In extremely dry climates a well-drained flat roof may be protected with a well-prepared ( puddled) and properly maintained dried mud coating, viable as the mud will expand when moistened and so become more water resistant. Such buildings must be protected from groundwater, usually by building upon a masonry, fired brick, rock or rubble foundation, and also from wind-driven rain in damp climates, usually by deep roof overhangs. When the brick would otherwise break, the straw will redistribute the force throughout the brick, decreasing the chance of breakage. Straw is sometimes used as a binder within the bricks, as it makes them a composite. Mud can be made into mud bricks, also called adobe, by mixing mud with water, placing the mixture into moulds and then allowing it to dry in open air. ![]()
