research presented in this article explores grouting using sieved soil and micro-lime dispersed in isopropanol for plaster reattachment on earthen support. The grout formulations have been evaluated in several laboratory tests and at mock-up’s that look at the workability of fresh grout and the performance of the cured grout. On-site tests provide additional information about applicability and the performance of the grout with weakened historic earthen substrates. The results indicate that the tested formulations with varying percentages of micro-lime show good flowability on absorbing substrates and tolerable shrinkage. Results both from flexural strength tests and microscopic investigation demonstrate that the water-free soil- lime grouts provide good bonding to both the substrate and delaminated plasters. Higher lime content results in higher mechanical strength, indicating the grouts potential to be developed into suitable conservation materials for both plaster reattachment and crack repair in the conservation of earthen architecture. © 2017 Taylor & Francis.","consolidation; earthen architecture conservation; grout injection; in-situ conservation; micro-lime; modified mud grouts; plaster reattachment; water-free grouts","Architecture; Consolidation; Grouting; Lime; Plaster; Soils; Substrates; Absorbing substrates; Crack repairs; Earthen architectures; Grout formulations; Grout injection; Iso-propanols; Laboratory test; On-site tests; Mortar; consolidation; crack; grout; grouting; in situ measurement; laboratory method; lime; mechanical property; research work; shrinkage; sieving",,,,,"2012BAC11B01-02; Jinggangshan University, JGSU","The authors would like to thank the team at Jinggangshan University for the support during the site work.

They took advantage from the knowledge of the territory (winds orientation, sun exposure, presence of vegetation, water availability, etc.) to design their houses, the settlements and the agricultural landscape. The agri-cultural heritage system reflects the complexity of relationships that people establish both among themselves and with the physical and geographical environment and its own vernacular architecture, frequently built using techniques of earth construction. Therefore earthen vernacular buildings are a fundamental and valuable part of the world's built heritage, a non-monumental, non-formal, non-architect designed architecture that express the ability of man to take charge of shaping his living environment by the practices of self-production of materials, self-construction and self-finishing: it represent a form of ""living heritage"" which passes intangible cultural traditions of the local community from generation to generation, including the construction techniques useful to protect and restore this inheritance. Comparing efforts and ongoing experiences in different countries -taking into account the diversity in cultural, geographical and heritage aspects- allows to clarify the state of the art of this field of research, to identify weaknesses, strengths, sharable methodologies. China is the holder of a vast inheritance of earthen structures similar in many aspects to others located in various parts of the globe: we can compare, for example, the hypogea cave dwellings in Matmata (Tunisia) (Figure 1) to the yáodòng shelters dug in the Loess Plateau (Figure 2) or the foggara structures in North Africa (Libya and Algeria) to the Karez water system in Turfan (Xinjiang, China). China is undertaking a sustainable development with a holistic approach that takes into account the environmental, cultural, social, technological and economic aspects, supporting several development projects by applying the principles of dynamic conservation, involving residents to actively participate in order to ensure the transfer of knowledge and know-how needed to preserve the agri-cultural heritage system.","Earthen architecture; Earthen heritage restoration; Sustainable development; Vernacular constructive systems; Yáodòng cave-dwellings",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Arulrajah, V.V., (1990) 5th international congress International Association of Engineering Geology, 4. , Proceedings / Comptes-rendus, Buenos Aires, 20-25 October 1986, Taylor & Francis; Agnew, N., Conservation of Ancient Sites on the Silk Road (1997) Proceedings of an International Conference on the Conservation of Grotto Sites, , Los Angeles, CA: The Getty Conservation Institute; Agnew, N., Conservation of Ancient Sites on the Silk Road (2010) Proceedings of the Second International Conference on the Conservation of Grotto Sites, Mogao Grottoes, Dunhuang, , People's Republic of China, June 28-July 3, 2004.

High-temperature calcination and inverse microemulsion were used to produce nano calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide particles, respectively. The surface morphology, size distribution and mineral composition of these particles were viewed directly through Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), rapid shearing strength and disintegration test were carried out, aiming to evaluate mechanical properties, durability and water resistance ability improvement after treatment. Furthermore, the SEM-EDS technique was used to reveal the reason why the strength of the samples was improved after treated by nano calcium-based materials and how the calcium precipitation distributed spatially within the pore space. These conclusions provide a further research method and means for the application of nano calcium-based material in earthen site reinforcement projects. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London.",,"Compressive strength; Disintegration; Durability; Hydrated lime; Lime; Microemulsions; Morphology; Reinforcement; Scanning electron microscopy; Surface morphology; Heritage conservation; High-temperature calcination; Inverse micro emulsion; Mineral composition; research methods; Synthesis and characterizations; Unconfined compressive strength; Water-resistances; Inverse problems",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Ambrosi, M., Dei, L., Giorgi, R., Neto, C., Baglioni, P., Colloidal particles of Ca(OH)2: Properties and applications to restoration of frescoes (2001) Langmuir, 17, pp. 4251-4255; Barton, J., (2009) 3D Laser Scanning and the Conservation of Earthen Architecture: A Case Study at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Merv, 41 (3), pp. 489-504. , Turkmenistan.

Based upon the characteristics distribution pattern of the relation between magnitudes and epicentral distances or distances from faults, general effects to structures could be estimated as a preliminary base. Earthquake data from PCSeis (1606–2011) show little effects on the Mogao Grottoes. However, “Sanwei Shan fault,” which locates nearby the site, may cause a very big magnitude earthquake of M = 8.

An important investment of energies that helped earthen architecture gain a dignity and an appreciation that was not known just fifteen years ago. The need to make these information available has become a priority in the very last years, encouraging the Association, in cooperation with the University of Cagliari - Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, to reverse into a web site a mapping of all activities related to Earthen architecture in the Country. This includes a list of academies and institutions that are working on the topic, producers and enterprises, professionals and owners. The mapping of Italy is being coordinated together with German (Weimar University) and French (CRATerre) partners in order to start an European data collection on earthen architecture. By now only the German site is fully available, being the Italian and the French almost ready to be put online, as well.

Sonam Wangchuk and his wife Rebecca Norman run the SECMOL (Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh) campus at Phey, in Ladakh, experimenting with traditional building materials such as earth. The family of potters living in Likir, whom we met on their way home from their fields during harvest time, offered us their provisions from the field and lots of information on traditional pottery making. The house name of this family is Langdopa. Rigzen Wangyal, the young potter, was accompanied by his brothers Rigzen Angdu and Tsering Norbu as well as by his mother; This interview was conducted together with Sonam Wangchuk, who translated into English, in Nye in August 2011 at Tsewang Norbu's home. Sonam Wangchuk is well-known as the founder of SECMOL in 1994 and as having worked continuously with earth as a building material. Tsewang Norbu is a native of Nye. His profession is primarily that of a blacksmith. His father was already producing stoves (thab, pron. 'thap'). As the material in which Tsewang Norbu heats the metal, supported by bellows made of animal skin, has to be refractory, he was always confronted with the need for proper earth materials which are actually the same which he uses for making a thab, i.e. the thab sa. His nickname Garbo (mgar ba meaning 'blacksmith') refers to the commonalty of blacksmiths; Terminological addition by Erberto Lo Bue, personal communication by e-mail, 30 August 2012; Hamid (1998:172); Interview with Sonam Wangchuk in August 2011 in Basgo; This paragraph, concerning the 'chukalak' was added by Sonam Wangchuk in a correspondence in October 2011. Furthermore he adds: ""However I have found in tests that chukalag around Phey has more real clay particles and coarse silt than the Spituk markala which appears to be uniform fine silt, so that's why it is possibly like a mix of Basgo and Spituk fine silt""; Susan Nitsche who was working as a conservator of wall paintings in the Sumtsek in Wanla for the Achi Association at the time of my visit brought my attention to the consistency of the earth used in this crack; Interview with Mr. Angchuk, an engineer originally from Basgo, in August 2011 at his home in Leh; Interview with Radha Krishan in 2002 at Ribba, where he taught at the time of the interview; Hamid (1998:136); Bielmeier et al.

However, most of them suffer from various types and degrees of deterioration, with many questions not answered. Scaling off is one of the main types of deterioration widely observed at the Site of Yar City. To clarify the underlying mechanisms of cracked surface crust formation, previous experimental achievements are reviewed in the framework of unsaturated soil mechanics in this paper. A series of laboratory tests on the properties of local soil during desiccation, including water retention, volumetric shrinkage, cracking and tensile strength, are presented and analyzed, with a particular emphasis on salinity effect. Results show that suction is the key factor controlling the soil behavior. With the decrease in water content, all suction components increased gradually. The presence of NaCl led to a large increase in total suction, but a negligible change in matric suction. The soil shrinkage characteristic curve, which can be divided into three zones, was not affected by NaCl. The suction-loading curve indicates that the change in void ratio was governed by matric suction. In addition, most of the drying shrinkage of soil took place in saturated and near-saturated conditions. According to the quantitative analysis of final crack patterns, the highly fragmented surface morphology tended to be induced in thinner, less salinized soil specimens. The soil tensile strength also increased during drying, which was further enhanced by the cementation of salt crystals between particles. These preliminary results can provide some insights in understanding the on-site deterioration of earthen heritage sites. © 2023, The Author(s).","Cracking; Desiccation; Deterioration mechanisms; Tensile strength;

This paper summarizes the application and R&D of anchor rod techniques as applied to the protection of the Gaochang Ruins, Turpan, in China. Based on the reinforcement of the small sliding mass of the earthen historical ramparts, a new type of Geotechnical Filament Anchor (GFA) is designed. By changing six parameters, including anchorage length (L), GF thickness (H), bore diameter (D), slurry strength (S), GFA surface state (R) and inclination Angle (A), the tensile strength, failure mode, load displacement (P-S) relationship and strain (ζ-L) distribution characteristics are studied, and corresponding analysis is performed on the test data and phenomena. (1) A formula for the design value of the anchorage force N is presented. (2) Combining the data on the strain distribution at the GF-slurry interface under the action of N, the shear stress distribution model of the anchorage system is obtained. (3) Taking into account the soil mechanical properties of the above-mentioned ruins, the shear stress diffusion coefficient (α) is conceptualized, the formula for the shear strength of the grouting material is obtained, and the allowable ranges of L, D, H, R, and S determined. A new design is proposed for the application of anchorage techniques to earthen ruins in the context of protection of cultural relics, which promotes the design and calculation method described in this paper. © 2023, The Author(s).","Design concept;

BC. While earthen architecture has already been studied on a macroscopic scale, the use of micromorphology represents an original approach. This research highlights six different assemblages of Mentesh Tepe earthen material preparations, showing a diversity in the manufacturing processes (i.e. the way of preparing the earth, the building techniques, the way of using the earth during the construction) and in the care for the architecture. The well-prepared materials show intense mixing at a wet state with temper added to the composition, while less prepared elements are poorly mixed in a dry state with heterogeneous material. We have identified microscopic features of moulded mudbrick and a unique use of gypsum material for one specific building. From these results based upon the building techniques and material uses we discuss the possible function or status of the structures and the life-cycle of the buildings through time. These results question possible social differences within the Neolithic groups at a site scale. This corpus, while rather small, is the first in the area for Neolithic architecture, and our results only pretend to give a preliminary overview and some ongoing reflection on architectural questions about the first sedentary communities of the Southern Caucasus. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd","Aratashen-Shulaveri-Shomutepe; Building techniques; Earthen material; Facies; Multiscalar approach; Protohistory",,,,,,"Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG; Agence Nationale de la Recherche, ANR; Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen; Ministère des Affaires Etrangères; Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, MNHN: UMR 7194 HNHP - PAST","This work is the outcome of an MSc. thesis made at the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris under the direction of C.

