Abstracts

PL

Tematyka artykułu dotyczy kompozytów konopno-wapiennych (betonu konopnego) – nowego, naturalnego i ekologicznego materiału budowlanego, i jego praktycznych zastosowań w projektach architektonicznych. Celem publikacji jest charakterystyka technologii oparta na wielu międzynarodowych artykułach i istniejących analizach przykładów, zwiększających i systematyzujących wiedzę o tym zagadnieniu, która pomoże w zdobyciu spójnych i wyczerpujących informacji na temat tego konkretnego rozwiązania technicznego – zwłaszcza architektom. W artykule w poszczególnych rozdziałach omówiono właściwości fizyczne, wpływ na środowisko, techniki budowlane, zastosowanie w architekturze, potencjał projektowy i ograniczenia betonu konopnego.

This article concerns the hemp-lime composite (hempcrete) – a new, naturally-sourced and ecological material solution and its practical applications in architectural design. The purpose of this publication is to characterise the technology based on a review of global publications, and existing example analysis, thereby bringing awareness to the issue and systemising knowledge which will help provide consistent, comprehensive information about this specific technical solution - particularly for architects. Physical properties, environmental impacts, construction techniques, architectural use and design capabilities and limitations of hempcrete are discussed throughout the chapters of this article.
