Green Buildings Technologies and Materials
Lately, there is a growing need for humanity to get closer to nature and to a way of life so that the negative impact on it to be as small as possible. One cannot talk about durable development without taking into account the sustainability criterion which is essential in all areas of activity. Traditional constructions made of masonry elements from unburned clay or other vernacular materials, using sheep wool mattresses for thermal insulation, successfully meet the conditions imposed by this criterion. Constructions made of natural materials, ensure the responsible use of non-renewable natural resources, the possibility of reuse and recycling of materials, contribute to environmental protection and pollution reduction, are energy saving and provide an hygienic, pleasant and healthy living climate.
The aim of this paper is to present the experimental results obtained regarding the mechanical properties of the elements of unburned clay masonry with the addition of vegetable fibers from waste and of bio-eco-innovative wool mattresses, of different thicknesses.
Following the results obtained on the 2 types of construction materials, based on clay with the addition of vegetable fibers, and sheep wool mattresses as thermal insulation material, it can be stated that they can be used successfully in construction.
