Adobe bricks are one of the oldest building materials known to man. Basic adobe bricks are made from dirt and water. Sometimes adobe bricks have additives like straw or cement to make them stronger. My question is, what native natural materials found in Tucson, AZ will make my adobe bricks the strongest?
Your question and test methods have an interesting tie to creating economic building materials from locally sourced materials. Keep sciencing and engineering to help us make a better Tucson!
Very well designed and executed study with clear presentation. I always appreciate a researcher’s recommendations for further investigation – nice job including that.
