New Method for Historic Rammed-earth Wall Characterization: The Almohade Ramparts of Malaga and Seville. Studies in conservation, 64 (6), 363-372. https://doi.org/10.1080/00393630.2018.1544429.2047-05840039-3630https://hdl.handle.net/11441/143488The goal of this research is to propose a new method of characterizing rammed-earth walls.Based on their historic building materials properties,five broad test groups were establishedfor the characterization: chemical and mineralogical composition, physical properties,mechanical properties, particle size distribution, and dating. These determinations can, inturn, be grouped into two different types: instrumental techniques such as XRF, XRD, andSEM-EDX, as well as adaptations of standard methods (mainly UNE-EN standards) forapplication to these materials. As case studies where the proposed method is applied, wepresent our research on the rammed-earth walls in the ramparts of Seville and Malaga(Spain), clearly showing the method’s capacity for comparing and differentiating differentrammed-earth wallsapplication/pdf10 p.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Rammed-earthMethodologyCharacterizationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1080/00393630.2018.1544429