The presence of interesting examples of earthen brick buildings, for example, in the Piedmont Region of Italy, is characterised by the absence of rendering, which reveals the need to test treatments for the protection and/or strengthening of the walls of these buildings. This action is of fundamental importance to improve its resistance to the aggressive action of atmospheric agents and avoid their disappearance. A testing campaign adopting protective products with sustainability characteristics and low environmental impact was carried out on earthen brick walls. Different products belonging to various categories (synthetic polymers, natural resins, nano-structured materials) and selected based on previous experiments or tested for the first time on earthen surfaces were selected. The performance assessment of the products was carried out by taking into account the standardised procedures in the field of cultural heritage conservation through the following tests: water absorption, water vapour permeability, drilling resistance, water erosion tests (Geelong and spray), contact angle measurements, colorimetric measurements, and ageing tests. Although the choice of the optimal protective product should be made on a case-by-case basis, where it is not sustainable to proceed in this way, the results of this experimental campaign—in the presence of materials and weathering conditions similar to those of the case study analysed—will provide indications in identifying of the most appropriate product. © 2023 by the authors.","conservation issues; earthen architecture; earthen bricks; protective products; test methods",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Mattone, M., Earthen Architectures: History, Typologies and Construction Techniques (2021) Past and Present of the Earthen Architectures in China and Italy, pp. 11-22. , CNR Edizioni, Roma, Italy; Minke, G., (2021) Building with Earth: Design and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture, , 4th ed., Birkhauser, Basel, Switzerland; Costi de Castrillo, M., Philokyprou, M., Ioannou, I., Comparison of adobes from pre-history to date (2017) J.

However, the stabilization affects the thermal properties of the earthen blocks, and thus their capacity to provide adequate thermal comfort to occupants. This article examines the influence of cement and geopolymer binders on thermal comfort in compressed earthen buildings in hot and arid climates. Design/methodology/approach: The test cell is on the building platform in Burkina Faso. The building is made of compressed earth blocks (CEB) consisting of laterite, water and binder. The thermal models of the building were implemented in EnergyPlus v9.0.1 software. Empirical validation is used to check whether the model used for the thermal dynamic simulation can reproduce with accuracy the thermal behavior in a real situation. The adaptive thermal comfort model of ASHRAE 55–2010 was used to assess thermal comfort in long-term hot and dry tropical conditions. Findings: The results show that the CEB buildings remain hot despite the use of cement or geopolymer binder. Indeed, with both cement and geopolymer binders, on a daily basis, 19 h and 15 h are uncomfortable during, respectively, the hot and cold seasons. An increase of 1% in cement content raises the comfort hours by 9.2 h during the hot season and 11.7 h during the cold season. Hence, the comfort time varies linearly with the cement content in the building material. Moreover, there is no linear relationship between comfort time and geopolymer rate. Research limitations/implications: Complementary work should also assess the influence of stabilization on building humidity levels. In fact, earthen materials are very sensitive to outdoor humidity and indoor humidity affects thermal comfort even if it is not taken into account in the ASHRAE adaptive thermal comfort model. Practical implications: The present study will certainly contribute to a better valorization of clay potential in countries with similar climatic conditions. Social implications: The use of geopolymer binder is a suitable ecological option to replace the cement binder. It is important to mention that nighttime comfort can be increased through passive strategies such as natural ventilation. Originality/value: Most CEB material stabilization analyses including cement and geopolymer ones were mostly investigated at the laboratory scale and less at the building scale. Also, the influence of the binder rate on the thermal performance of buildings made of cement and geopolymer has not yet been assessed.

Nevertheless, in the last decades, adobe constructions have been abandoned and severely modified, been displaced by the use of industrial materials like concrete blocks and ceramic bricks. The importance of these traditional systems in the local communities is a crucial aspect, since the techniques have been transmitted for generations and are part of the inner culture. Adobe samples from heritage buildings, including complete specimens and cylinders, were collected in the town of La Huacana, in the state of Michoacan, in Mexico. Also these structures were surveyed and analyzed from the technological and architectural study of the buildings and materials. After the field work the samples were brought to the materials laboratory of the Michoacan University of Saint Nicholas of Hidalgo and were analyzed with non-destructive tests, mechanical resistance and soil mechanics trials. The experimentation allowed to calculate the mechanical resistance as well as the ultrasonic pulse velocity; the results were compared to the sieve analysis, the Atterberg limits and the USCS (Unified Soil Classification System) of the samples. The material characterization of the adobes allowed to determine the properties of these construction materials, which commonly are not deeply studied. The samples from La Huacana presented a very singular composition with great percentages of fine material, while the mechanical properties were quite satisfactory in comparison with the background researches. It is expected to perfect and regulate the characterization of earthen materials by means of research works like the one presented, achieving a complete perspective of these traditional systems. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.","Earthen construction; Materials properties; Non-destructive tests; Soil mechanics; Sustainable materials",,,,,,"Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, CONACYT; Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, UMSNH","The authors acknowledge the Materials Laboratory “Ing.

This method involves growing the mycelium on overlapping cellophane discs on solid medium and the disruption of the fungal cell wall by a combined action of liquid nitrogen and a lytic enzyme. The extraction is performed with the PureLink ™ Genomic DNA Mini Kit protocol from Pure Genomic. The full procedure can be completed in two hours. The new genomic DNA extraction protocol provided good quality and quantity of fungal DNA, from fungal mycelium, with an average yield of 27 ng/µL of DNA per sample. Purified DNA samples yielded 25 ng of DNA ready for sequencing. PCR amplifications of the DNA extracted using the new method were more successful than those extracted using the CTAB method. Thus this new extraction protocol is demonstrated to be an effective method for the identification of a wide range of filamentous fungal species that affect the integrity of buildings with earthen architecture. © The International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works 2022.","biodeterioration; DNA extraction; earthen architecture; filamentous fungi; historical buildings","Cellophane; DNA sequences; Extraction; Gene encoding; Liquefied gases; Mycelium; Network architecture; Polymerase chain reaction; Biodeterioration; DNA extraction; Earthen architectures; Extraction protocols; Filamentous fungus; Historical buildings; Sao Paulo; SIMPLE method; Simple++; Solid medium; DNA",,,,,"Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo, FAPESP","This work was supported by research grants #2012/05356-5, #2012/50038-1, and #2012/13119-3 from São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).

However, many sites have experienced extensive deterioration caused by environmental forces and human factors. A crack is a kind of typical damage to the walls of earthen heritage sites. Studies of the crack-formation process can effectively predict trends in damage, which will play a critical role in the maintenance of earthen heritage sites. This study is the first of its kind to propose a deep learning method to study the cracks on earthen heritage sites at the pixel-level, adopt the idea of transfer learning, and employ a mixed-crack image dataset for training three deep learning models. The precision, recall, IoU, and F1 metrics were used to evaluate the performance of the trained models. The experimental results showed that FPN-vgg16 appeared to have the highest level of applicability to detect cracks on earthen heritage sites among all networks, due to the highest F1 score of 84.40% and the highest IoU score of 73.11%. The results illustrated that the proposed method in this paper can effectively be used to analyze the rammed earth surface crack images, with great potential in related research fields. © 2022 by the authors.","classification; crack detection; deep learning; pixel-level segmentation",,,,,,"National Key Research and Development Program of China, NKRDPC: 2019YFC1520904","This research was financially supported in part by the National Key Research and Development Program of China under Grant No. 2019YFC1520904.",,,,,,,,,,"Richards, J., Zhao, G., Zhang, H., Viles, H., A Controlled Field Experiment to Investigate the Deterioration of Earthen Heritage by Wind and Rain (2019) Herit.

Developing risk assessment tools is considered crucial to mitigate the risk and to protect heritage buildings. Due to its hygroscopic nature, earthen architecture is generally considered to be vulnerable to water, requiring a specific analysis. This paper proposes a vulnerability assessment method for earthen buildings in flood-prone areas. Based on the evaluation of the susceptibility of the building’s components and characteristics, the method allows for quantifying the vulnerability of the assets, in non-monetary terms. An application of the methodology is carried out assessing a selection of earthen construction in Quito Historic Centre (Ecuador). The results show the influence of each component in the global vulnerability of the earthen buildings. The response of different construction techniques and the importance of the maintenance of heritage buildings is exposed. Vulnerability assessment methods at the meso-small scale constitute the foundation for risk assessment. Thus, this study aims to provide a significant assessment tool that can be used for further analysis and future lines of research, aiming to protect cultural heritage that is at risk. © 2022 by the authors.","earthen architecture; floods; vulnerability assessment; world heritage site",,,,,,"Universitat Politècnica de València, UPV: 006070000-541-47110","This research was made possible thanks to the fund given to the first author by Universitat Politècnica de València, by means of a “Grant for the mobility of PhD students”, grant number 006070000-541-47110.",,,,,,,,,,"Beckett, C.T.S., Jaquin, P.A., Morel, J.C., Weathering the storm: A framework to assess the resistance of earthen structures to water damage (2020) Constr.

In this study, rammed earth samples were collected from the heritage wall, and the salt solution erosion test of samples were carried out. The influence mechanism of salt erosion on the earthen heritage site wall was conducted on the rammed earth samples using portable digital microscope, scanning electron microscope, portable chromatic aberration instrument, strip-shaped adhesive tapes, hardness tester, electronic universal testing machine, X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis. The macro and micro observations showed the salt erosion damage of rammed earth goes through three stages roughly. The warping and hollowing were appeared on the surface and salt precipitation in the inner sample at the early stage; The soluble salt precipitation thin salt shell appeared on the surface and the pulverization in the inner sample at the middle stage; Salt particles covered the whole surface, the inner sample was wet and the pulverization was reduced at the later stage. The chromatic aberration analysis showed the chromatic aberration of the surface sample increased with the increase of salt supply time, but the variation decreased when the salt shell covered the surface of the sample. The adhesion analysis showed the number of particles fall off the sample surface increases first and then decreases, and the cohesion of the sample surface is overall decreased. The hardness and compressive strength analysis showed they decreased linearly with the increase of salt supply time. The component analysis of precipitated soluble salts showed sodium chloride in soluble salt mainly migrated and precipitated on the surface during the sample drying process, and the main factor leading to the pulverization of the sample. © 2022 The Authors","Earthen heritage site wall; Influence; Mechanism; Rammed earth; Salt erosion","Aberrations; Adhesives; Compressive strength; Digital devices; Erosion; Hardness; Instrument testing; Scanning electron microscopy; Chromatic aberration; Earthen heritage site wall; Heritage sites; Influence; Influence mechanism; Pulverisation; Rammed earth; Salt erosion; Salt precipitation; Soluble salts; Sodium chloride",,,,,"Shanxi Scholarship Council of China, SXSCC: 2022-066","The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support from Research Project Supported by Shanxi Scholarship Council of China with Grant No 2022-066 .",,,,,,,,,,"Houben, H., Balderrama, A.A., Simon, S., Our earthen architectural heritage: Materials research and conservation (2004) MRS Bull., 25, pp. 338-341; Twiss, K.C., The Neolithic of the Southern Levant (2007) Evol.

However, the use of flat earthen roofs in today’s architecture is rare, although there is historical evidence for the vernacular use of earthen materials in roof assemblies. The first examples for vernacular earthen flat roofs are found in Anatolia, Catalhoyuk. Flat earthen roofs used in vernacular, Anatolian buildings should be studied because a lack of maintenance has resulted in these vernacular Anatolian earthen buildings being on the verge of extinction today. There is a lack of literature research about the construction materials and techniques used in this traditional construction process. The aim of this study is to compile and present the knowledge behind this traditional flat earthen roof technique. In this study, initially, the flat earthen roofs used in vernacular Anatolian Architecture are analyzed via an extensive literature review. It has been found that in different districts of Anatolia, different types of vernacular flat earthen roofs together with different material layers and construction techniques exist. Site studies were carried out in Kemaliye.* During these site studies, six flat earthen roofs present in Kemaliye and in neighboring towns constructed via traditional construction techniques were analyzed and interviews were carried out with seven local foremen. Then, based on the information gathered, these traditional flat earthen roofs were classified into four types according to their material layers and construction techniques.

