A comparison between different typologies N2 - Traditional construction techniques utilizing earthen materials are often seen as inferior compared to modern ways of building. Structural earthen elements are perceived as vulnerable towards environmental influences (moisture, frost) and in particular towards the load scenarios during earthquakes. In comparison to the recent advances in research on stone and brick masonry, knowledge on the structural performance of earthen building construction is limited and scattered. Consequently the confidence in the performance of these earthen buildings constructed in the traditional techniques during earthquakes is fairly low. The research presented here aims to make a comparison of mechanical behavior between different earth masonry material typologies, consisting of earth block masonry, rammed earth and cob.

T1 - Charakterisierung und Modellierung der mechanischen Eigenschaften von Lehmsteinmauerwerk / Mechanical characterization and modelling of earth block masonry N2 - Das Wissen über die Materialeigenschaften und die Versagensmechanismen bei Lehmbaustoffen ist begrenzt und lückenhaft. Im Rahmen des EU-Projekts NIKER (www.niker.eu) wurden deshalb die mechanischen Eigenschaften von Bauteilen aus Lehm unter statischer Druck- und Schubbeanspruchung bestimmt. Ziel der Untersuchungen war es, grundlegende Daten zum Verformungs- und Versagensverhalten von Lehmbauteilen zu erhalten und dieses mit einem numerischen Modell zu beschreiben. Die Versuchsergebnisse belegten das spröde Verhalten von Lehmsteinmauerwerk bei uniaxialer Druckbelastung und zeigten, dass das Versagen von Lehmsteinmauerwerk infolge Schubbelastung nach Erstrissbildung in Mörtelfugen und Lehmsteinen durch Gleiten der Lehmsteine entlang der Mörtelfugen erfolgt. Die numerische Makromodellierung erbrachte zwar befriedigende Resultate hinsichtlich des Spannungs-Dehnungs-Verhaltens, jedoch konnte bei der simulierten Rissbildung keine Übereinstimmung mit den in den Versuchen beobachteten Rissbildern erzielt werden. Bei Lehmsteinmauerwerk ist also eine wesentlich aufwendigere Mikromodellierung notwendig, um das Versagensverhalten korrekt beschreiben zu können.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Knowledge of the material properties and failure mechanisms of earthen materials is limited and scattered. Within the framework of the NIKER project (www.niker.eu) funded by EC, the mechanical properties of earthen material elements were therefore determined under static compression and shear loads. The aim was to obtain fundamental data on deformation behaviour and failure mechanisms of earthen material structural elements and to describe them by means of a numerical model. The test results confirmed the brittle behaviour of earth block masonry under monoaxial compressive load and showed that the failure of earth block masonry under shear load occurs by sliding of the earth blocks along the mortar joints after initial cracking in mortar joints and earth block. Numerical macro modelling showed satisfying results with regard to stress-strain behaviour, but the simulated crack pattern was not consistent with experimental observations. In the case of earth block masonry, it is thus necessary to use micro modelling approaches in order to correctly predict the failure process at local level.

