Influence of Wall Thickness and Water Content on the Out-of-Plane Stability of Adobe Walls
This paper presents the results of a numerical study using the finite element method to assess the effect of wall thickness and a moist region along the wall base on the out-of-plane lateral stability of adobe walls. The models consisted of cantilever unreinforced adobe walls with a thickness of 25...
