Raw clay has been utilised in the construction of houses since antiquity and is still used today. Traditional habitat, which consists of a variety of structures strewn around our planet, serves as proof. Rain water wash, as well as any other maladies that may affect unprotected earthen walls, is a severe concern that must be carefully considered. This is why this research into the protection mechanisms for these kinds of walls is so fascinating. Low walls made of raw clay mixed with composite protective elements (both traditional and modern) were subjected to significant flooding in this experiment described in this article. According to the findings of the tests reviewed through the efficiency of the protecting materials, the locust bean tree (local tree) fruit husk extract used to raw clay mortar and properly mixed appears to provide superior ability to protect walls from water assault. In addition, consistency and plasticity tests revealed that the clay material properties had improved.
According to studies, the decoction of Parkia biglobosa (néré) pods is high in tannins such as gallic acid, epicatechin gallate, and epigallocatechin.Author (S) Details
