Abstract

Al-zabor construction is one of the oldest multi– stories construction technique in Yemen, This technique is based on mixing clay with 30% sand, submerged in water for period time, then begins to build mud walls on a stone base,in the form of building layers by wooden molds. The building process is performed by filling the wooden molds with mud thrown by hand strongly; to achieve adhesion and connectivity with the foundation stone or mud bottom tier. After the layer dries relatively down,the construction begins to build another layer above it, and stacked layers successively until the of the structural construction complete is completed.
