Some features of the structural systems of houses built from materials
Abstract
This paper discusses the technological and design features of houses built from local clay materials, in particular, those built from a wooden frame filled with clay materials called “synch” and from adobe or clay materials of irregular shape “pakhsa”. Such buildings built from local materials, as a rule, related to buildings with walls made of low-strength materials, were mostly erected without observing technological, anti-seismic measures and are characterized as the most vulnerable in seismic terms. A comparative analysis of the technology of erection by the owners themselves with some violations and the technology of erection proposed by us in compliance with the rules during the construction process was carried out. In houses built using the “synch” technology, foam balls (expanded polystyrene) were used as a filler to reduce the mass of clay, the optimal ratio of clay and expanded polystyrene was revealed, in the course of research we received a patent for a modified clay material with expanded polystyrene. And also, the results of testing models of houses built from a wooden frame filled with clay materials (synch) and from clay materials using the “pakhsa” technologies are given.
