    • Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of a Full-Scale Unreinforced Adobe Model 

      Tarque, Nicola; Camata, Guido; Spacone, Enrico; Varum, Humberto; Blondet, Marcial (US, 2014)
      This paper describes the results of a numerical study of a full-scale adobe building model tested on a shaking table. Material properties of adobe masonry were calibrated to represent the wall in-plane seismic behavior, ...
    • Numerical simulation of an adobe wall under in-plane loading 

      Tarque, Nicola; Camata, Guido; Varum, Humberto; Spacone, Enrico; Blondet, Marcial (US, 2014)
      Adobe is one of the oldest construction materials that is still used in many seismic countries, and different construction techniques are found around the world. The adobe material is characterized as a brittle material; ...
