    Modelling Interfacial Behaviour of Cement Stabilized Rammed Earth Using Cohesive Contact Approach
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Pavan Kumar Reddy, T.; Pavan, G.S.
    A monolithic construction formed by compacting processed soil in progressive layers in a formwork is called a rammed earth wall. A lot of applications of using rammed earth walls for both load bearing and non-load bearing can be seen across the world and carbon content is low in this building material. The construction of rammed earth structures involves layered compaction, thus forming an interface between two layers. Modelling of interface plays an important role in the strength and durability of these structures. The interface is modelled using a cohesive contact approach and the response of the rammed earth triplet is obtained. The slope of load vs displacement curve of the rammed earth triplet is 81% accurate with the experimental slope and the peak load of the triplet is 82% accurate with the experimental peak load. Thus, the comparison of load versus displacement obtained from the finite element method with experimental data of load versus displacement yields almost similar results. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
