Preventing overheating in offices through thermal inertial properties of compressed earth bricks: A study on a real scale prototype

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Arianna Brambilla

Buildings are increasingly required to be efficient not just in their operation, but from construction to demolition. Thus, interest in natural construction materials with low embodied environmental impacts has increased, (re)inventing materials and compon ...

In-plane cyclic behaviour of unfired clay and earth brick walls in both unstrengthened and strengthened conditions

Angelo Garofano

This article presents the outcome of a series of in-plane shear tests on non-traditional masonry walls under unstrengthened and strengthened conditions. The uniqueness of the experiments arises from the testing of unfired clay and earth (adobe) bricks, whi ...

Force-displacement response of in-plane loaded URM walls with a dominating flexural mode

Katrin Beyer, Sarah Petry

This article presents a new mechanical model for the non-linear force-displacement response of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls developing a flexural rocking mode including their displacement capacity. The model is based on the plane section hypothesis and ...

Drying of porous building materials: Hydraulic diffusivity and front propagation

David Andrew Barry

One-dimensional drying of a porous building material is modelled as a nonlinear diffusion process. The most difficult case of strong surface drying when an internal drying front is created is treated in particular. Simple analytical formulae for the drying ...
