Over thirty years, Kerpiç-network is carrying researches on durability, seismic response and production techniques on earthen construction material. Durability researches are based on gypsum & lime stabilization of earth, called "alker"; seismic response researches are based on horizontal energy dissipating surfaces in the load bearing walls and production techniques are based on shotcrete and compacting production of earthen walls. www.kerpic.org, info@kerpic.org. We are pleased to announce the Call for the 6. international conference on kerpiç'18 "Back to earthen architecture: industrialized, injected, rammed, stabilized" and the workshop on production: 1-2 June 2018 Organized by Hasan Kalyoncu University - Gaziantep and Kerpic Network The conference scope will focus on using earth for housing, "Back to earthen architecture: industrialized, injected, rammed, stabilized", The study will range from the graduate programs, together with the academics and professionals to exchange results and experience.