The country possesses a vast number of monumental and vernacular built heritages that are constantly threatened by earthquakes. As vernacular techniques for dwellings comply with the needs, comfort, utility, and functionality of people, it is expected that endemic earthquake-resistant techniques make an essential contribution to Iranian vernacular architecture. The city of Yazd presents a unique and rich vernacular for earthen construction within Iranian architectural heritage, which has resulted in the recognition of the historic fabric of the city as a World Heritage Site since 2017. Considering the importance of exploring different local seismic cultures worldwide, this paper introduces an essential part of Iranian local seismic culture by recognising and classifying the vernacular earthquake-resistant techniques used in the earthen architecture of the city of Yazd. The techniques were collected by surveying the historic fabric, using data available in the literature, and interviewing traditional builders and local conservators. Next, the seismic influence of each technique was evaluated using examples from the performance of adobe constructions during the 2003 Bam earthquake. © 2022, The Author(s).","adobe; Iran; Local seismic culture; Vernacular earthen architecture; Yazd",,,,,,,"The authors would like to gratefully thank all the interviewees, particularly the traditional architect Hossein Kamali-Ardakani, and the conservators Ehsan Raad and Mahdi Sadeghahmadi, for their time, knowledge, and valuable experiences.

In the seismically active area of eastern Croatia, there is a large number of rammed earth houses, many of which are over 100 years old. All these houses were built using empirical knowledge, i.e., without applying national design standards. In order to support the preservation of ethnic villages and traditional rammed earth houses, a field survey was conducted. Parts of the walls of traditional rammed earth houses were collected, and the material was thoroughly analyzed. Samples of rammed earth were reproduced, and tests were carried out with the aim of determining the shear strength to subsequently determine the seismic behavior of Croatian traditional earthen architecture. This paper presents the results of shear strength tests on samples with different particle size distributions, lime content, the straw of different cereals but also hemp fibers. An increase in shear strength was observed with the addition of natural fibers to the samples. © 2022 by the authors.","eastern Croatia; fiber additives; lime; rammed earth; shear strength",,,,,,"Hrvatska Zaklada za Znanost, HRZZ: UIP-2020–02-7363","This research was funded by Croatian Science Foundation under the project UIP-2020–02-7363 Rammed earth for modelling and standardization in seismically active areas—RE-forMS.",,,,,,,,,,"Gomes, M.I., Gonçalves, T.D., Faria, P., Unstabilized rammed earth: Characterization of material collected from old constructions in south Portugal and comparison to normative requirements (2014) Int.

Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and splitting tensile strength (STS) of the specimens were discussed according to curing time, mix proportion, and attributes of hydration products. The results show that UCS and STS of L-MK modified silt containing 4–12% MK are approximately 2.60–8.49 times of that of materials without MK, that is MK can effectively improve the quality of lime silt. With the same lime and NHL content, the strength of L-MK modified silt approximately equals to or slightly higher than that of NHL for the addition of MK. The microstructure reveals that the hydraulicity of L-MK modified silt is significantly enhanced for the hydraulic cementitious substances (CSH, C4AH13, et al.) generated by the hydration reaction for L-MK modified silt, similar to NHL. Therefore, it can be concluded that L-MK may replace NHL as a cheaper and equally effective solution for earthen site protection. © 2022, RILEM.","Mechanical properties; Metakaolin (MK); Microstructure; Natural hydraulic lime (NHL)","Compressive strength; Hydration; Microstructure; Silt; Tensile strength; Curing time; Hydration products; Hydraulic lime; Metakaolin; Metakaolins; Mix proportions; Natural hydraulic lime; Paper analysis; Splitting-tensile strengths; Unconfined compressive strength; Lime",,,,,"2019GGJS142, 2020GGJS136, YJS2022SZ16","This work was supported by the Funding Program for Young Backbone Teachers in Colleges and Universities of Henan Province (Grant Nos. 2019GGJS142 and 2020GGJS136) and Postgraduate Education Reform and Quality Improvement Project of Henan Province (YJS2022SZ16) for their support.",,,,,,,,,,"Pan, C., Chen, K., Chen, D., Xi, S., Geng, J., Zhu, D., Research progress on in-situ protection status and technology of earthen sites in moisty environment (2020) Constr Build Mater, 253; Bras, A., Henriques, F.M.A., Cidade, M.T., Effect of environmental temperature and fly ash addition in hydraulic lime grout behavior (2010) Constr Build Mater, 24, pp. 1511-1517; Lanas, J., Pérez Bernal, J.L., Bello, M.A., Alvarez Galindo, J.I., Mechanical properties of natural hydraulic lime-based mortars (2004) Cem Concr Res, 34, pp. 2191-2201; Maravelaki-Kalaitzaki, P., Bakolas, A., Karatasios, I., Kilikoglou, V., Hydraulic lime mortars for the restoration of historic masonry in Crete (2004) Cem Concr Res, 35, pp. 1577-1586; Silva, B.A., Ferreira Pinto, A.P., Gomes, A., Natural hydraulic lime versus cement for blended lime mortars for restoration works (2015) Constr Build Mater, 94, pp. 346-360; Wang, N., Chen, W., Zhang, J., Liao, R., Li, J., Zhao, L., Zongren, Y., Evolution of properties under realistic curing conditions of calcined ginger nut grouting mortars used in anchoring conservation of earthen sites (2019) J Cult Herit, 40, pp. 62-79; Zuixiong, L., Linyi, Z., Li, L., Jinua, W., Research on the modification of two traditional building materials in ancient China (2013) Herit Sci, 1, pp. 1-11; Yanjun, S., Zhenjun, Z., Research progress of lime-metakaolin restoration mortars (2017) World Sci-Tech R & D, 39, pp. 39-44; Gameiro, A., Santos Silva, A., Veiga, R., Velosa, A., Hydration products of lime-metakaolin pastes at ambient temperature with ageing (2012) Thermochim Acta, 535, pp. 36-41; Pavlík, V., Užáková, M., Effect of curing conditions on the properties of lime.

While these earth-based materials have long been used in heritage and contemporary buildings worldwide, their poor performance against water-mediated weathering is still considered to be a major drawback. The aim of this study is to examine the durability performance of non-stabilized CEBs currently produced in Cyprus and to enhance their resistance against water-mediated weathering by optimizing their granular composition. To that end, four soils originating from specific areas of the island, which have been well-known for their rich tradition in earthen heritage buildings, namely adobe masonry, and a fine crushed aggregate were used to produce several CEBs. These were examined both at macroscopic and microscopic level, while spray erosion, drip, capillary absorption and wet/dry appraisal tests were carried out to assess their performance against water attack. The results show that more than one testing methodologies have to be used to fully assess the resistance of CEBs against water decay. They also suggest that the addition of sand can significantly improve the durability of non-stabilized CEBs against water-mediated weathering. This may prove to be a benefit both for restoration projects and contemporary constructions with the use of CEBs. © 2022 Elsevier Masson SAS","Capillary absorption; Compressed Εarth Βlocks (CEBs); Drip test; Durability; Spray erosion test; Wet/dry appraisal test",,,,,,"University of Cyprus, UCY; European Regional Development Fund, ERDF; Research and Innovation Foundation, RIF: ENTERPRISES/0618/0007","The authors would like to acknowledge funding by the University of Cyprus, the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus, through the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation (Project ENTERPRISES/0618/0007 ).

This is done following a methodology which uses indirect (bibliography) and direct (case study) sources systematically analysed from different perspectives: the values of Earth as a material and of architectural and vernacular heritage; the heritage conservation principles found in international documents; and the analysis of over 3,000 case studies from which good practices in earthen architecture conservation are extracted. Design/methodology/approach: Earthen built architectural heritage is found widely in all parts of the world, in archaeological sites and monumental and vernacular architecture, which research centres and researchers are increasingly studying and cataloguing. However, despite its richness and historic and cultural values, as well as its many merits in environmental sustainability, sociocultural and socio-economic terms, the value of this heritage has not been fully recognized in fields with major repercussions in conservation. Findings: Finally, these data are cross-referenced to establish the broadest possible strategies to guarantee all aspects to be taken into account in the conservation of earthen built architectural heritage. Originality/value: The text provides an overview of the different methodologies in order to extract specific strategies applicable to the conservation of this heritage, both locally and globally. © 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited.","Architecture; Conservation; Conservation theory and practice; Cultural heritage; Earthen structures",,,,,,"Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, MCIU: RTI2018-095302-B-I00","The analysis of case studies among the three research projects funded by the Spanish government (RES-Tapia - La restauración de la arquitectura de tapia en la Península Ibérica.

The almost 3,000 cases analysed for interventions in earthen built monumental and vernacular heritage () were assessed taking into consideration the criteria used (), the materials and intervention techniques and the results obtained following a period of time passed after the intervention (). The high number of cases analysed, combined with the wide range of constructive techniques (adobe, rammed earth, half-timber) and of materials and intervention techniques used (traditional and industrial) makes it possible to form reflections and strategies which, supported by scientific literature and international documents, can be generalized for application in other locations outside the geography studied. Following this methodology, a series of strategies was proposed and grouped into six major blocks:","The methodology used () for this research has resorted to indirect (bibliography) and direct (case studies) sources through a systematic analysis of different perspectives. To do so, an extensive initial bibliographical review was carried out, focussing especially on the identification of the values of Earth as a material, as well as on architectural, vernacular and intangible heritage. Secondly, based on international documents for the protection and conservation of cultural heritage, it was possible to identify the principles applicable to earthen-built heritage. Thirdly, the research carried out as part of three projects funded by the Spanish government (RES-Tapia, SOS-Tierra and RISK-Terra) has provided an extensive database of case studies (around 3,000 in the Iberian Peninsula) which have been analysed following the criteria (, ), materials, intervention techniques and results (; ). This analysis made it possible to identify not only the problems but also the good intervention and management practices that have made it possible to obtain favourable results in the short and long term. Finally, the combination of the results of the case studies, the identification of the good practices and principles set out in official documents has allowed conservation strategies for earthen built heritage to be outlined.",,,,,,,,,"(2014) VERSUS.

Moreover, the adaptive capacity of traditional knowledge and ancient systems is also evaluated, in order to contribute for future climate change adaptation planning. Design/methodology/approach: The vulnerability of cultural heritage to climate change was considered as the degree to which an identified cultural heritage value was susceptible to, or would be adversely affected by, the effects of climate change, including climate variability and extreme temperatures. In order to establish a vulnerability assessment, this paper will assess different definitions regarding vulnerability, exposure and sensitivity, crossing it with indicators of physical parameters, in order to propose an adaptive capacity for the site, based on ancient traditional knowledge. Findings: Nonetheless, the entailed research helped establish a framework that contributes to outline the vulnerability and the potential for adaptive capacity of World Heritage properties, especially earthen sites located in regions exposed to rising climate change impact. Research limitations/implications: The research faced some limitations regarding access to data and to site visits, due to COVID-19 restrictions that were in place.

Farmhouses and associated farm buildings, such as storage buildings or press houses for the production of wine and cider, were erected using different earth construction techniques. The study area stretches from the Weinviertel, a region located in the province of Lower Austria in the north‐east of Austria, to the Burgenland, a region located in the south‐east of Austria, which belonged to Western Hungary until 1921. From a geological point of view, in the east of Austria—in the Vienna Basin and the Molasse Zone—huge areas of Tertiary clay are covered with loess deposits, which is the best‐known basic material used in local earth‐building traditions. A core question in the research on vernacular earthen heritage focuses on the impact of the geological conditions in eastern Austria on the local earth‐building techniques. The mineralogical composition of the different clays had an impact on the local building techniques. From a material‐culture point of view, research on the relationship between the mineralogical properties of clay resources and local building techniques sheds light on the factors which influenced the evolution of certain vernacular building features. Tertiary clays and loess from the Pleistocene favoured the making of earth lumps, cob walls and adobe bricks over the whole Eastern Austrian region. Contrarily, regions in Burgenland with a high amount of gravel preferred, by tradition, to make walls by ramming. The clay mineral smectite acts as a binding agent in earth‐building techniques over the whole investigated region—Weinviertel, Burgenland and Western Hungary. © 2022 by the authors.

