It
is very important to research renewable energy sources for energy production
because of high energy consumption and global warming phenomena. The tendency
of using the building materials produced with low energy consumption and
respect to environmental conservation has been increasing all over the world.
In this context, earthen building materials which are produced by the raw
materials taken from the nature and formed by human, can be seen as ecologic
and renewable building material. Secondly, earth is a traditional building
material, it has been used from past to present with different usage techniques.
This material is very important not only for today's ecological demands but
also for cultural sustainability. In this study, earthen building materials
were researched in order to consider sustainable materials by presenting the
advantages and disadvantages. And also, a case study conducted on the earthen
building materials of rural area in Bilecik was presented. It was aimed to make
a contribution to increase using the earthen building materials in our country
with the view of environmental conservation and cultural sustainability. For
this purpose, an experimental programme was planned to determine the properties
and deterioration reasons of original earthen materials used in traditional
buildings and also, to research the re-use possibilities of the originals. As a
result of all the experiments, it was seen that the earthen materials can be
easily re-used and the performance of the earthen materials can be improved by
adding slaked lime %20 and %30 ratios and by obtaining the effective drying
conditions.
