Dynamic Stability of Adobe Walls (Overturning, Shaking Table, Cracking, Rocking Model, Soil)
The object of this investigation was to study the stability of adobe walls during earthquakes. Eleven specimens were tested with an earthquake simulator to understand the influence of the following variables: (1) type of ground motion, (2) slenderness (thickness/height ratio), (3) wall thickness. …
