Item type:Publication, Seismic strengthening techniques for adobe construction(Springer Nature, 2021-01-01)Heavy damage to adobe constructions observed after earthquakes, experimental programmes and numerical simulations have demonstrated high vulnerability levels that require appropriate strengthening measures. Given that a large fraction of adobe constructions are located in less developed countries, there is a need for effective strengthening techniques that are low-cost and easy to install at the same time. In this chapter, a comprehensive selection of research studies is critically reviewed to provide useful information to researchers and professionals involved in the conservation and retrofit of adobe constructions. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Research developments and needs on seismic performance and strengthening of adobe masonry constructions(Springer Nature, 2021-01-01)The significant amount of studies on adobe masonry constructions, which have received growing interest from researchers and practitioners, allows preliminary conclusions on the state-of-the-art to be drawn. Besides, several research needs can be delineated to create the basis for knowledge development and implementation of seismic risk mitigation programmes. Past studies moved from material characterization to structural performance assessment through numerical simulation and experimental testing, as well as seismic strengthening. Future lines of research could focus on test standardisation, non-destructive and minor-destructive testing, full-scale testing to support structural modelling and strengthening, and numerical simulation through discrete element and equivalent frame methods.
