Abstract

Earthen walls or adobes have been in use over several thousand years in building houses for mankind. It has also been empirically known that the buildings in which these materials are used provide coolness in summer and warmth in winter. It is because clay is outstanding in heat insulation and capable of adjusting the himidity. However, since the start of modernization in the buildings with the emergence of the 20th century, the clay has been pushed aside by cement with hardly no uses. Such a phenomenon is attributable to the fact that clay bricks cannot be used in the modern buildings because they are not substantial enough in the first place and cause heterogeneous phenomena to take place when adhered to cement.
