How to build multi-storied structures using stabilised mud blocks

Рет қаралды 1,259,783

Жыл бұрын

Humans have always built with natural materials which are locally available. Right from some of the most ancient civilisations, earth or mud has been used in construction for its structural integrity and durability. But over the years, Mud has lost its appeal. Cities across India are building rapidly with cement and other machine made materials. This creates environmental issues and even accelerates climate change. But is there a way out? Can mud architecture be revived? Can it become an alternative to concrete?. Watch the video to know more.

my kenyan grandparents built a mud house in 1950. they are long dead, but the house is still standing . their eldest child was 17 when they built that house. She is turning 90 in a few months and is the one who told us about that house. mud architecture is making a comeback and will no longer be viewed as poor man's architecture.

I have, since I was a child, longed for a house made of mud or stone. When I looked at pictures of ancient structures in Afrika they called out to me. I could never figure out how we degenerated into using materials that crack, fall apart as quickly as the western-style towers, when buildings millennia-old were still standing. Anyway, @Kiritu George, are any of the projects you refer to in your comment available to view online?

And the best part is, these brick houses are capable of surviving for hundreds of years. Unlike buildings constructed with reinforced concrete whose life is less than 100 years, since the steel used in them rusts and deteriorates the columns, beams and slab. Meanwhile, brick houses in European cities built centuries ago are still standing strong.

Although, for a multi story building I think a frame work is needed but I'm doubting the cost would sky rocket as the mud bricks are very heavy. Anyways, I think there should be many experimentation with this technology!

So, I am a big proponent of using local materials and reviving low-cost, effective construction techniques. One of the reasons why it is not much wider-spread, though, is standardization. The use of standards is incredibly important, and ensures that engineering projects (such as homes) at least conform to a factor of safety which is determined by geological and atmospheric demands (such as earthquakes, monsoons, or extreme cold). When using local (and therefore non-standardized) materials, it's difficult to maintain strict load-bearing parameters, temperature resilience, and water resistance. And while there are many examples, these only qualify as "anecdotal" evidence. In order to conform to modern building parameters, engineering materials must have hard data to support their widespread use. These things are not impossible to achieve for local materials, but it becomes expensive of excessively restrictive for widespread deployment.

@AF-100 Жыл бұрын

I agree with Michael. Due to lack of columns and beams, I doubt these houses using stabilized mud would withstand an earthquake. They are likely to collapse with a 5-6 Richter earthquake.

@vedangmirashi 10 ай бұрын

Hit the nail on the head, having standardization will definitely help in more people opting for Mud based construction. At the end of the day, end user always has to be sure that the money spent by him provides him safety, longetivity and protection against catastophic events to a certain degreee

@Nphen 9 ай бұрын

Outside of earthquake zones (I live in the American midwest; lots of dirt here, and in Canada) I feel like these stabilized bricks are great, provided that the builders test the soil and properly mix & cure the blocks. I'd say there should be an easy way to test a sample brick or block so the structural integrity is known to the building engineers & architects before the project starts. Having standardized regulations for testing, and building codes that accept tested materials, would allow builders in different areas to develop proper mixes for their region and be able to get consistent stabilized mud blocks from any build site. We need counties & cities to get more flexible with building codes and be ready to incorporate more materials as we realize that not every building needs to be mostly concrete & steel.

@MichaelIreland 9 ай бұрын

@@Nphen I agree with you in principle, and I think there's a solution that satisfies all parties. I think there's still a challenge to cost, and for the engineering firms doing the testing to (literally) sign-off on the materials to be used for buildings with human occupancy. They're held liable if the building fails, and that can be a huge barrier to their willingness. Not impossible, of course. These are just challenges to be overcome. But it'll take some big moves by the policymakers (and heaven forbid there are big business lobbyists arguing against it).

@patricia7018c 8 ай бұрын

I am really interested into this thing but I have a few questions: 1. Sometimes bird drop seeds of plants on roofs or somewhere else and then plants grow from there. What are the chances that the house can withstand such invasion? 2. Insects like ants, centepedes, earthworms etc are a big issue. How does this building prevents insects from invading the mud structure? 3. Do toilets withstand the water?

@jerry calvert yes I have heard of Earthquake resistant buildings with base isolation where the base of buildings are not directly attached to the ground and also the walls you say have height limits. In Japan, they use this technique, and they use reinforcement throughout so that the buildings swing and not crack. It is important for the buildings to bend and regain their position during the earthquake, or else it will crack and collapse. Load-bearing walls are not meant for earthquake prone areas. Otherwise, we would be making that in our region, which is a zone V.
