Abstract

The construction of earth buildings has been taking place worldwide for centuries. With the improved energy efficiency, high level of structural integrity and aesthetically pleasing finishes achieved in modern earth construction, it is now one of the leading choices for sustainable, low-energy building. Modern earth buildings provides an essential exploration of the materials and techniques key to the design, development and construction of such buildings.Beginning with an overview of modern earth building, part one provides an introduction to design and construction issues including i

Abstract

Earthen Construction Technology presents the papers from Session IV-5 of the 18th UISPP World Congress (Paris, June 2018). The archaeological study of earthen construction has until now focused on typology and conservation, rather than on its anthropological importance. Earth is the permanent building material of humankind, and was used by the world's earliest civilizations for their first urban programmes. The architectural and engineering know-how required to carry out these monumental achievements can only be obtained through archaeological research: extensive excavations with attention to architectural and structural features, and their collapse, coupled with typological, mineralogical, micromorphological, botanical, chemical, and mechanical studies of building materials. This line of research is recent, starting in the 1980s in Europe, but is rapidly growing and illustrated in this volume.

Abstract

Seit drei Jahrzehnten gibt es ein wachsendes Interesse am umweltfreundlichen Baustoff Lehm, der seine beispielhafte Nachhaltigkeit schon über Jahrhunderte bewiesen hatte. Gerade der Leichtlehmbau, bei dem Holzskelett- oder Fachwerkwände mit Lehm und Faserstoffen ausgefacht werden, hat besonders gute bauphysikalische Eigenschaften. Dass Lehmbau heute nichts Exotisches mehr an sich hat, ist unter anderem diesem Standardwerk zu verdanken, das den Einsatz dieses „alten“ Baustoffes umfassend und aktuell darstellt. Es enthält neben vielen praktischen Tipps Informationen über konstruktive Vereinfachungen und den Gebrauch von Lehm-Fertigbaustoffen für die zeitgemäße Bauabwicklung. Die Auswahl der Projektebeispiele zeigt die Vielfalt des Baustoffes; Selbstbauprojekte demonstrieren darüber hinaus die einzigartige Möglichkeit, den Leichtlehmbau mit eigenen Händen zu entdecken. Für die 8. Auflage wurde der Beispielteil aktualisiert, die Kapitel „Planung und Kosten“ sowie „Bauphysik“ adaptiert, die Normenangaben wurden auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Das Buch richtet sich an Bauherren, Architekten und Ingenieure, Hersteller und Handwerker sowie an Selbstbauer. The interest in clay as a building material – which has proved its sustainable characteristics over centuries – is growing. Light clay, which is light in weight and easy to work, is presented here as a versatile and forward-looking building material for modern computer-aided timber construction and the renewal of historic timber-framed buildings with clay infill. The balanced building physics properties of the material, which can be controlled through the mixing proportions, make it suitable for resource-efficient building in various different climate zones. Thermal storage, sound insulation, protection against moisture and fire in conventional timber construction are improved, and the construction is simplified. This standard publication describes detailed production methods, includes practical tips for self-building, and demonstrates the application of ready-made materials in modern construction. The book is aimed at architects, engineers, and their clients, as well as for listed building officers, manufacturers, tradesmen and self-builders

Abstract

Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume’s sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Abstract

Der ressourcenschonende und gesunde Baustoff Lehm, seit Jahrtausenden gebräuchlich, erfreut sich seit vielen Jahren auch in den Industrienationen wachsender Beliebtheit. In gemäßigten und trocken-heißen Klimazonen bietet der Lehm zahlreiche Vorteile gegenüber anderen Materialien. Seine spezifische Beschaffenheit und Textur ist außerdem von hohem ästhetischem Reiz. Dieses Handbuchs bietet einen praxisorientierten systematischen Überblick über die zahlreichen Einsatzmöglichkeiten und Verarbeitungstechniken von Lehm; seine Eigenschaften und physikalischen Gegebenheiten werden detailliert und kenntnisreich erläutert. Die reichhaltigen Erfahrungen, die der Autor bei der Ausführung von Lehmbauten im In- und Ausland über 30 Jahre gewinnen konnte, spiegeln sich in seiner Darstellung wieder. Zahlreiche Baustellenfotos und Zeichnungen zeigen die konkrete Umsetzung von Lehm-Architektur. For a number of years, the healthy and environment-friendly building material earth, in common use for thousands of years, has been enjoying increasing popularity, including in industrialized nations. In hot dry and temperate climate zones, earth offers numerous advantages over other materials. Its particular texture and composition also holds great aesthetic appeal. The author's presentation reflects the rich and varied experiences gained over thirty years of building earth structures all over the world. Numerous photographs of construction sites and drawings show the concrete execution of earth architecture.
