Mechanical properties of adobe bricks in ancient constructions
Highlights ► Study of the mechanical properties of adobe units from existing constructions. ► Cylindrical adobe specimens subjected to simple compression and splitting tests. ► Characterization of strength capacity, stiffness and deformation evolution. ► Linear correlations between the evaluated properties.
Abstract A study of the mechanical properties of adobe bricks collected from houses and land dividing walls in Aveiro district, Portugal, representative of existing traditional constructions, was conducted. Cylindrical adobe specimens were subjected to simple compression and splitting tests. From these tests it was possible to evaluate the strength capacity, stiffness and deformation evolution for increasing loading. Correlations between the evaluated properties were determined, and the results obtained for houses and land dividing walls were compared. This study contributes for the characterization of adobes traditionally used in Aveiro district, and provides reference values that can be considered in rehabilitation processes.
