Seismic Strengthening Techniques for Adobe Construction
Heavy damage to adobe constructions observed after earthquakes, experimental programmes and numerical simulations have demonstrated high vulnerability levels that require appropriate strengthening measures. Given that a large fraction of adobe constructions are located in less developed countries, there is a need for effective strengthening techniques that are low-cost and easy to install at the same time. In this chapter, a comprehensive selection of research studies is critically reviewed to provide useful information to researchers and professionals involved in the conservation and retrofit of adobe constructions.
