The influence of hydric state on the elasto-viscoplastic behaviour of a unstabilised rammed earth (URE) wall has yet to be studied in the literature. This paper presents an experimental campaign on a rammed earth wall. The aim is to evaluate the link

Moisture ingress through capillarity has a great effect on the mechanical properties of unstabilized rammed earth (URE). Limited experimental studies exist to quantify this effect. In this paper, an experimental setup for the capillary test was desig

Rammed earth structures are very sensitive to hydric conditions. Experimental studies have been undertaken to understand the link between liquid water transfer and mechanical behavior at structural scale. This study was done on a prismatic rammed ear
