Abstract

In this study, unconfined compression tests on a traditional rammed earth wall material were carried out with different curing periods and curing conditions in order to evaluate its mechanical properties. The unconfined compression test results showed that peak strength and deformation modulus of the rammed earth wall material increase with decrease in the water content of the specimen. In the case with the water contents of around 2 %, in particular the peak strength and the deformation modulus are susceptible to change of the water content. Increase of suction that is associated with the decrease of the water content seems to be the cause for the strength increase of this wall material.[This abstract is not included in the PDF]