The kurgan was 5.5–6.0 m high and more than 60 m in diameter, and consisted of four earthen and three stone constructions. It was built in the second quarter of the 4th millennium BC (the Early Maykop culture) using a precise plan and utilizing the building skills and technologies available at that time. The earthen constructions consisted of alternating layers of dark-colored slightly compacted humified and pale-colored dense carbonate-rich materials, which, in the moist state, were rammed down by ancient builders. These materials were sourced mainly from local soils and contained admixtures of river silt and, at the final stage of building, dung. The physicochemical properties of the earthen constructions as well as the paleosols buried under them are indicative of a short-term aridization of the climate within the period of building. A gleyed earth with strong iron staining at the kurgan's base and mortar that held the stone constructions was produced by thoroughly mixing and compacting in a wet state, indicating that they were special construction materials. This kurgan is an example of the ancient earth architecture in the steppe zone of Russia over 5500 years ago. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.","ancient earthen architecture; kurgan building; Maykop culture; micromorphology; paleopedology","arid environment; Bronze Age; chemical composition; micromorphology; paleochannel; paleoclimate; physicochemical property; Caucasus; Northern Caucasus; Russian Federation; Stavropol",,,,,"Russian Science Foundation, RSF: 16‐17‐10280; 0191‐2019‐0046","We thank Inga Spiridonova and Michael Hayes for the English translation and editing of this study.

In settlement contexts, the architecture and the organisation of activity areas are quite difficult to characterize and reconstruct. Only a few house plans are known. However, many thinly stratified sites with artefact spreads could represent preserved living floors. The aim of this paper is to investigate the formation processes of this type of site through geoarchaeological study (soil micromorphology) of three sites (Gas, Sours and Pussigny), located in different geographic contexts. In particular, discussion centres on whether these are disturbed layers or well or partially preserved living floors. Using micromorphological analysis we were able to identify several constructed micro-facies (invert, backfill and screed) and functional micro-facies (trampled occupation surfaces inside or outside buildings). The microstratigraphic organisation of pedo-sedimentary sequences could be representative of different types of living floor: constructed floors inside cob buildings, living floors just outside buildings and yard floors. The results of this research confirm that the artefact spreads are the visible aspect of living floors. While for a long time the preservation of living floors was not considered because the conditions were regarded as unfavourable, this study actually demonstrates their possible preservation in different geomorphological and pedological contexts, as well as their informative potential. Moreover, the study shows that the artefact spreads reflect different spaces, depending on environmental conditions and human activities. In a context where data on Late Neolithic architecture in the south-western part of the Paris Basin is limited, these results confirm the presence of built structures on these sites and provide insights into the raw materials used for the construction of houses. Ultimately, the results contribute new knowledge and broaden the fields of research in geoarchaeology and the palaeo-ethnology of living floors. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd","Earthen architecture Geoarchaeology; House; Living floor; Neolithic; Soil micromorphology; Spatial organisation",,,,,,"UMR 8215","I would like to thank J.

This heritage has been deteriorating due to a lack of knowledge, disconnection from cultural roots, and because of the structural vulnerability of these buildings, mainly caused by earthquakes and moisture. Throughout recent years, research has been carried out in order to structurally intervene and preserve these buildings, however, within the Colombian context there are few studies regarding the location, distribution, and main characteristics of earthen buildings. Therefore, this research is presented from general to specific, beginning with an approach to Andean earthen architecture in Colombia, and ending with a case study of an urban environment: The Historic Centre of Bogotá (HCB). Based on this context, the most important earthen construction techniques and rehabilitation techniques were identified. Regarding the HCB case analysed, it was possible to identify the location, relationships, geometric characteristics, and intervention techniques of one-and-two-storey earthen buildings, by means of a procedure that can be replicated in other Colombian cities. The relevance of analysing Colombian earthen constructions is to contribute to the development of intervention techniques for, firstly, facilitating the conservation of their architectural heritage characteristics, and secondly, improving their structural behaviour to survive major earthquakes. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.","Adobe; Earthen architecture in Colombia; Earthen building in the Historic Centre of Bogotá; Earthen constructions techniques; Rammed-earth",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Ruiz, D.M.Carrera 7 # 40-62, Colombia; email: daniel.ruiz@javeriana.edu.co",,,"Taylor and Francis Ltd.",,,,,13556207,,,,"English","J.

The Moorish wall that surrounded the river island is the most relevant construction of this period, combining the defensive function together with the protection against recurrent floods. Built, almost entirely, using the rammed earth technique combined with adobe and stone masonry, it was listed and declared Asset of Local Relevance. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, because of the expansion needs of the city, the more than 2 km long wall was demolished, being preserved, nowadays, less than a third of the original length. In order to establish different intervention strategies and increase the resilience of the archaeological and monumental remains, a comprehensive study of natural, anthropic and social risks is needed. Having analysed the former within the Risk-Terra research project [1], this study focusses on the anthropic threats taking as starting point the documentation of the interventions carried out to retrofit and recover the Alzira’s wall and the analysis of the city council provisions related to the area of influence. To evaluate the social opinion, the results of the surveys of the public participation plan carried out for the study of landscape integration for the Special Protection Plan of La Vila de Alzira are analysed and completed with the anonymous responses of a survey specifically designed for this case study. Finally, a series of recommendations to reduce the anthropic threats are proposed, together with the design of an information campaign and dissemination of the values of this Asset of Cultural Interest, among the Alzira’s citizens and society. © 2022, University of Cantabria - Building Technology R&D Group.

The techniques that have been used in Greece are identified, emphasizing these that are located in the island of Crete. The aim of this research is the preservation of knowledge of clay constructions, as part of Greece’s cultural heritage and way of living. Major part of the research focuses on the “state of the art” of clay structures in Crete, thus setting the beginning for the historical documentation of earthen structures for the rest of Greece. The documentation of these types of buildings is crucial due to the fact that these types of structures are abandoned and need to be preserved. However, these types of earthen structures are still standing, testifying their tradition and know-how of their construction era. The methodology applied is based both on bibliography scientific research, on recording and documenting of clay buildings in Crete through in-situ visits and on the construction of 1:1 scale test earthen structures. The study is dealing with the tradition and the potential of earth as a building material in Greece. The tradition of the clay constructions is analyzed, starting from the first historical records of this building material in Minoan Crete until the contemporary clay buildings of the island of Crete. Case studies of buildings with natural materials are presented and analyzed in relation to the traditional knowledge of earthen techniques. Concluding, we are focusing on the importance of preserving earthen Greek architectural heritage and building tradition. We found that contemporary clay structures are using mainly different building techniques – mostly light clay – and that the most commonly used technique of abode structures is forgotten mainly due to the lack of Greek building legislation and to deficient historical recordings of clay building techniques of Greece. Suggestions for further research in relation to earthen architecture are proposed, in order to maintain the structural and cultural knowledge that these types of buildings can transfer to the future. © 2022, University of Cantabria - Building Technology R&D Group.

In Albania, the highlands often used stone whereas the lowlands and valleys, particularly those close to the coast, were more likely to employ adobe and bricks. In the coastal plain, due to the shortage of stone sources and the ease of accessing mud material nearby, mud bricks were largely used both for urban and rural buildings. Most of the earth architecture in Albania dates back to the Ottoman era. Other structures made of mud bricks were built up to the early 1990s. The majority of them have been demolished, abandoned, and fallen into ruin. Nowadays, traditional adobe building techniques are vanishing, because they are no longer used in modern constructions. Examining the theoretical foundations and structural components of Albania's traditional earthen architecture is the main goal of this study. The classification of earth architecture techniques used in various traditional building typologies is achieved by examining the spatial distribution of housing typologies, the structural components, and construction systems in different geographical locations. This study reports an assessment that is based on extensive in-situ research, including field survey, archival research, comprehensive pictures, recording of various adobe building types in Albania, and a literature review. Based on the collected data and critical assessments, this study intends to offer and document various earthen building typologies in Albania according to their spatial distribution in the plan, volume, construction methods, and material combinations. This knowledge may be subsequently utilized as vital information for new vernacular buildings or temporary structures. It aims to provide specific architectural principles and technical criteria for the use of earth in new structures or restoration of existing historical buildings. This study serves as a starting point for further research with the aim of producing an easy-to-follow guide with plans for earthen buildings, from little dwellings to larger ones, by employing several case studies across Albania. Due to the historical, social, and cultural significance of adobe architecture in Albania as well as its advantages in terms of the economy and environment, revitalizing, restoring, and preserving adobe architecture by improving its construction conditions can be an added value for sustainable future development. © 2022 by authors, all rights reserved.","Adobe Architecture; Mud Material; Preservation; Revitalization; Traditional Buildings",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Raulin, Henri, Konservimi dhe vendi qe ze ne kuadrin europian arkitektura shqiptare, kryesisht banesa qytetare dhe ajo e ndertuar me qerpiç Monumentet, 2, p. 65. , [1] Tirane; Sukaj, Isuf, (1998) Urbanistika dhe arkitektura e qytetit te Kavajes, veshtrim i zhvillimit historik, pp. 38-39. , Tirane; Muka, Ali, (2001) Banesa fshatare dhe familja e madhe, pp. 330-364. , Tirane, Akademia e Shkancave; Papanikolla, Ilia, (1983) Konstruksione Akitektonike, p. 87. , Tiranë; Muka, Ali, (2007) Ndërtimet tradicionale fshatare, p. 180. , Tirane, Akademia e Shkancave; Riza, Emin, (2009) Qyteti dhe banesa qytetare shqiptare shek XV-XIX, , Tiranë, Dita 2000; Stedman, Myrtle, Stedman, Wilfred, (2016) Adobe Architecture, A Simple Guide with Plans for Building with Earth, , Paperback, Sunstone Press, ISBN: 0865341117; Schifman, Melissa Rappaport, (2018) Building a Sustainable Home: Practical Green Design Choices for Your Health, Wealth, and Soul, p. 21. , Skyhorse Publishing, ISBN: 1510733442,9781510733442; Edizioni, ETS, (2011) TERRA EUROPAE-Earthen Architecture in Europe, pp. 98-186. , Belgium, ISBN 9788846729576; Minke, Gernot, (2006) Building with earth.

Repurposing this soil for the use of earthen architecture (EA) will reduce a considerable amount of this waste. However, little research has been conducted on how to assess the use of EA within the architectural, engineering, environmental and economic context, and in comparison with other construction system solutions. This paper presents the development of an integrated building information modelling (BIM) and life cycle assessment (LCA) framework to explore what advantages EA may have, based on the client's needs and the building's requirements. The decision-making conditions and criteria for the use of EA are firstly identified in an extensive literature review supported by interviews with decision-makers. A workflow is secondly proposed to apply a LCA evaluating the decision criteria in a BIM tool at the early-design stages. This method allows for the evaluation and comparison of choice criteria as functional requirements of the building and objectives set by the decision-makers. The flexibility of setting input parameters in this tool increases the visibility of the potential benefits of EA over other construction systems. Along with this approach, upcoming applications on case studies will aim to be replicable by designers, based on their practices and design tools, to support clients in their choice of using EA. © 2022 Institute of Physics Publishing.

