Rammed earth (RE) is a construction material which is manufactured by compacting soil by layers within a formwork to build a monolithic wall. RE material is the subject of numerous scientific researches during the last decade because of the significant heritage of RE buildings and the sustainable properties of this material: low embodied energy, su...

Rammed earth (RE) is a construction material which is manufactured by compacting the soil in a formwork, in different layers. Several recent studies have investigated this material. The seismic performance of RE buildings is an important topic which needs to be carefully investigated. The complex numerical model seems a performant approach to inves...

Rammed earth (RE) is one of the different techniques of earth constructions. The RE wall is built by compacting the soil in a formwork, layer after layer (about 10–15 cm thick for each layer). RE buildings are recognized for their very low embodied energy and their positive hygrothermal behaviour. Several recent studies have investigated RE materia...

The present paper is concerned with the simulation of the Casagrande test carried out on a rammed earth material for wall-type structures in the framework of Limit Analysis (LA). In a preliminary study, the material is considered as a homogeneous Coulomb material, and existing LA static and kinematic codes are used for the simulation of the test. I...

Rammed earth (RE) construction is attracting renewed interest throughout the world thanks to its sustainable characteristics: very low embodied energy, advantageous living comfort due to substantial thermal inertia, good natural moisture buffering and an attractive appearance. This is why several studies have recently been conducted to investigate...

Rammed-earth (RE) material has been the focus of scientific research in the last decade because of the significant heritage of RE buildings throughout the world. Moreover, a renaissance of RE constructions has recently been observed due to this material’s sustainable properties. Nondestructive methods are now needed to assess the mechanical behavio...

Rammed earth (RE) is a construction material which is manufactured by dynamically compacting the soil in a formwork. The RE wall is composed of several earthen layers about 12-15 cm thick. This material has been attracting numerous scientific researches because of its low embodied energy and a positive hygrothermal behavior. Several recent studies...

Determining the mechanical behavior of rammed earth walls is a highly important feature giving that there is a renewed interest in the use of the natural material in building construction. On one hand, it contributes to finding suitable and appropriate ways for the conservation and restoration of these building and on another hand, it draws new rec...

Rammed earth (RE) construction is attracting renewed interest throughout the world thanks to its sustainable characteristics: a very low embodied energy, an advantageous living comfort due to a substantial thermal inertia, good natural moisture buffering, and an attractive appearance. This is why several studies have been carried out recently to in...

Les constructions en terre crue, comme le pisé, connaissent ces dernières années un regain d'intérêt de par leur faible énergie grise, la possibilité de recyclage du matériau, et leur intérêt en terme de confort hygrothermique. Dans l'objectif de mieux caractériser le comportement et la résistance de ces structures sous sollicitation sismique une p...

Rammed earth (RE) material presents actually attracting interests in the context of sustainable development. In addition to low embodied energy, rammed earth constructions present interesting living comfort thanks to the substantial thermal inertia and the natural ―moisture regulator‖ of the RE walls. This is why several researches have been recent...
