In-plane behaviour of earthen materials: A numerical comparison between adobe masonry, rammed earth and COB

The paper presents a comparison between different numerical modelling approaches aiming to simulate the in-plain behaviour of three types of earthen materials, namely adobe masonry, rammed earth and cob. For this purpose, uniaxial and diagonal compression tests were carried out, which allowed determ...
