 Adobe construction is mainly used in rural areas. Houses are  typically one-story high, with wall heights of around 3.0 m and  thicknesses ranging from 250 mm to 850 mm. In mountainous regions with  steep hillsides such as the Andes, houses can be up to three stories  high. In parts of the Middle East, earthen houses are often built one on  top of the other, so that the roof of one house is used as the bottom  floor of the house above. Adobe houses are found in the urban areas of  most developing countries. In some countries, like Argentina and Chile  and in some cities like San Salvador, adobe construction is banned by  building codes because of its poor seismic performance.
