Abstract EN

The most crucial problem faced by clayey buildings in Yemen is their strong sensitiveness to rains and hailstones.

During the rainy season the rains fall attended with winds.

High buildings has a long history in Yemen thus protection of high buildings with protruding canopies from the roofs or something eke, as it is known in some regions of the world, has no existence in the Yemeni Clayey buildings due to its worthless in high buildings.

Alongside of raising the bases of the buildings and weakening the fatness of the mud, roads and good leveling of the surface areas of Zabours walls.

Yemenis tried to protect their clayey buildings in different methods.

We will try to take them up in this research.

The significance of this research concentrate in the need to know the traditional techniques for the protection of the mud walls of buildings and documenting steps carefully, so that knowledge does not disappear with time because of the statute of limitations sufficiently documented, not only for use in the restoration of traditional buildings, but to be able to develop and use in newly constructed buildings.

The researcher summarized the goals of knowledge and documentation of all methods of protection of clayey walls in the technique of Al-Madar in Wadi Hadhramaut, as well as Al-Zabour in the provinces of North Yemen, in addition to the formulation of proposals for new ways to protect the mud walls.

As a result it was focused on research methodology to implement field visits to traditional residential complexes access technology trainers, as well as buildings made by Al-Zabour technique and perform talks with skilled builders of construction clayey to understanding or viewing in detail on how to implement the methods of protection of traditional clayey walls and documenting its negatives and positives, as well as methods of implementation steps and provide accurate efficiency from the technical and aesthetic and functional.

Also, comparisons between the methods of protection of traditional mud walls with each other have been don.

on the other hand, compared to the traditional and modem international methods of protection.

The most important findings of this research is to find and document the most important pros and cons of each mode of protection of traditional and modem, and modem technique to propose solutions responsive to the needs of a modem which takes advantages of traditional methods and avoid the disadvantages, taking into account the circumstances of the climate in the Arabian Peninsula.
