Vladimir Ivlev There is an opinion that history is cyclical. Everything is repeated over time, it can be seen in fashion, architecture, literature and painting. At this point in the construction of all the great demand for materials of natural origin. One of these unjustly neglected material is adobe. It's about the Samana and the technology of its use, we'll tell you in this article. Saman is a building material consisting of earth, water, clay, straw and sand. He fits into the wall immediately after kneading - as long as the composition has not lost its elasticity. Breadth of application adobe strikes. It would seem that such a primitive material, and in past centuries from it were built not only small huts, but the two-storey houses. House of itself - is a building, having irregular rounded shapes. This home has no sharp corners, it is very stable and reliable. Besides adobe refractory due to content in the clay, which allows you to build it from the furnace, chimneys and fireplaces. Of course, at this stage of development of building technologies cost of adobe two-story home is impractical. After a huge amount of time it will take to prepare adobe blocks, stacking them, waiting for their drying (after all, once the high walls you can not drive, otherwise they will "float"). But here's a small gazebo or a cozy cottage for a relaxing break on the plot can be constructed. This house will look very impressive. At first glance, the very appearance of the house will soothe, reminding staff of the good old cartoons. Rounded forms are more acceptable to the human psyche at a subconscious level, that is why in such a house can be as relaxing, sweet sleep, and with gusto "drive teas" summer night until dawn. A small fireplace, as if grown directly from the walls complete the picture and become a compositional center of the house. Competent design of the exterior and interior, using tracks of adobe and wood, red tile roof - and you in that very house, which wanted to build in the garden or garage in the distant and carefree childhood. This house will certainly become a favorite vacation spot for all family members. Preparation adobe mixture to prepare the mixture optimally fit pit dug in the ground. Dimensions of the pit depends on the number of people who will do the mix. The more people, the more the hole. Importantly the depth of 10-30 cm in height. If there is more to be uncomfortable mix. As well as it is desirable to lay tarpaulins or plastic sheeting to the mixture is not sticking to the ground. Of course this is not unequivocal guide to action. Adobe can do what you want, for example, if you have a mixer, you will certainly poberezhete their health and strength. So, to build the very necessity of clay, which is used for laying bricks in the construction of furnaces and chimneys, river sand, straw and water. Clay before work is desirable to soak in water. Central to the preparation of a mixture are the proportions of sand and clay. Depending on the quality of clay, part of the mixture should be 10-25%. You can determine the proportion by means of tests: Make several different batches. 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 2:3, 1:2, 1:3. Add water so much that the wet mixture stick together into a ball in his hands. Make of each test of a handful of the ball. It should not be too wet. Drop it on the grass with a height meter. If the ball will be smashed, then it is dry or there is a lot of sand. If you flatten into a pancake, then it is too wet or there is a lot of clay. If the mixture is ideal, it will save the form. From the prepared test mixtures make a couple of blocks and let them dry. Select the best proportion. Selecting the desired ratio of sand, clay and water, you can start making desired amount of mixture. For this ideal tarp ssypte into it the mixture and add water. Then take one of the edges of the sheet and move the mixture into the center, so you have a triangle. Holding the edge of your hands, stand on the tarp down and stamping on him. Combine a mixture of sand and clay with water in selected proportions. It is time to add a straw. Covered it a little and do not forget to stir the mixture. When you feel that it was difficult to knead, take a piece in hand and try to tear it up. Roll out a ball and toss it in the palm. If it retains its shape, then herself ready. Creating masonry begin to form from adobe blocks the desired size and then proceed to the masonry. The thickness of the walls must be either in terms of what you build. But one important rule - adobe blocks at the base should be wide. To build a house, their width should be at least 25 cm higher is masonry, so it is already possible to make blocks (in order to facilitate the design), although it is not necessary, if the height of your house will not exceed 2.5 - 3 meters. Make the block in height so that it does not crawled. The length depends on you, how convenient, does just that. Masonry is the same as in the construction of other building materials, only in the absence of cement. Blocks are simply stacked on each other. If the lower block is not completely dry, you may spread the walls. Cut the convexity and wait for drying units. Practice to begin by building a flower bed for flowers or arched fence around the site. Saman is very plastic material, shape the future of buildings depend on you.
