SHEAR STRENGTH OF STRAW BALE PLASTERS

摘要：

Experimental studies are beginning to provide the necessary data to support the development of seismic design provisions for straw bale wall construction. A series of tests were undertaken to characterize the shear strength of several different plasters used in straw bale wall construction: an earthen plaster, a lime plaster, and a cement plaster (stucco). The plaster shear strengths, which are expected to vary with fc in the case of earthen plasters and √fc in the case of cement plaster, where fc= cube compression strength, are determined for unreinforced plasters subjected to monotonic shear and for reinforced plasters subjected to both monotonic and reversed cyclic shear displacement histories. Described in this paper is a panel shear test apparatus developed for this work and results for the earthen plaster.
