Abstract :

Materials used in traditional and local architecture in Iran derived from their deployment environment and are provided the necessary compatibility with the environment. Analysis of the use of such materials in buildings, on the one hand reduce the natural resources use and other energy resources saving during the production process materials, traditional buildings and the construction and maintenance stages of protection and restoration of such buildings will provide. This article is thoroughly compatible encoding used traditional materials in Iran, the vernacular architecture of limestone and lime-based mortar, including the cheap materials, easy collection, availability, and would reveal durable building. In this study on the related experiences of others and the results of mechanical tests on clay soil mixed with lime and analysis of the mentioned results; technical, economic or executable practice of using lime in the construction of new buildings and even local Iran has been approved. Patterns can be as a results from getting the technical message predecessors and taking advantage of new technologies associated with new products industries causing lime to make optimal rate consumption of natural resources and energy saving. We are able to material produced reversible resorting in nature unlike industrial cements; even with the capture carbon dioxide from industrial production of construction can the greenhouse effect of air pollution in the environment and abilityto reduce destructive effects of acidy rain in the environment.