Die Qualität der industriellen Fertigung dieser Produktgruppe hat inzwischen einen Stand erreicht, der vergleichbar mit dem anderer Bauprodukte ist. Lehm-Putzmörtel gibt es als Universalputze für ein- oder mehrlagige Anwendung oder in Form von Unter-, Ober- oder Feinputzen. Lehmsteine werden in verschiedenen Größen und mit Lochung angeboten. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften verschiedener Lehmsteinsorten sind geprägt durch Druckfestigkeiten bis 11 N/mm2, mit üblichen Werten bei 2 bis 5 N/mm2. Ein kritischer Punkt ist die Abhängigkeit der Festigkeitseigenschaften der Lehmsteine von der Materialfeuchte. Die vorliegenden Untersuchungen haben jedoch gezeigt, dass in einem Luftfeuchtebereich von 40 bis 70 % RLF die Druckfestigkeit von Lehmsteinen verhältnismäßig konstant ist. Mauerwerk, errichtet mit Lehmsteinen und Lehm-Mauermörtel, zeigt ähnliche Druckfestigkeiten und E-Module wie Mauerwerk, das mit Porenbetonsteinen errichtet wurde. Infolge einer geringeren Haftscherfestigkeit zwischen Lehmmörtel und Lehmstein ist die Schubfestigkeit von Lehmsteinmauerwerk vergleichsweise niedrig.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Properties of industrially produced earthen building products for masonry and behaviour of earth block masonry. The contribution gives an overview of the properties of industrially produced earthen building products for masonry. In the meantime the quality of the industrial production of this group of building materials reached a level similar to that of other products for construction. Earth plasters exist as plasters for universal, one or multi layer applications or as lower, upper or finish plasters. Earth blocks are provided in different sizes and with different perforations. The mechanical properties of different earth block types are signified by compressive strength of up to 11 N/mm2 but are typically in a range between 2 and 5 N/mm2. A critical point is the correlation of the strength of earthen materials with their moisture content. Results from earth blocks showed that in a relative humidity window between 40 and 70 % rh the compressive strength of earth blocks is fairly constant. Masonry made from earth block and earth mortar exhibited compressive strength and elastic modules similar to masonry made with aerated autoclaved concrete blocks. The shear strength of earth block masonry, however, is fairly low, due to the weak bond between earth block and earth mortar.

T1 - Building codes and standards in earth building - current situation in Germany N2 - Today, building is a complicated commercial process characterised by legalised agreements between all participants. For commercial building projects, all materials and constructions have to conform to building standards and regulations. Material properties must be reproducible in standardised test procedures. This also applies for the control of the quality of production of earth building materials and constructions. Building conservation is a part of this process. Generally, national building standards have to reflect the current situation of building materials / construction systems of that country for which they have been developed.

T1 - Calibration of partial safety factors for earth block masonry under compression loading N2 - The goal of the present study is to assess the feasibility to develop a first reliable database of materials parameters for Earth Block Masonry (EBM). The database is crucial when defining the materials safety factors. In the first part an experimental campaign of compressive tests were carried out on two types of earth block and two types of earth mortar. The results showed that the mean variation of the compressive strength was remarkably less than expected. This low variation is related to a production with high quality standards of the materials employed. In the second part a partial safety factor for EBM under uniaxial compression was determined through the reliability method. The results proved the reliability of a common calculation method for EBM based on partial safety factors following the current standards.

T1 - Naturally ventilated earth timber constructions N2 - Earth, timber, fibre boards and insulation materials based on wooden and other natural fibres offer a variety of properties beneficial for eco innovative constructions that are able to improve the energy and resource efficiency of buildings. Due to their porosity, natural building materials are vapour active and are able to buffer moisture. In combination with highly insulated and airtight but vapour permeable building envelopes, modern earth-timber constructions provide stable indoor humidity levels and can therefore be naturally ventilated while achieving highest energy efficiency standards. Experimental evidence suggests that monitored pilot buildings in Berlin do show healthy indoor air humidity levels (around 50%) in wintertime, while mechanically ventilated buildings demonstrate significantly lower values (around 25%), which have to be considered as uncomfortable and unhealthy. The application of building materials being poor in chemical emissions, particularly volatile organic compounds (VOC) and radon, improves the indoor air quality further, so that intermittent ventilation twice a day will be sufficient to provide healthy indoor air quality. The air quality in critical rooms (e.g. small bedrooms), demonstrating a smaller air volume, should be monitored if appropriate ratios of room size to occupancy level cannot be realised. Through night time ventilation in summer, vapour active earth-timber constructions provide evaporative cooling (humidity adsorption at night time and desorption during the day). As a result, indoor temperatures of earth-timber buildings range around 8 °C below the outside temperature peak, when an appropriate glazing ratio is reflected. The EU funded research project H-house is investigating various construction materials regarding water vapour adsorption as well as emission and absorption of harmful substances. Based on this investigation new wall constructions are designed to provide a healthier indoor environment.