Its different historical contexts required close collaboration among architects, archaeologists, Ministry of Heritage and Culture staff, local workers and students from Sultan Qaboos University (SQU). A central aim was to awaken the interest of the community and encourage them to play an active role in the conservation of local heritage sites. This and the technical solutions adopted are also a focus of the paper. Intangible cultural heritage should be considered to be an integral part of the site. A number of activities was undertaken to develop sustainable responses for the management of Omani cultural heritage: historical and ethnographic research into the traditional techniques of mudbrick and mud plaster construction, with visits to surrounding villages to identify Omani residents familiar with the process; information storage, images, and video interviews for a multi-level, potentially replicable approach; creation and implementation of guidelines for the conservation of the mudbrick walls; organization of site visits, awareness-raising activities for local students and interested community members; the training of two female SQU students in stratigraphic excavation and conservation of artifacts; and the use of state-of-the-art surveying and 3D modeling for the evaluation of interventions. The program at Salūt site, until the interruption due to the pandemic, has produced largely positive results, and the methodology developed here can promote recovery of other archaeological sites similar to Salūt. © The International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works 2022.","3D model; architectural heritage; drone survey; earthen architecture; knowledge transfer; mud plaster; Mudbrick; traditional masonry","3D modeling; Architecture; Deep learning; Digital storage; Drones; Historic preservation; Knowledge management; Personnel training; Stratigraphy; Students; Three dimensional computer graphics; 3D models; 3d-modeling; Architectural heritage; Drone survey; Earthen architectures; Knowledge transfer; Mud plaster; Mudbrick; Multi-disciplinary approach; Traditional masonries; Surveys",,,,,,"The authors would like to thank Prof. A.

To this end, earth-based mortars have traditionally been used and are common in historic houses. Their periodic replacement or repair is inevitable and intrinsic with their naturally sacrificial role, but restorations are also expected to follow suitability criteria, as well as minimum performance standards. In this paper, an approach to the reproduction of wall-finishes close to the original formulations found on historic buildings is proposed and described using the case study of a historic site in Brazil. The problem was addressed using the elemental composition data of a set of original mortars and a bank of local soils that were treated by multivariate statistical analysis. The final restoration mortars, that were obtained also by adjusting their granulometric profile by means of the mixture of sand, exhibited satisfactory performance in terms of adhesive strength and water absorption, as well as of resistance to water erosion when stabilized with lime. © 2022 Taylor & Francis.","Brazil; cultural heritage; earthen architecture; plasters; renders","Adhesives; Buildings; Cell proliferation; Historic preservation; Lime; Multivariant analysis; Restoration; Site selection; Water absorption; Brazil; Case reports; Cultural heritages; Earthen architectures; Earthen buildings; Historic house; Historic site; Performance standards; Plaster; Render; Mortar",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Alexiades, C.A., M.L, J., (1967), Chlorite determination clays of soils and mineral deposits.

Changes in these societies can threaten their cultural heritage, while research may be a tool for its conservation and enhancement. In this paper, the habitat of a Mossi community is therefore studied as a first stage in analysing the possibilities of its maintenance. Design/methodology/approach: After a previous study, data collection from a stay in Baasneere (Burkina Faso) and the analysis of 32 traditional residential units were completed. The research showed some common features which, when compared against the bibliography reviewed, could be defined as characteristic of the traditional architecture of this culture. Findings: The home for a family unit consisted in an enclosure formed by the grouping of adobe constructions around a courtyard. As the family grew so did the compound, in a relationship directly linking the scales of architecture and the levels of kinship. The main daily activities took place in the courtyards while the individual interior spaces were understood as private shelters. Other typologies such as granaries, kitchens, warehouses and sheds were also analysed. Originality/value: Some features of Mossi architecture already described in the existing bibliography were verified in the Baasneere case studies, showing that this tradition is still preserved.

Experimental mud bricks were manufactured emulating the ancient technique representative of the construction in that region by using the raw earth of the archaeological zone mixed with additives of different nature. The bricks’ cohesion was analysed by submitting them to mechanical stresses in compression mode. The effect of the inherent heterogeneity of hand-made bricks, along with the effect of the additive concentration on their mechanical behaviour, is discussed. Techniques such as determination of particle size, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, Scanning Electron Microscopy and total inorganic carbon-organic carbon were implemented for quantitative and qualitative measurement of the soil characteristics. Results indicate that synthetic additives provide better cohesion. Fracture analysis was monitored in real time by using acoustic emission technique in order to understand the mechanisms of failure. The main result is that the pre-Columbian recipe improves the mechanical performance of mud bricks, a knowledge important both for the conservation of the archaeological heritage architecture as well as for modern construction. © 2022 Taylor & Francis.","Earthen architecture;

Adobe buildings are widespread in Colombian rural and urban areas: as monumental buildings or informal housing, theyrepresents an immeasurable architectural and cultural heritage. Albeit high Colombian seismic risk, national building regulations do not include earthen architecture references. The paper analyzes the most frequent seismic subsidence mechanisms of earthen architecture, adobe building retrofitting and its seismic behavior improvement via specific interventions. The main goal is to associate possible causes—due to common local adobe building practices—with failure mechanisms, to deduce which retrofitting strategies could reduce seismic effects into adobe structures. The research innovation lies in the effectiveness and feasibility evaluation of the retrofitting strategies through “sustainability” indicators, based on literature quantitative and qualitative data, and strictly related to rural Colombian conditions. © 2021 Taylor & Francis.","Adobe buildings; Colombia; Earthen architecture; Reinforcement techniques; Seismic behavior; Suitable technologies; Vernacular heritage","Architecture; Building materials; Earthquakes; Failure (mechanical); Seismic response; Adobe building; Colombia; Colombians; Earthen architectures; Earthquake zones; Reinforcement technique; Seismic behaviour; Seismic retrofitting; Suitable technology; Vernacular heritage; Retrofitting; building; construction material; cultural heritage; failure mechanism; reinforcement; seismic response; seismic retrofit; subsidence; sustainability; tensile strength; Colombia",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Abdulla, K.F., Cunningham, L.S., Gillie, M., Out-of-plane strengthening of adobe masonry using hemp fibre ropes: An experimental investigation (2021) Engineering Structures, 245, p. 112931. , Science direct; Allahvirdizadeh, R., Oliveira, D.V., Silva, R.A., Numerical modeling of the seismic out-of-plane response of a plain and TRM-strengthened rammed earth subassembly (2019) Engineering Structures, 193, pp. 43-56. , Science direct, and; Angulo-Ibáñez, Q., Mas-Tomás, A., Galvañ-Llopis, V., Sántolaria-Montesinos, J., (2012) Traditional braces of earthen constructions, , Valencia: Construction and Building Materials, Elsevier; Aranguren, J., Vieux-Champagne, F., Duriez, M., Aubert, J.E., Experimental analysis of timber inclusions effect on paraseismic behavior of earth masonry walls (2020) Engineering Structures, 212, p. 110429. , Science direct; Ashby, M., (2012) Materials and the environment: Eco-informed material choice, , Butterworth-Heinemann-Elsevier; Avrami, E.C., Guillaud, H., Hardy, M., (2008) Terra literature review: An overview of research in earthen architecture conservation, , Los Angeles, CA: Getty Conservation Institute, and, eds; Blondet, M., (2010) Manual de construcción con adobe reforzado con geomallas, de viviendas de bajo costo saludables y seguras, , Lima, Perú: Pontificia Universidad Católica; Blondet, M., Torrealva, D., Villa García, G., Ginocchio, F., Madueño, I., Using industrial materials for the construction of safe adobe houses in seismic areas (2005) Proceedings of EarthBuild2005 International Earth Building Conference, p. 2005. , Sydney, Australia: January, 19 –21; Blondet, M., Vargas, J., Sosa, C., Soto, J., Peña, F., Chávez, M., Using mud injection and an external rope mesh to reinforce historical earthen buildings located in seismic areas (2014) In Proceedings of 9th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions, , Mexico City: National Autonomous University of Mexico, and, Mexico City, October 14-17 2014, ed; Blondet, M., Vargas-Neumann, J., Tarque, N., Iwaki, C., Construcción sismorresistente en tierra: La gran experiencia contemporánea de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (2011) Informes de la Construcción, 63 (523), pp. 41-50; Blondet, M., Vargas, Tarque, (2008), pp. 12-17. , J.,N.,.

On one hand the studies have been undertaken in the framework of a project concerning the conservation of rammed earth in the Iberian Peninsula, including criteria, techniques, results and perspectives and, on the other, by a project about the conservation and rehabilitation of traditional earthen architecture in the Iberian Peninsula, providing guidelines and tools for its sustainable intervention. In all cases the researchers’ efforts focused on enhancing new perspectives and opportunities for rural earthen buildings, analysing landscapes, contexts, constructive features, decay and problems.

Adobe, known also as dagga, ferey, cob, and by other names, is a variant in which clays and other sediments are combined with organic materials and formulated into discrete construction components, often in communities of practice for which adobe recipes, preparation, and application are integral to daily intersections of home and community. For archaeologists, community partners, and interested publics who wish to learn more about it, a large portion of this architectural culture is no longer visible above the surface but is accessible through archaeology. Yet low impact sampling, such as probing and test excavation, rarely reveals adobe features. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) allows a tantalizing and non-invasive perspective on subsurface adobe features; increasingly there is a buried structural landscape emerging at sites where adobe architecture prevailed. The case studies presented here from 18th and 19th century sites in central and southern California serve as a guide for further survey. © 2021 by the authors.

Yemen’s three World Heritage Sites have their particular significance, all of them representing a region with its own cultural background: Sanaa in the highlands, Zabid in the coastal Tihama, and Shibam in the remote desert valley of Hadramaut. Unlike the Old City of Sanaa, the two smaller sites struggle with the limited resources of low-developed hinterland. Both preserve a unique urban culture: Zabid with its many elements of elaborate artistry and a vernacular architecture highly adapted to tropical conditions, and Shibam as a dense structure of unique mud-built tower houses. Preservation in a background of poverty, weak capacities of official structures, and even war destruction risks can only succeed in connection with active engagement and commitment of the community, which however is heterogeneous and heritage preservation is not always their priority. Efficient strategies must therefore link local livelihood interests to preservation concerns. Market quarter and housing rehabilitation in both cities in last years had wide backing, supported income and resulted in visible upgrading of the very heart of these cities—showing locals recovery of historic structures has its potentials—even in the extreme conditions of Yemen. © 2021, The Author(s).","Earthen architecture; Heritage conservation; Shibam; Vernacular architecture; Yemen; Zabid",,,,,,"European Commission, EC","Cash for Work Project: Promoting Livelihood Opportunities of Urban Youth in Yemen, 2018–2021; initiated by UNESCO Gulf countries and Yemen, Doha/Qatar, and funded by the EU.","The Shibam Infrastructure Project (2008–2015) was initiated by PDHCY and funded by SFD, Sanaa (Yemen): It covered the renewal of sewage, water supply, electricity and telephone networks, including the pavement of the old city of Shibam.

Clay deposits in the country’s lowlands are utilized for baked clay bricks. Despite the ongoing campaign, the use of wood by some local brick producers is unfriendly to the environment. Recent research has called for alternative methods in order to reduce the cost and impact on the environment. Earlier efforts with compressed earth blocks were saddled with weight and a substantial use of cement for good surface texture and adequate resistance against surface erosion. This research explored the potentials of using an appropriate dose of clay (from Muhanzi), volcanic light aggregate (Amakoro, (from Musanze)), and cement to produce unbaked shelled compressed earth blocks (SCEB). SCEB is a compressed earth block with an outer shell and inner core of different cement content or materials, compressed into a unit block. The result is a masonry unit with a higher surface resistance, durability, and desirable architectural effect produced with a 60% reduction in cement content. A weight reduction of 12% was achieved with an optimum content of 33% of the volcanic lightweight aggregate. A cost reduction of 25% was recorded over conventional compressed earth brick walls and a 54% over sand‐cement block walls. Possible future trends were also identified with appreciable prospects in earthen architecture. © 2021 by the authors.

The traditional concept of constant upkeep is arguably the only way of efficiently preserving ancient structures. However, different mud plaster compositions were tested which could provide a better aspect and a lower static load on the structures. The work strategy was meant to be sustainable from an economic, ecological, and sociological point of view, as it also aimed at documenting and hopefully reviving the traditional earthen architecture currently endangered by the disinterest of younger generations. © 2021, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia..

