Cyclic Behavior of Confined Cement-Stabilized Rammed Earth Walls

Cyclic Behavior of Confined Cement-Stabilized Rammed Earth Walls

Rammed earth is widely utilized in both developed and developing countries due to its low embodied energy and good natural moisture buffering of indoor environments. However, its application in seismic active regions was limited owing to its intrinsically low resistance to dynamic actions. This pape...
