“…The house has a flat roof to increase radiant cooling (Al-Hinai, Batty, and Probert 1993; Damlūji 1998) and is surrounded by a parapet high enough to cover most of a standing person, mainly for privacy. The upper floors are constructed using a structure made of date palm trunks, cut in half or four, covered with palm leaves matting, supporting the massive layer of mud and small rocks covered with locally made lime-based plaster (Sarooj) (Meddah et al 2020).…”

“…Although sarooj had been widely used in Oman and the neighboring countries for centuries in a variety of architectural and defensive contexts, its application in these areas has become much more restricted in recent decades. The primary purpose of this research is to enhance the physical mechanical properties of the ancient manufactured Sarooj and develop it into a binding product while also reducing its impact on the environment [13].…”

“…To overcome these economical and environmental issues, and promote sustainability in the concrete industry, several alternative binding materials such pozzolanic and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are broadly used at this time in concrete as a partial replacement of clinker cement. These pozzolanic and SCMs could not only enhance concrete` sustainability but also mechanical properties and durability performances of concrete/mortar material [1][2][3][4][5]. Pozzolanic and SCMs might be natural or artificial.…”

“…Although the artificial ones derived from industrial by-products may contribute more to sustainability, the natural ones, including calcined clays may also reduce energy consumption, reducing both the GHG released and the cost. Recent studies by the authors demonstrated that clays procured from identified locations within the Sultanate of Oman have an impressive potential to be used as a cementitious/pozzolanic materials in mortar production as a partial replacement of OPC [5][6][7]. Although the sultanate of Oman is very rich with natural minerals, it is fully depending on artificial pozzolans that are imported with all the economic and environmental consequences.…”