Shortly afterwards, between 1966 and 1968, its medieval crofts were investigated under the direction of archaeologist Lawrence Butler. At the time this was one of the most ambitious excavations of a deserted medieval settlement to have been conducted and, although the results were only published as interim reports and summaries, Butler's observations at Faxton were to have significant influence on the growing academic and popular literature about village origins and desertion and the nature of medieval peasant crofts and buildings. In contrast to regions with abundant building stone, Faxton revealed archaeological evidence of a long tradition of earthen architecture in which so-called 'mud-walling' was successfully combined with other structural materials. The 'rescue' excavations at Faxton were originally promoted by the Deserted Medieval Village Research Group and funded by the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works after the extensive earthworks at the site came under threat from agriculture. Three areas were excavated covering seven crofts. In 1966 Croft 29 at the south-east corner of the village green revealed a single croft in detail with its barns, yards and corn driers; in 1967 four crofts were examined together in the north-west corner of the village in an area badly damaged by recent ploughing and, finally, an area immediately east of the church was opened up in 1968. In all, some 4000m2 were investigated in 140 days over three seasons. The post-excavation process for Faxton was beset by delay. Of the 12 chapters presented in this monograph, only two were substantially complete at the time of the director's death in 2014. The others have had to be pieced together from interim summaries, partial manuscripts, sound recordings, handwritten notes and on-site records. Building on this evidence, a new team of scholars have re-considered the findings in order to set the excavations at Faxton into the wider context of modern research. Their texts reflect on the settlement's disputed pre-Conquest origins, probable later re-planning and expansion, the reasons behind the decline and abandonment of the village, the extraordinary story behind the destruction of its church, the development of the open fields and the enclosure process, as well as new evidence about Faxton's buildings and the finds discovered there. Once lauded, then forgotten, the excavations at Faxton now make a new contribution to our knowledge of medieval life and landscape in the East Midlands. © 2021 The Society for Medieval Archaeology and authors.

With the aim of incorporating it into historical research as another social product, the result of the society that thinks and builds it, a research project was initiated with the title ""Building Tartessos: constructive, spatial and territorial analysis of an architectural model in the central Guadiana valley."" This project has three well-differentiated work phases whose development and applied methodology are described in the following pages. The purpose of this method is to identify the types of construction, to characterize the raw materials used and their catchment areas, the construction techniques employed, the types of analysis carried out for the mineralogical characterization of the materials, and to present the 3D technology applied to the documentation and registration of the buildings, from photogrammetry to the virtual reconstruction of the archaeological sites. The final objective is to streamline the process, the data collection and the documentation obtained from all of them, from both a purely scientific and informative perspective, improving the publication of scientific knowledge and education through the application of new methodologies. In order to carry out this process, the Tartessian buildings hidden beneath burial mounds characteristic of the central basin of the Guadiana, dating from the 5th century BC, have been selected. Specifically, we have the excavations being carried out in the area of Casas del Turuñuelo (Guareña, Badajoz), which to date is the best preserved building in the western area of the Mediterranean, and which will undoubtedly lead to a positive result from the project. The aim of the methodology that has been designed is that it can be applied to any architectural model and to any stage of history. © Authors 2020.

Therefore, the cultural importance of rural architecture in this context is remarkable both locally for each society and generally for human knowledge. As Paul Oliver pointed out, vernacular architecture is the architectural language of people with their ethnic, regional and local dialects (Oliver, 1997), and it should be considered a treasure containing the knowledge, development and progress of a civilization. The formal and material results of this development lead to the reopening of the debate on its sustainability and its effects on human behaviour. The structural changes of rural habitats are putting the preservation of their cultural heritage at serious risk. The current demand for habitability fosters the use of imported materials such as cement and sheet metal to replace earthen walls and straw roofing in the simple constructions, solutions that deceptively improve the comfort of the inhabited spaces. The present article analyses residential construction typologies of traditional rural settlements of Togo, where the constructive, formal and technical variety is replaced by general solutions that, without achieving the desired housing improvement, are nonetheless contributing to the social detachment from traditions that represent the cultural identity of each community. The methodology aims at the identification and characterization of traditional residential typologies, and a final consideration evaluates the balance between sustainable development and the conservation of cultural values in rural settlements. © Authors 2020.

Grenoble Alpes, France","In 2018, a guide to the attention of the local governments has been published by CRAterre, entitled « Guide à destination des collectivités territoriales pour la réhabilitation et la valorisation du bâti en pisé ». It is one of the main results of a four years projects funded by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region on traditional rammed earth buildings that included researches on the geographical repartition, the variety of typologies, the state of conservation and the potential for sustainable development in the Region. It contains an organised series of recommendations and tools that could be implemented for the identification and revitalisation of rammed-earth vernacular heritage at a local level. These have been prepared as a response to the overall assessment made which revealed high potential and responsibility on the part of local governments to protect this heritage, promote continuity of its uses and to disseminate good rehabilitation practices. This paper presents the participative approach adopted for both the research process and the elaboration of the guide. That resulted in developing some original contents to the attention of the variety of groups of stakeholders. These were tested in the field and gradually improved taking into account the interactions with the local politicians and actors. The paper also covers a reflection on further dissemination of the knowledge developed for applications at a wider scale. © Authors 2020.

This action aims to provide the technological and scientific support needed for the construction of anti-seismic housing taking into consideration environmental, socio-cultural, and socio-economic sustainability as key factors for the project. Students from Kathmandu University are taking part in a series of experimental constructive actions in the town of Dhulikhel, aiming to provide a response to the major constructive problems and limitations of local housing (as starkly highlighted by the 2015 Ghorka earthquake). This paper aims to present the initial results of the project and some possible perspectives and actions to be specified in its final year. Basically, the design efforts are being aimed at the promotion of an architecture taking inspiration from local Nepalese architecture, as a sign of identity which is safer in the event of ground movement, and more sustainable in terms of production and execution than conventional constructions whose format and technology have been imported from Europe. © Authors 2020.

Considering that the evolution of building has not been shaped by architects, but by certain social, political and economic contexts, means reading the history of architecture not on the basis of a scientific production carried out in individual graphic elaborations, but by communitarian reflections and awareness. In this sense, architecture is free from aprioristic thought, and not constrained by a tension that starts from the final form, but generated by the constructive process that progressively occupies the space defining a place. Two fundamental questions are connected to the mediation of design in the project conception (and its possible lack): the first concerns the authorship of the work that is the need -found by Vasari for the first time- to identify an architect and his cultural context in order to attribute meaning and value to a building. The second theme, on the other hand, is closely linked to the constructive reasons and processes that generate a type of participatory architecture, sometimes without overall planning and graphic design representation. This is the case of earthen architecture, its evolutions and the approach to this technique in the contemporary culture. © 2020, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.","Earthen architecture; Graphic mediation; Spontaneous architecture",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Campos, C., Cirafici, A., Fiorentino, C.C., Del acontecimiento al indumento: Traducciones intersemióticas y diseño contemporáneo (2018) Proceedings CIMODE 2018: 4º Congresso Internacional De Moda E Design; Corrado, M., (2017) Quando l’architettura Non La Facevano Gli Architetti, , http://larchitetto-nella-foresta-design.blogautore.repubblica.it/; Fathy, H., (1986) Costruire Con La Gente, , Jaca Book, Milano; Gregotti, V., (2008) Il Territorio dell’architettura, , Feltrinelli, Milano; Minke, G., (2006) Building with Earth, , Birkhäuser – Publishers for Architecture, Basel; Ratti, C., (2014) Architettura Open Source, , Einaudi, Torino; Rudofsky, B., (1964) Architecture without Architects: A Short Introduction to Non-Pedigreed Architecture, , Doubleday, New York; Vasari, G., Le vite dei più eccellenti pittori, scultori e architetti (2015) Edizioni La Biblioteca Digitale, , Firenze; http://www.ar-co.org/it/progetti/realizzati/terra/index.php","Palmieri, A.; Department of Architecture and Industrial Design, Italy; email: alice.palmieri@unicampania.it",,,"Springer Nature",,,,,26618184,,,,"English","Springer.

The main aim is to foster interdisciplinary research, combining building archaeology, ethnoarchaeology and postcolonial theories to shed lights on understudied aspects of earthen architecture. This contribution also presents the case for a more participative form of archaeology based on community engagement as a key aspect in the analysis of the architecture from archaeological contexts. The chapter addresses two major questions: What is the impact of postcolonial theories on the analysis of earthen architecture in building archaeology? How have gender and subaltern studies improved our understanding of the construction process and overcome pre-existing discipline bias?. © 2020, The Author(s).","African archaeology; Building archaeology; Decolonization; Earthen architecture; Gender",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Arceneaux, K.D., (1989) The Script-Analogue and Its Application in Architectural Analysis: The Relationship of African Women to African Traditional Architecture.

This has led to the creation of management tools which, using the defensive earthen architecture of the southeast Iberian Peninsula as their reference and adopting the guidelines set out in the various National Plans, contribute to a more thorough study with regards to its preventive conservation. The study presents findings from the development of an innovative risk assessment protocol founded on sustainability criteria and which is designed to facilitate decisions on protection, conservation and appraisal by the corresponding administration and agencies involved in protecting these sites. The model is logical and operational, sufficient to determine the real risk to these structures, and integrates information regarding their vulnerability and hazardous conditions at the sites where they are located. The determination of risk is made via an assessment of the different, aggregated risk factors present in a specific geographical area. This methodology is applied in the Torre de Rijana case study, which examines a watchtower located on the Granada province coast in Spain and which is protected by Spanish Historical Heritage legislation, with the highest available generic award, as a consequence of its significant heritage value. The protocol allows for a multidisciplinary analysis of its heritage characteristics, an analysis of the risk factors, assesses to what extent it is vulnerable to them, takes into account the area where it is located, as well as its derived state of conservation. It also allows for the creation of preventive measures Action Maps from specific Risk Maps, whilst simultaneously establishes how to prioritise actions, thus promoting sustainable conservation with minimum economic investment and creating an efficient maintenance programme. © 2020, University of Cantabria - Building Technology R&D Group.

Four volumes, principally investigating Mississippian polities, draw our attention to the American midcontinent and its earthen monuments, magical plants, rock art, sacra, and sacred shrines. Although spanning a diversity of approaches and perspectives, the authors demonstrate how cosmograms, exotic objects, sacred landscapes, and transcendental beings articulate with people’s daily lives and lived experiences. Each work offers an awareness of religion as expressed through materiality and the ways past belief systems were bundled, constituted, entangled, and intermeshed with agentive things, built landscapes, humans, natural environments, and other-than-human-persons. The fifth book, by Brian Hayden, contributes a significant approach to these ongoing discussions by stressing the importance of secret societies for interpreting and understanding the power of ritual in the ancient world. © 2020, © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.","Mississippian; religion; ritual; rock art; secret societies; shrines; social institutions; sodalities",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Abdelnour, S., Hasselbladh, H., Kallinikos, J., Agency and Institutions in Organization Studies (2017) Organization Studies, 38 (12), pp. 1775-1792; Alt, S.M., (2018), Cahokias Complexities: Ceremonies and Politics of the First Mississippian Farmers.

Transdisciplinary and intercultural teaching and learning methods provided international students with a holistic view of system contexts and changes and enabled them to analyze and reflect on them. Based on the project results, this chapter discusses transformation processes in Agdz in the course of global change, which pose new challenges for the region. We examine aspects of oasis agriculture, water use, traditional earthen architecture, and the Ahwash ritual, an intangible cultural heritage of the Imazighen. Moreover, we discuss the extent to which transdisciplinarity and interculturality can contribute to a better understanding of the system and foster mediation processes, and what role music and dance play in these. This takes place against the background of the overarching objective of sustainable rural development and socio-ecological resilience. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.","Inquiry-based learning; Interculturality; North–South dialogue; Socio-ecological system; Southeast Morocco; Sustainable development; Transdisciplinarity",,,,,,"Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, DAAD","We would like to express our sincerest thanks to the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the German Federal Foreign Office for funding the Atlas Workshops project.

