This study investigates the short-and long-term characteristics of adobe bricks containing
palm fibers of different soil weight ratios (0.25 to 1%). Towards this, the compressive …

The vulnerability of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures under seismic action has
promoted efforts to explore a wide variety of retrofitting and repairing methods. However …

This experimental study investigates the in-plane seismic performance of
unstabilised/stabilised rammed earth (RE) walls. The experimental program consists of five …

Adobe masonry structures are common in many parts of the world, particularly in developing
countries. Whilst the ease of construction, low cost and familiarity of the material make it a …

This study focuses on the seismic strengthening of adobe walls using different reinforcing
materials using the near-surface-mounted (NSM) technique. The test specimens comprise …

This research proposes to include different percentages of recycled polypropylene (PP)
fibers and polystyrene (PS) granules in the manufacture of concrete blocks. They are …

Abstracts: The aim was to determine the mechanical resistance and thermal conductivity of
adobe bricks in extreme minimum weather conditions, which serve two physical functions …

Through the quasi-static cyclic in-plane loading test of three kinds of unconstrained adobe
block walls, namely plain adobe wall, modified mud adobe wall and modified adobe wall …

This study aims to develop a novel internal reinforcing method using sand-coated reeds to
enhance the in-plane cyclic lateral behavior of adobe walls. The experimental program …

Adobe construction is a prolific and historically significant building technology, and the
rehabilitation of masonry adobe structures is crucial for cultural heritage preservation. The …
