There are many examples of historical rammed earth constructions for which the development valid methods evaluation their conservation state is a major concern agencies all around world. On other hand, attracting attention modern architecture trends because its outstanding performance from an ecological perspective. Thus, reliable non-destructive tests inspection new and existing interest. Ultrasonic sonic among most commonly used. While former has been subject numerous studies in soil,...
Although it has good compressive behavior, adobe masonry is classified as a quasi-brittle material mainly due to its relative low tensile strength and softening behavior after the peak strength. The plus high variability in mechanical properties, makes difficult evaluate performance of entire buildings. For such purpose, development reliable computationally efficient numerical approaches required. This work shows methodology calibrate main parameters be used modeling samples following finite...
Rammed earth is a traditional construction technique that has recently gained attention because of its benefits from an ecological perspective. The conservation the existing valuable cultural heritage sites and quality control new constructions built with this material require development application practical inspection techniques. This paper explores sonic tests tomography as tools for monitoring state structures identification heterogeneities or damaged areas. Two groups 6 rammed...
En la Península Ibérica existen numerosas viviendas y elementos patrimoniales construidos con tierra cruda. Por otro lado, actualmente hay una tendencia creciente a revitalizar el empleo de este material en arquitectura moderna debido su valor ecológico arquitectónico. Sin embargo, existe aún falta conocimiento científico acerca comportamiento mecánico, así como especificaciones para realizar caracterización rigurosa. artículo se realiza un análisis experimental aras desarrollar metodología...
The Mosque of Cordoba (Spain) is an emblem the rich cultural heritage Western Andalusia. This research focuses on mechanical characterization natural stone used in building. Determining its properties crucial to understanding structural behaviour entire An experimental campaign with various tests, such as density, compression, indirect tensile, and bending was conducted more than 100 cubic prismatic specimens obtained from main quarry that supplies material for mosque's restoration. results...
Rammed earth has become, in recent years, an alternative and more sustainable construction system with respect to techniques that use industrial materials a greater environmental impact. Although there is currently much research focusing on earthen especially those based compacted soil, are still many physical-mechanical aspects require further study. Therefore, this article proposes preliminary study specific type of rammed using static compaction which, by applying high energy, achieves...
The preservation of Great Mosque Córdoba (Spain) as a carrier Andalusian collective memory requires innovative approaches to assess and maintain its structural health. This research centers on two non-destructive methods: direct ultrasound testing rebound hammer. Laboratory tests were performed natural stone provided by the primary material supplier for Mosque's restoration rehabilitation works. Non-destructive destructive carried out over 10 ashlars 100 cubic prismatic specimens, which cut...
In many regions around the world, earth has been used through history as a traditional building material. Nowadays, there is significant revival of its use due to ecological value and architectural performance. However, still lack knowledge about actual mechanical properties behavior. This work aims at development consistent methodologies for characterization this material based on non-destructive tests, NDT's. Ultrasonic sonic tests prismatic rammed specimens adobe bricks were carried out....