T1 - Analysis and diagnosis of earthen buildings: the case of Ambel preceptory in Aragon, Spain N2 - This study presents diagnostic techniques to assess the structural vulnerability of earthen buildings. Medieval structures at Ambel (near Zaragoza, Spain), once a preceptory or monastic house belonging to the Military Orders, provide a useful case study. After more than a thousand years of construction, failure and repair from the 10th century to the present day, Ambel preceptory today is characterised by marked inhomogeneities: construction materials and structural typologies are juxtaposed, with structural discontinuities at the interfaces between construction phases. This paper argues that, while static analysis is an essential prerequisite before a suitable maintenance program can be defined, no evaluation of the structural behaviour of any historic building can ignore an understanding of the building’s history.

A1 - Ziegert, C. T1 - Earth block masonry, rammed earth and cob: earthen components from different construction techniques and their structural performance N2 - Both in developed and developing countries, modern building materials tend to be preferred to traditional earthen construction. Reasons include low durability, inadequate performance under seismic loading and, in developing countries, a wish to replace what is perceived as 'poor' with what is perceived as 'rich'. In an age when building permissions and construction standards are a must, particularly in seismic areas, even when an owner is willing to build in earth, construction approval needs to be granted: we rely on values and standards to build, but the necessary data on material properties and structural performance of earthen building techniques is scarce if compared to the abundance of data for other materials (clay brick masonry, concrete, steel) available to the engineer. At the same time, traditional builders' skills, knowledge and confidence in earthen building techniques are decreasing if not disappearing. A wallette testing campaign was thus carried out with the aim of filling this knowledge gap. Prior to the wallette campaign, material properties, including composition and physical-mechanical parameters, were determined. Compression and diagonal compression (shear) tests were then performed, and a basic analysis of the mechanical behaviour of structural elements built in cob is provided in relation to earth block (adobe) masonry and rammed earth elements. Cob, shown to have low compressive resistance, has a relatively ductile post-peak behaviour if compared to earth block masonry specimens which, as expected, show a marked brittle behaviour. In terms of shear strength, cob performs relatively well in view of its low compressive strength. The study is part of our work within the framework of the ongoing project NIKER funded by the European Commission dealing with improving the structural performance of Cultural Heritage assets in order to limit earthquake hazards.

Für Bauherren und Planer ausschlaggebend ist häufig ihr extrem niedriger CO2-Äquivalentkennwert. Entsprechend wurden Lehmplatten in einem Projekt mit Pilotcharakter für den Umbau des alten Abgeordnetenhauses in Bonn zum Gebäude des Klimareferats der Vereinten Nationen verwendet. Bei der Entscheidung für die Bauweise mit Lehmplatten standen vor allem raumklimatische und schallschutztechnische, das heißt gesundheitliche Aspekte, aber auch der Wunsch nach erhöhter Nachhaltigkeit im Vordergrund. Durch das Fehlen einer Norm entstehen im Vergleich zu geregelten Bauprodukten jedoch noch deutliche Wettbewerbsnachteile für Produzenten von Lehmplatten. Planer und Anwender sehen aufgrund fehlender Prüfzertifikate nicht selten von der Anwendung dieser Lehmbaustoffe ab. Wie schon für Lehmsteine und Lehmmörtel sollen deshalb jetzt auch für Lehmplatten an der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) in dem Projekt StandardBoard Grundlagen für eine Produktnorm geschaffen werden. Darin ist als Projektpartner der Hersteller Conluto beteiligt. Zweck des in Erarbeitung befindlichen Regelwerks ist es, über die Festlegung von Qualitätsanforderungen und Prüfvorschriften die Gebrauchstauglichkeit von Lehmplatten sicherzustellen und somit einerseits Sicherheit für Planer und Anwender und andererseits Vergleichbarkeit und damit Konkurrenzfähigkeit zu konventionellen Plattenprodukten für gleiche Einbaubereiche zu erreichen. Darüber hinaus stellt sie ein Instrument dar, um die besonderen ökologischen und bauphysikalischen Eigenschaften der Lehmbaustoffe hervorzuheben. Die Erarbeitung des Regelwerks erfolgt in enger Abstimmung mit dem Dachverband Lehm e. V. (DVL). N2 - In recent years. the utilization of modern building materials made from soil has extended considerably. For building principals and designers. this decision is often determined by their extremely low carbon dioxide equivalent. A paradigm is the application of earth panels in the conversion of the former House of Representatives in Bonn to the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The choice of earth panels was determined not only by considerations of indoor climate and acoustic insulation issues. but particularly by an endeavour to attain a high level of sustainability. The lack of a standard causes producers of earth panels to experience considerable competitive disadvantages. With the absence of test certificates. designers as well as implementers refrain from using earth materials. The project StandardBoard has been initiated with the purpose of developing the basis for a product standard for earth panels. being realized at the BAM. where also standards for earth blocks and earth mortars have been developed. The BAM is cooperating with the project partner Conluto. a manufacturer of earth panels. The object of the standard being in development is to guarantee the usability of earth panels by stating quality requirements and testing procedures and thereby to achieve safety for designers and users as well as competitiveness with established panels. Furthermore. a standard allows to emphasize the special ecological and climatic features of earth materials. The drafting of the standard is coordinated in close relation to the German Association for Earth Construction (DVL). T2 - Lehm 2016 - 7.

