Assessing the seismic performance of rammed earth walls by using discrete elements
Rammed earth (RE) is attracting renewed interest throughout the world because of its low embodied energy and its interesting hygric-thermal behavior. Several studies have recently been carried out to investigate this material. However, the seismic behavior of RE walls is still an important subject t...
