Record Type: concept
adobe (bricks 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:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 手工製的曬磚,一般以濕泥和稻草製成,部分亦含沙、黏土、畜糞、草、穀糠或血。多孔、沾水則溼,若反覆淋溼晒乾易崩解,但土磚具良好隔熱功能。土磚牆通常以泥灰沙漿砌入磚層間,之後再以灰泥粉飾表面。土磚早於西元前七千年就用於搭造房屋、建築物及金字塔,特別是在氣候乾旱地區,如美索不達米亞、波斯、巴勒斯坦、印度、中國及美洲大陸(特指哥倫布到達之前的時期)(pre-Columbian Americas)。不論是否含有土磚黏接材料的曬磚,可以「曬磚坯(sun-dried brick)」一詞泛稱。 
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.
