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.

Quasi-static in-plane testing of adobe masonry walls and structures
(Springer Nature, 2021-01-01)
The lateral seismic capacity and the in-plane failure pattern of adobe masonry may be understood by performing quasi-static experimental tests on full-scale adobe walls. Information regarding the maximum lateral capacity and the displacement ductility are normally obtained during these tests. Also, information about limit states could be obtained. Along the years, universities in Europe, Asia and Latin America have performed this type of tests and the results of some of these works are summarized in this chapter.
