Abstract
Assessing the technical condition of earthen constructions is an extremely difficult task due to the fact that the materials, methods and techniques used in construction have been replaced by new materials and installation procedures. Although they have a fairly large share in the existing housing stock, earthen constructions have not benefited from the same interest in the field of construction. This paper proposes a review of the current assessment possibilities applicable to earthen constructions in relation to the current level of knowledge on a local and international level.
