Earth as mud bricks, has been used in building construction for thousands of years and approximately 30% of the world’s present population still live in earthen shelters. Mud brick is an inexpensive, environmentally friendly and abundantly available building material. It has been used extensively for building construction around the world, particularly in extreme hot, dry desert climates like that of most Arabian countries. In these countries, mud bricks are made by blending mud and water together into a goopy mixture.