While studies on natural hazards have been carried out concerning these castles or lookout towers, there are no studies on defensive walls. Both are certainly significant from a cultural heritage perspective, despite the fact that the latter are less popular for the general public. In Southeast Spain, most of this kind of architecture has been affected, and occasionally reconstructed, by destructive earthquakes and/or landslides, in accordance with historical chronicles or field evidence, however, there are no records of low-scale natural hazards. Hence, aware of the importance of the prevention of natural hazards regarding the conservation of the cultural heritage, a National Emergency and Risk Management Plan for the Cultural Heritage, a National Plan for Preventive Conservation as well as a National Plan for Defensive Architecture have been enacted by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. According to these plans, a risk charter, including natural and man-made hazards, should be completed in order to improve investment programming. Cultural heritage risk and cultural assets maps should be connected in order to become an instrument for managing preventive conservation. Natural hazards studies should be conducted in order to protect cultural heritage, though they are not usually performed, most likely due to their cost. However, some natural hazards studies have been published in scientific journals, mainly signed by university researchers or various Spanish research institutions such as the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain. Some of them, including the Spanish Seismic Network or the old Ministry of Environment (currently known as the Ministry for Ecological Transition), have published several hazard and risk maps which can be usually used in GIS format. Yet, most of them are not even known by researchers on cultural heritage due to the different administrative levels in charge of natural hazards. In this paper, some recommendations to prevent natural hazards in medieval defensive earthen architecture will be discussed. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.",,"Earth sciences; Historic preservation; Investments; Maps; Network architecture; Risk management; Earthen architectures; Ministry of Education; Ministry of environments; National emergencies; Preventive conservation; Research institutions; Risk management plans; University researchers; Hazards",,,,,"Medieval Academy of America; European Regional Development Fund, ERDF","This study is part of a project entitled (BIA2015 69938-R) 'Sustainable Methodology for the Conservation and Maintenance of Medieval Rammed-earth Fortifications in the South-East of the Iberian Peninsula' funded by the State Research Agency (SRA) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).","This study is part of a project entitled (BIA2015 69938-R) “Sustainable Methodology for the Conservation and Maintenance of Medieval Rammed-earth Fortifications in the South-East of the Iberian Peninsula” funded by the State Research Agency (SRA) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).",,,,,,,,,"(2015) Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport:""Plan Nacional de Catedrales (National Plan for Cathedrals), , Institute of Cultural Heritage of Spain (In Spanish); (2015) Plan Nacional de Abadías, Monasterios y Conventos (National Plan for Abbeys, Monasteries and Convents), , Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport: Institute of Cultural Heritage of Spain (In Spanish); (2015) Plan Nacional de Paisaje Cultural (National Plan for Cultural Landscape), , Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.

This built project is the largest and most challenging to date - in terms of engineering and on-site fabrication of large elements - compared to previous pavilion-size structures using the same drone architecture referred to as 'bioshotcrete'. The Terramia project consists of three different shells, each built with lightweight lost formworks involving clusters of bamboo rods and textiles, subsequently drone-sprayed, thus offering variations in terms of techniques and results. Different noncementitious mortars composed of clay, sand, fibers and water are carefully formulated to match the capabilities of the drone spray apparatus while still achieving homogeneous layers and good adhesion. The mortars are sprayed following a precise sequence specific to the mix type, proportions and corresponding drying time. The design and engineering of the shells were tailored to the concept of using actively bent bamboo as falsework to create natural mortar, compression-only structures. The project also provided the opportunity to map the drone spraying trajectory in real-time and to identify optimum values for parameters such as distance to the surface, angles and speed. These new processes, developed by a multidisciplinary team, could open up a new page in the shotcrete industry and allow earthen architecture to be used in large urban contexts. In addition, it could result in increased affordability of architectural freeform envelopes.

The paper will discuss how to assess the engineering limitations of earthen architecture and the challenges faced by its development. As with any construction materials, it is crucial to know the limitations of the material to design and build safely.

In the 20th century, some progressive social communities saw earth as one of the answers to their building experiments. Contemporary ecological tendencies are rooted in these early experimental houses. Especially the number of experimental family houses designed using passive strategies and renewable materials have increased. Often the earth material, with its low environmental impact, is involved in the construction process. Building qualities include both pleasant living spaces and comfort in terms of better indoor climate. During the last few years new developments towards industrialized earthen building components can be seen.

The use of rammed earth was not as spread as adobe and framework. Nevertheless, it has been identified in Mexico’s central area, where this research was conducted. In this region, several factors influenced the use of rammed earth, such as weather conditions, water scarcity, raw materials availability and worker’s skills. The present research evaluated the technical, constructive and morphological characteristics of rammed earth in Mexico and identified some of its peculiarities and differences, which correlated with the technological development of the region. These characteristics were strongly influenced by environmental and historical conditions.

It was settled in 1560 under the Spanish law for colonization in the New World. The urban grid and its dynamics remained intact until the 1940s when interests to appear as a modern city began. This along with the replacement of historical buildings by new edifications, the displacement of residential uses, and the increase of tertiary uses, broke the dynamism of the neighborhoods and the loss of identity of its inhabitants. In order to return to the roots which gave rise to Tuxtla, and in the absence of a protection model that values and recognizes its existing earthen vernacular architectural heritage, the methodology to establish a specific cataloguing system for the analysis and assessment of this heritage is proposed for one of the most devastated neighborhoods of the historical center. © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, London.",,"Sustainable development; Architectural heritage; Historical buildings; Historical centers; Me-xico; Protection models; Architecture",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Ayuntamiento, H., Constitucional De Tuxtla Gutiérrez, , 1999.

Building with earth can reduce environmental impacts of construction while expressing unique local geophysical characteristics. From a design perspective, earthen materials can be used by architects to express “genus loci” or “spirit of place” that is emerging as a critical aspect of sustainability. Paradoxically, as the popularity of contemporary earth architecture grows, many current inhabitants of traditional earthen housing are abandoning their traditional dwellings in favour of materials more aligned with conventional notions of progress. The paper investigates the reasons behind these trends of adoption and rejection of earthen architecture, and speculates about the role of architectural design in changing perceptions about earthen materials. © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, London.",,"Environmental impact; Housing; Sustainable development; Contemporary architectures; Earthen architectures; Global population; Traditional dwellings; Architecture",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"http://www.lavoutenubienne.org, Association la Voute Nubienne website, accessed April 9, 2017 at; Avrami, E., Guillaud, H., Hardy, M., (2008) Terra Literature review—an Overview of Research in Earthen Architecture Conservation.

This secular symbiosis between built environment and ecosystem is nowadays threatened by an inadequate urban development. Socioeconomic changes have given way to uncontrolled introduction of inappropriate building materials and equipments, which have pushed the occupants of Taghit away from the ksar. This situation is causing multiple damages to the buildings and the ruin of most of the town.

We will put in contact two territories in Western Europe: the Campiña Segoviana in Spain, where earthen vernacular heritage is generally suffering from bad conservation practices, and Isère, in France, were we can find many actors gradually improving the conservation of earthen constructions. We will focus in some examples of how professionals and practitioners are in the core of this positive evolution. © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, London.",,"Technology transfer; Conservation practices; Earthen constructions; Heritage and conservations; Industrial solutions; Western Europe; Sustainable development",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Guillaud, H., Moriset, S., Sánchez Muñoz, N., Sevillano Gutiérrez, E., (2014) Versus: Lessons from Vernacular Heritage to Sustainable Architecture, , Villefontaine: CRAterre; Hoz, O.J., Maldonado, R.L., Vela, C.F., (2003) Diccionario De construcción Tradicional: Tierra.

Although prestigious rehabilitations are undertaken on major historic buildings, common dwellings, which compose the majority of the city centre, are in poor condition and gradually abandoned. In this context, earthen conservation works are particularly difficult because of poor interest on earthen material, lack of arguments and incentives for conservation of earthen architecture, difficult materials supply and lack of technical skills on earthen architecture.

Rather than assuming a priori that these were elite spaces, current research into the earthen mounds of the late pre-Contact period (AD 1000-1400) of the American Midcontinent suggests these mounds were monuments of empowerment. Incorporating indigenous ontologies into the study of mound construction suggests that the act of gathering powerful elements (earth, water, fire) along with narrations of deep history (e.g., origin and ancestor-deity traditions) is an empowering act through which elite statuses were (re)constructed and maintained. © Archaeopress, UISPP and authors 2016.","Earthen architecture; Elite; Mississippian; Power",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Alberti, A., Fowles, S., Holbraad, M., Marshall, Y., Whitmore, C., 'Worlds Otherwise': Archaeology, Anthropology, and Ontological Difference (2011) Current Anthropology, 52 (6), pp. 896-912; Alt, S.M., (2006) Cultural Pluralism and Complexity: Analyzing a Cahokian Ritual Outpost, , Unpublished Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Anthropology.

The results reveal that NaCl enhanced the water retention ability of soil. With increasing salt content, time needed for specimens to reach equilibrium with the environment increased, and the durations of the initial stage and the falling stage of the evaporation process also changed. A smoother and flatter evaporation rate curve was observed in specimen with higher salt content. Image analysis was employed for evaluating the development of drying cracks during the test. Geometric parameters including CIF, the number of intersections and segments and total crack length were analyzed. All parameters decreased in higher salt content specimens, indicating a more extensive cracking in salt-free soil. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London.",,"Deterioration; Evaporation; Sodium chloride;

The mechanism of surface deterioration keeps unknown because of the longevity and complexity in weathering. This paper selects the road cuts in loess soil deposits exposed to natural weathering for many years as an analogy to investigate the effects of sun radiation direction, soluble salts and grain size on earthen monument deterioration. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) shows that surface particles with lamelliformwere arranged in an imbricate pattern. Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP) results indicate that pore diameters of theweathered surface soil show a distinctly bimodal distribution, while the unweathered soil shows an unimodal distribution in pore diameter. This means that one part of the pore diameters become larger while some others become smaller than the unweathered soil. The former can be attributed to the leaching out of soluble salts in surface soil by rain, whereas the latter can be attributed to the sedimentation of atmospheric dust into the pores of surface soil. The evolution model of soil pore structures under weathered condition provides another explanation to the surface deterioration of earthen monuments. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London.",,"Pore structure; Radiation effects; Salts; Scanning electron microscopy; Soil mechanics; Soils; Weathering; Bimodal distribution; Evolution modeling; Mercury intrusion porosimetry; Natural weathering; Surface deterioration; Surface fracturing; Surface particles; Unimodal distribution; Deterioration",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Bui, Q.B., Morel, J.C., Reddy, B., Durability of rammed earth walls exposed for 20 years to natural weathering (2009) Building and Environment, 44 (5), pp. 912-919; Chen, Y., Tarchitzky, J., Brouwer, J., Scanning electron microscope observations on soil crusts and their formation (1980) Soil Science, 130 (1), pp. 49-55; Delage, P., Tessier, D., Marcel-Audiguier, M., Use of the Cryoscan apparatus for observation of freeze-fractured planes of a sensitive Quebec clay in scanning electron microscopy (1982) Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 19 (1), pp. 111-114; Jiang, M., Zhang, F., Hu, H., Structural characterization of natural loess and remolded loess under triaxial tests (2014) Engineering Geology, 181, pp. 249-260; Rossi-Manaresi, R., Tucci, A., Pore structure and the disruptive or cementing effect of salt crystallization in various types of stone (1991) Studies in Conservation, 36 (1), pp. 53-58",,"Chen Z.Wei C.Sun D.Xu Y.",,"CRC Press/Balkema","6th Asia-Pacific Conference on Unsaturated Soil Mechanics from Theory to Practice, AP-UNSAT 2015","23 October 2015 through 26 October 2015",,160009,,9781138029217,,,"English","Unsaturated Soil Mech.

Similar attempts had a certain response to the social needs and economic situation there.

Secondly, refurbishing existing houses envelopes to follow the basic environmental considerations. Both categories respect the sustainability dimensions; the social contexts, economic levels of occupants, beside the attention toward the technical and environmental improvements of earth in the future.","Aspects sociaux et économiques; Building materials; Earthen envelopes; Matériaux de construction; Refurbishment; Rénovation; Social and economic aspects.

