Modelling the Structural Behaviour of Rammed Earth Components [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2014 The rammed earth technique has a significant presence in the earthen built heritage, where it served to build from simple dwellings to fortresses. However, the high vulnerability of rammed earth constructions to decay agents and to seismic events puts at risk their further existence and the lives of millions of people.