(DVL), the German umbrella organisation for building with earth. These standards are in accordance with the requirements of the EU Regulation No. 305/2011 which came into force in Germany on 1 July 2013. These basic requirements introduce provisions relating not only to the safety of buildings and other construction works but also to health, durability, energy economy, protection of the environment and other important aspects in the public interest. The basic requirements are defined by essential characteristics expressed by levels or classes, or in a description. The relevant essential characteristics define the performance of the construction product. The DIN 18945, 46 and 47 outline unified test procedures describing the relevant essential characteristics of the earth building products as well as systems for assessing and verifying the constancy of their performance. The relevant systems of verification are determined by a national Technical Assessment Body (TAB), which in Germany is the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik DIBt.

T1 - A collaborative engineering and archaeology project to investigate decay in historic rammed earth structures: The case of the Medieval preceptory in Ambel N2 - This study assesses the structural vulnerability of part of a later medieval earthen building at Ambel (near Zaragoza, Spain), once a preceptory or monastic house belonging to the Military Orders. An inspection of its morphology and materials coupled with the results of an extensive campaign of static monitoring reveals marked structural inhomogeneities, the product of more than a thousand years of construction, failure, and repair from the 10th century to the present day. Building materials are inappropriately juxtaposed, there are discontinuities between construction phases and fundamental concerns remain over the long-term stability of the structure. The current condition of the structure is mainly influenced by structural discontinuities introduced at the time of construction, the unintended consequences of repair and modification and the material decay that has affected the base of the rammed earth walls. The overall findings of the static monitoring show that there is no related damage, variations in crack widths are related to the building seasonal cycle. While static analysis is an essential prerequisite before a suitable maintenance program can be fully defined, this study argues that no evaluation of the structural behavior of any historic building can afford to ignore its archaeological “biography” of modification and repair.

Bemessungsvorschriften im konventionellen Mauerwerksbau und im Lehmmauerwerksbau waren aufgrund des prinzipiell gleichen Tragverhaltens stets eng miteinander verknüpft. Die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit durchgeführten Druckversuche an Lehmmauermörtel, Lehmsteinen und Lehmmauerwerk konnten zeigen, dass die Streuungen der Festigkeiten von Lehmbaustoffen aufgrund der industriellen Herstellung sehr gering sind. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass eine Bemessung auf Grundlage des semiprobabilistischen Bemessungskonzeptes in Anlehnung an den konventionellen Mauerwerksbau möglich ist. Neben einem ersten Vorschlag des Teilsicherheitsbeiwertes für den Lastzustand Druck werden Vorschläge für Prüfvorschriften im Lehmbau beziehungsweise deren Modifikation unterbreitet und künftige Forschungsschwerpunkte herausgearbeitet.
