Dear Colleagues,
Istanbul Aydin University and The Kerpiç Network are pleased to welcome you to the fifht
International Conference on kerpic’16 - Cultural Landscape: Rebuilding after Decay,17-
18December 2016, Istanbul, Turkey.
Kerpiç–network is carrying researches over thirty years on durability, seismic response and
production techniques on earthen construction material. Durability researches are based
on gypsum & lime stabilization of earth, called “alker”; seismic response researches are
based on horizontal energy dissipation surfaces in the load bearing walls and production
techniques are based on compacting and shote-crete production of earthen walls
The conference scope will focus on Diyarbakır‐ SUR area in Turkey or on nearly problems
arround the world, and the study will range from the graduate programs, preparing the
students to the contemporary knowledge and skills, and bring together the academics and
professionals to exchange findings and experience. It will be an opportunity to understand
the strategy and the advances of the Cultural Landscape.
Our deepest thanks goes to ICOMOS, ISCEAH members who supported the conference as
scientific committee.

Having met habitation needs since antiquity,
adobestructuresarestilluseddespitethetechnologicaldevelopments of our age. Concurrently,
it is knownthatthesestructuresarestill of decentquality in

Just as adobestructures can be erectedbyfirsthavingthemudprepared in

Adobbe structurees can be quuite long-lassting when they are prrotected from

proper manner. Today, watter-related problems
p arre the most general cauuse of deterrioration
for thhese structuures [6].
When in fact, remnants of the anccient city of Çatalhööyük indicaate that thee adobe
consttruction tecchnique wass more advaanced than it
i is today annd that a grreat deal of its walls
remaain intact (F

3.2 Preservatio
P on Precautions Againsst Rain and d Snow Water on Outer Walls
Wallls of adobe structures are a easily affected
a by outside weather condiitions. In paarticular,
the force
f of rainndrops that increases with
w impactiing winds can c cause w wear on a strructure’s
outerr facade. Pllaster is appplied to the surface in order to prootect a struccture from rain and
the elements
e as well as to obtain
o a straaight surfacce. Plaster iss a mortar ggenerally co
omprised
of addobe materiial that is applied
a by spreading it i in a mannner that foorms a layeer on the
surfaace.
Howwever, with the widesprread use off cement in the 20th ceentury, a plaaster with a cement
addittive is also used
u for theese structurees. While ceement is harrder and moore impervious than
otherr construction materialls in these types
t of app plications, once
o water seeps into the wall
struccture via cappillarities, cement-base
c ed plaster trraps water inside
i the sstructure and
d causes
muchh greater craackups laterr on (Figuree 8) [ 11].

Adobe with increased water resilience called ‘alker’ was produced in studies conducted in
our country at ITÜ. This material was obtained by adding lime and plaster-of-paris to the
soil. The application of alker to outer facades rendered the structure’s outer wall more
resilient against water effects [12].
One of the preventive measures taken to protect outer wall surfaces is to increase the
overhang of roof eaves (Figure 9). Thus, a wider surface swath can be protected in this
manner. The width of the eaves applied in the traditional construction method utilized in
our country is 50 cm. However, the protection of outer structure surfaces in regions with
more precipitation will be easier when this is extended to 70-80 cm or more.

ONCLUSIO
ON
The water effecct, which iss one of thee most imp portant probblems of addobe structu ures, and
their solutions were
w referreed to in this study. As is i seen, adobbe structurees, which haave been
used for many years
y and arre still usedd by a wide segment, canc be proteected from water
w by
implementing siimple, easy solutions, regardless
r how
h much thhey seem vuulnerable to o water.
Thesse solutionss Show diffferences suuch as measures to be b taken dduring construction,
detaiiling solutioons and addditive materrials. Thereffore, it is im
mportant annd necessary y to take
precaautions while erectingg a buildinng in regard ds to water protectionn according g to the
climaate and geographical feeatures wheere the adob be structure is located. T The most immportant
reasoons for preeferring adoobe structuures is because they are eco-friiendly, natu ural and
econnomical. Whhile they do not constituute a suitable method for f today’s hhigh-rise strructures,
they should become more popular
p andd be encouraaged as loww-rise structuures with th
he use of
moree modern methods
m and materials.
Adobbe structurees which haave been useed for thoussands of years look likke they will be used
for many
m years in
i the futuree.
