Historical Data
Adobe
structures
are "
natural
buildings
"
made
from a
mixture
of
50%
sand
,
35%
clay
and
water
, and
mixed
with
15%
of a
fibrous
or
organic
material
such
as
sticks
,
straw
and
even
dung
in
some
cases
-
which
is
useful
in
binding
the
brick
together
and
allowing
the
brick
to
dry
evenly
. These
buildings
are
extremely
durable
and
account
for the
oldest
structures
on
earth
,
some
of
which
are
still
standing
today
.
Adobe
walls
usually
never
rise
above
two
stories
because
they're
load
bearing
and have
low
structural
strength
.
Ideally
, the
wall
should be
thick
enough
to
remain
cool
on the
nside
during
the
heat
of the
day
, but
thin
enough
to
transfer
heat
through
the
wall
during
the
evening
. To
protect
the
interior
and
exterior
adobe
wall
,
finishes
such
as
mud
plaster
,
whitewash
or
stucco
can
be
applied
. These
finishes
protect
the
adobe
wall
from
water
damage
but
need
to be
reapplied
periodically
.
