Abstract |
|
In world many hazards occur which may be natural or manmade. Earthquake is major natural hazard which causes loss of life and collapse of many structures. Non-engineered structures also referred as vernacular structures made of locally available materials, they can be more vulnerable to damage during earthquake, and hence we have tried to study this kind of structures. Vernacular housing varies with various factor such as locality, locally available material, temperature, region etc. In this study, focus is on the vernacular structure which are made from earth also known as earth rammed structure. The main purpose of this study is to understand the behaviour of vernacular structure (earth rammed) under seismic effect and dynamic loading. Paper presented shows one part of the study i.e. scaling and modelling. In this study two model was casted for the geometric scale of 1:3 of square shape. |
