Abstract:There is a significant number of structures in the world built with earth materials that deteriorate over time. Typically, this deterioration is neither quantified nor used as input for safety analysis of ancient infrastructure. The aim of this work is to propose a novel way to consider the influence of the weathering on the mechanical properties of adobe units. To achieve this objective, adobe samples recovered from a deteriorated sector (old adobe) of a colonial-style chapel built in adobe (Tausa, Colombia) … Show more
