Abstract EN
Rammed earth (RE) is a construction material which is manufactured by compacting the soil in a formwork, in different layers.
Several recent studies have investigated this material.
The seismic performance of RE buildings is an important topic which needs to be carefully investigated.
The complex numerical model seems a performant approach to investigate the seismic performance of a whole building.
To correctly establish the model, the shear parameters of the material, which are the cohesion and the friction angle, should be identified.
This paper first presents experimental studies on the shear parameters of RE through the direct shear tests, at two different scales.
The differences of the results at different scales are analyzed.
Then, the obtained experimental values are used in a numerical model to simulate the shear behavior of RE walls which are loaded by a constant vertical stress and pushed horizontally on the top.
From the obtained results, the values for numerical models are recommended.
