Abstract
This report presents the technical aspects of the experimental test campaign relevant to the project “DIF Adobe”, whose proposal was successfully reviewed and selected in the framework of the JRC OPEN ACCESS programme. The research conducted concerns the investigation of the compressive strength of two different mixtures of adobe (in ovendried and air-dried conditions) at three different strain-rates ranging from static to fast dynamic. Specimens were provided by the User.Sample preparation and test programme was proposed by User Access Team according to proposal and agreed with ELSA-HopLab laboratory staff. Preliminary static tests, granulometry and density characterization tests on the adopted mixtures were performed by User Access Team at the Laboratory of Geomechanics of Delft University of Technology and at the Royal Military Laboratory in Breda (the Netherlands).
