Evaluation of seismic vulnerability assessment parameters for portuguese vernacular constructions with nonlinear numerical analysis [PDF]
, 2015 Considering that vernacular architecture may bear important lessons on hazard mitigation and that well-constructed examples showing traditional seismic resistant features can present far less vulnerability than expected, this study aims at understanding ...

Thermal performance and fitness of glacial till for rammed earth construction [PDF]
Journal of Building Engineering, 2019 Abstract The search for sustainability caused a revival of earth construction. Rammed earth (RE) construction is often preferred as compaction and stabilization leads to stronger, more consistent materials. Tills are glacial sediments. Historically, they were used for construction and brick making.

Traditional rammed earth construction: conservation of built heritage in México [PDF]
WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2011 This paper exposes some of the main features that involve rammed earth architecture, with the purpose of contributing to its promotion, conservation, and re-development. The text is centered mainly on the characterization of the traditional way of executing this building technique in Mexico, in order to improve its technological principles and as a way
