Abstract

This article analyzes the advantages of using adobe as a suitable building material for constructing high-rise buildings. We consider the tower houses of Yeme n as a study case. Our main purpose is to analyze the suitability, reliability and structural stre ngth of the building system employed , considering the properties of the material itself and its limitations. Apart from this, factors like compositional criteria, the relation between this material and local tradition or how adobe shows a proper behavior under certain climatic conditions are also considered
