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 ...
Elsevier2017In-plane cyclic behaviour of unfired clay and earth brick walls in both unstrengthened and strengthened conditions
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 ...
Springer Verlag2015Force-displacement response of in-plane loaded URM walls with a dominating flexural mode
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 ...
2015Drying of porous building materials: Hydraulic diffusivity and front propagation
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 ...
