Abstract:
Housing constructions are a anthropogenic system of protection from external climatic influences. The capacitive concept that characterizes the quality of a home is comfort which is determined by microclimatic parameters like temperature and humidity. From the point of view of comfort, clay is a natural building material which is superior in quality to other industrial building materials, but it also has main disadvantages like mold fungus which can develop within mixtures of clay and as well as a low resistance of clay building blocks to seismic activity. However, there is a solution to use clay for construction purposes by strengthening of the clay construction elements with polymer fittings which will be elaborated further on in this study.
