Record Type: concept
adobe (material) (sun-dried brick, <brick by technique: drying process>, ... Materials (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Handmade, sun-dried brick typically made from wet mud and straw, sometimes also containing sand, clay, dung, grass, chaff, or blood. It is porous, wettable, susceptible to wet-dry cycle degradation, but good heat insulation. Adobe walls are typically built using mud mortar between the brick layers followed with a mud stucco finish layer. It was used as early as 7000 BCE for houses, buildings, and pyramids, particularly in arid climates such as Mesopotamia, Persia, Palestine, India, China, and the pre-Columbian Americas. For sun-dried brick that may or may contain the binders of adobe, use the more general "sun-dried brick."

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Steen gemaakt van aarde of dergelijk binder en soms zand of stro, die niet is gebakken maar in de zon is gedroogd. 
Eastern Huasteca Nahuatl ..... Xamitl tlen axcanah tlaixquintli ica tonatiuh, quipiya tlalli, zo ceyoc tlamantli tlen mohmotzquitoc huan quemmantzin tlachihualli ica xalli zo zacatl. 
Portuguese ..... Tijolos feitos à mão, secos ao sol, tipicamente feitos de barro e palha molhados, às vezes também contendo areia, argila, esterco, grama, palha ou sangue. É poroso, molhável, suscetível à degradação do ciclo de secagem a seco, mas com bom isolamento térmico. As paredes da Adobe são normalmente construídas usando argamassa de lama entre as camadas de tijolo, seguida de uma camada de acabamento de estuque de lama. Foi usado já em 7000 AEC para casas, edifícios e pirâmides, particularmente em climas áridos como Mesopotâmia, Pérsia, Palestina, Índia, China e Américas pré-colombianas. Para tijolos secos ao sol que podem ou podem conter os aglutinantes de adobe, use o "tijolo seco ao sol" mais genérico. 
Spanish ..... Ladrillo sin cocer secado por el sol que contiene tierra o un material de unión similar y a veces arena o paja.
