Research of South Sychyovo clay and optimization of adobe composition

In this paper, the method of obtaining the optimum adobe composition on the basis of the mathematical planning of the experiment is considered. As variable factors the consumption of the organic component and the quartz sand leaner are chosen. As the response parameters compressive and bending strength, density, moisture content, shrinkage in a dried condition are used. Adobe components are tested on the basis of actual data obtained in the laboratory. Mathematical models of adobe property changes are given depending on the ratio of such components as clay, straw, sand and water. The composition of adobes for the use in the base and lighter for the construction of the upper part of the walls is defined.
