Reactions and biological processes in the adobe mixture represent the integration of biological and technological aspects, which opens new prospects for research in the field of biomineralization of building materials. The object of research is an adobe brick, in which various biological and molecular interactions of its constituent components occur. Method. A detailed description of the methodology of the literature search research has been carried out and current world research on the use of adobe bricks in construction has been systematized. Results. A review of studies on the properties of moisture capacity, compressive strength, thermal insulation properties and durability properties of adobe has been conducted. The influence of chemical processes on its properties is considered, problems and limitations associated with the use of adobe bricks are identified, based on which conclusions are drawn and recommendations for further research are proposed. The role of biological processes in adobe brick construction technology is considered.