Archaeology, on the other hand, can provide the longue durée perspective on past and sometimes lost traditions that may be significant as modern sustainable strategies. This paper presents archaeological cases of long-standing traditional knowledge in agriculture and construction in the humid tropical lowlands of the Mexican Gulf Coast, which were lost about ad 1000 through episodes of cultural conflict. The first case concerns the agricultural use of wetlands for the intensive production of commercial and subsistence crops (cotton and maize). The second case is monumental earthen architecture, including pyramids and palaces, apparently achieved by using petroleum derivatives as an earth stabilizer. Besides evidencing sustainable practices, archaeology also provides the economical and socio-political context in which such labor-intensive strategies evolved and thrived for centuries. This context analysis allows cost–benefit concerns to be approached, if the reintroduction of such alternative technologies were contemplated in a modern market-oriented world. © 2015, © 2015 Taylor & Francis.","earthen architecture; intensive agriculture; pre-Columbian archaeology; technology; tradition",,,,,,"Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, CONACYT: 27793; Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, UNAM: IN300812 (2012–14; Dirección General de Asuntos del Personal Académico, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, DGAPA, UNAM: IN300812; Fondo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, FONACYT","This work was supported by Mexico’s Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACyT) [individual grant 27793 H (1999–2000)]; Programa de Apoyo a Proyectos de Investigación e Innovación Tecnológica of the Dirección General de Asuntos del Personal Académico (DGAPA) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico [grant IN300812 (2012–14)].","The archaeological data presented in this paper were obtained in my capacity as researcher of the Institute of Anthropological Research of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), during several field seasons of the project ?Exploraciones en el Centro de Veracruz?, with the permission of the Mexican Council of Archaeology of the Instituto Nacional de Antropolog?a e Historia (INAH).

In April 2006, the GCI’s Earthen Architecture Initiative (EAI) hosted an international colloquium, in order to assess the impact and efficacy of the GSAP. The participants concluded that the GSAP methodology was reliable and effective, but its reliance on high-tech materials and professional expertise was a deterrent to its wider implementation. In response to these conclusions, the EAI initiated, in 2010, the Seismic Retrofitting Project (SRP) with the objective of adapting the GSAP guidelines, so that they better matched the equipment, materials, and technical skills available in many countries with earthen buildings.

Peru was selected as the project’s location, due to its current and historical knowledge and professional interest in the conservation of earthen sites. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.",,"Retrofitting; Software testing; Testing; Earthen architectures; Earthen buildings; High-tech materials; Laboratory testing; Professional expertise; Seismic Performance; Seismic retrofitting; Technical skills; Seismology",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Cancino, C., (2011) Damage Assessment of Historic Earthen Buildings after the August 15, , 2007 Pisco, Peru Earthquake.

Nevertheless the approach proposed in the Guidelines can be applied to other earthen-architecture technologies too. Nowadays part of the rammed earth heritage is lost due to neglect and to the idea that a new house, made of ""performing"" contemporary materials, is synonymous with better living and architectural quality. But something is changing: the growing attention of the Public Administration and the ever more pressing environmental problems demand a more sustainable approach to the building process. The Guidelines evolved on the basis of these thoughts. The starting point is the belief that keeping this heritage alive means keeping it inhabited. To make it possible it is necessary to reintroduce earthen heritage into the normal real estate cycle. This step is not automatic since in the last decades, both the knowledge and the technical know-how were lost, due to the interruption in memory. The Guidelines goal is contributing to fill this gap.

In the State of Chiapas there are a significant number of earth-based constructions due to the significant percentage of indigenous groups concentrated in that area. Due to migration and the arrival of new industrial materials, the community has gradually abandoned its earth-based building tradition. This has caused the ebbing away of its architectural heritage and traditional knowhow. The publication of a self-building manual would be a possible solution. It should meet the needs of the people, minimize costs and curtail the intervention of specialized workers. It would help conserve the earthen architectural heritage of this area and aid the passing on of this tradition's methods to the next generation. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group.",,"Building materials; Sustainable development; Technology transfer; Architectural heritage; Ethnic groups; Industrial materials; Me-xico; Architecture",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Gernot, M., (2005) Manual de Construcción en Tierra.

But these processes are slow which complicates its application in restoration. This is why people often chose to use cement as a plaster or stabilizer but, when time passes it causes unexpected reactions due to its high stiffness, impermeability and soluble salts developing. For this reason in the UAM-Xochimilco the use of puzzolanic substances in combination with lime it is testing in order to reduce the time for soil stabilization as well as improving its resistance, avoiding cement's collateral problems. This paper details the results of different comparative experiments focused on measuring the structural strength and moisture resistance of soil stabilized with lime, zeolites, volcanic ashes and powdered brick, in order to be used in earthen heritage architecture restoration and in contemporary building. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group.",,"Architecture; Cements; Lime; Lime brick; Restoration; Soil mechanics; Sustainable development; Chemical stabilization; Comparative experiments; Earthen architectures; Earthen constructions; Heritage architectures; Moisture resistance; Soil stabilization; Structural strength; Stabilization",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Soil-cement stabilization (1953) Concrete Quarterly, 20, pp. 2-9. , Cement and Concrete Association London; De Oliveira, M., Santiago, C., D'Affonseca, S., The study of accelerated carbonation of lime-stabilized soils (1990) International Conference on the Conservation on Earthen Architecture, pp. 166-170. , Los Angeles: The Getty Conservation Institute-US/ICOMOS; De Oliveira, M., O solo-cal: Uma visão histórica e documental (2005) Memorias del IV SIACOT-IIIATP, pp. 106-110. , Monsaraz: Escola Superior Gallaecia; Fernández, C., (1982) Mejoramiento y Estabilización de Suelos, , México D.F.: LIMUSA; Guerrero, L., Tierra y cal (2007) Anuario de Estudios de Arquitectura 2007, , UAM-Azcapotzalco, México D.F; Guerrero, L., Arquitectura en tierra.

Typically associated with biological evolution, this concept can equally be applied to the evolution of culture - e.g. the concept of the meme, as a cultural equivalent to the biological gene. In this paper, earthen architecture is viewed through the dual evolutionary lenses of gradual speciation and punctuated equilibrium.

Although the whole city was moved, the urban and technological characteristics were exactly the same as those of the original settlement. Among the remains of that first settlement, low parts of walls and foundations built with tapia (rammed earth technique) can be found. The new city of Santa Fe also preserves its earthen architectural heritage, such as Convento de San Francisco (monastery), Casa de los Aldao (private residence) and Casa de los Diez de Andino (private residence). In Santa Rosa de Calchines, a town located between the former city of Santa Fe and the current one, a programme is being carried out with the purpose of recovering the ancient knowledge that resulted from the merge of aboriginal and European cultures. This project involves training, building, recovering, and teaching; and it also requires the joint effort of the community, the government, and the university. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group.",,"Sustainable development; Architectural heritage; Private residence; Rammed earth; San Francisco; Technological characteristics; Architecture",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Calvo, L.M., (1999) Revista América, (15); Kaufmann, R., Hitos de santa fe la vieja (2000) II Conference on Litoral History, , http://www.santafelavieja.ceride.gov.ar/Historia.htm, Santa Fe, 2000, www.jpeh.ceride.gov.ar/lacasadelosaldao/descarga.doc",,,"TARMA;Tragsa Grupo","Taylor and Francis - Balkema","VerSus 2014 / 2nd Mediterra / 2nd ResTapia - International Conference on Vernacular Heritage, Sustainability and Earthen Architecture","11 September 2014 through 13 September 2014","Valencia",107251,,9781138026827,,,"English","Vernac.

The island possesses numerous finds, dating back to periods ranging from pre-history to the Hellenistic-Roman age, during which adobe was a widespread technique. The archaeological field had been the only one investigated, also due to the fact that more recent evidence had shown that the use of earth as a principal element in wall-building was unknown in Sicily. Recently, traces of adobe have been discovered in the historical centre of Cefalù, on the northern coast of Sicily; these few scraps are to be found in residential buildings made primarily of stone. Albeit modest in quantity, these traces are important for our historical knowledge and to reinforce the hypothesis of contemporary earthen architecture in Sicily. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London, UK.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Bertagnin, M., (1999) Architetture di terra in Italia.

Nevertheless the approach proposed in the Guidelines can be applied to other earthen-architecture technologies too. Nowadays part of the rammed earth heritage is lost due to neglect and to the idea that a new house, made of “performing” contemporary materials, is synonymous with better living and architectural quality. But something is changing: the growing attention of the Public Administration and the ever more pressing environmental problems demand a more sustainable approach to the building process. The Guidelines evolved on the basis of these thoughts. The starting point is the belief that keeping this heritage alive means keeping it inhabited. To make it possible it is necessary to reintroduce earthen heritage into the normal real estate cycle. This step is not automatic since in the last decades, both the knowledge and the technical know-how were lost, due to the interruption in memory. The Guidelines goal is contributing to fill this gap. This paper illustrates the project that led to the development of the Rammed earth restoration guidelines. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London, UK.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Barozzi, P., Le Trunere della Frascheta nella piana di Alessandria (1975) L’Universo, (3). , IGM; Bertagnin, M., (1992) Il pisè e la regola.

A compared analysis of these cases allows us to take a preliminary look at the conservation of earthen architecture in this country and understand it also as a useful experience in other geographic and cultural contexts. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London, UK.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Adler, R.S., (2009) Weathering The Storm: Diagnostic Monitoring For Preventive Conservation At Spruce Tree House, Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado, , University of Pennsylvania; Aloiz, E.M., (2011) Investigations into a Historic Treatment: The Efficacy of Gelatin as an Adhesive for Earthen Finishes at Mesa Verde National Park, , University of Pennsylvania; Arnon, N., Baca, S., Churches, symbols of community: The preservation of New Mexico’s adobe churches (1990) 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture, pp. 143-148. , Los Angeles: The Getty Conservation Institute; Austin, G.S., Adobe and related building materials in New Mexico, U.S.A (1990) 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture, pp. 417-423. , Los Angeles: The Getty Conservation Institute; Beas Guerrero, M.I., Consolidation of traditional plasters: A laboratory research (1993) 7a Conferência Internacional sobre o Estudo e Conservação da Arquitectura de Terra, pp. 410-416. , Lisboa: Direcção Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais; Bunting, B., (1964) Taos Adobes.

But these processes are slow which complicates its application in restoration. This is why people often chose to use cement as a plaster or stabilizer but, when time passes it causes unexpected reactions due to its high stiffness, impermeability and soluble salts developing. For this reason in the UAM-Xochimilco the use of puzzolanic substances in combination with lime it is testing in order to reduce the time for soil stabilization as well as improving its resistance, avoiding cement’s collateral problems. This paper details the results of different comparative experiments focused on measuring the structural strength and moisture resistance of soil stabilized with lime, zeolites, volcanic ashes and powdered brick, in order to be used in earthen heritage architecture restoration and in contemporary building. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London, UK.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Soil-cement stabilization (1953) Concrete Quarterly, 20, pp. 2-9. , London; De Oliveira, M., Santiago, C., D’Affonseca, S., The study of accelerated carbonation of lime-stabilized soils (1990) International Conference on the Conservation on Earthen Architecture, pp. 166-170. , Los Angeles: The Getty Conservation Institute-US/ICOMOS; De Oliveira, M., O solo-cal: Uma visão histórica e documental (2005) Memorias del IV SIACOT-IIIATP, pp. 106-110. , Monsaraz: Escola Superior Gallaecia; Fernández, C., (1982) Mejoramiento y estabilización de suelos, , México D.F.: LIMUSA; Guerrero, L., Tierra y cal (2007) Anuario de Estudios de Arquitectura 2007, , UAM-Azcapotzalco, México D.F; Guerrero, L., Arquitectura en tierra.
