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 …

Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings exhibit significant vulnerability under in-plane
seismic loads due to poor tensile strength and integrity. An experiment was carried out to …

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 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 …

Damaged adobe masonry is essential to retrofit not only for continued use by less
developed populations but also for historical preservation and vernacular landmark …

This study investigates the effects of palm fibers on the seismic behavior of adobe walls.
Towards this, six wall panels, with dimensions of 1000× 900× 200 mm3 were constructed …

The ductile performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is one of the crucial structural
properties which define their deformability. This paper investigates the flexural performance …

Rammed earth building has garnered attention from researchers due to its low energy
consumption and excellent thermal performance. However, addressing the issue of low …
