Resumen

Heavy damage to adobe constructions observed after earthquakes, experimental programmes and numerical simulations have demonstrated high vulnerability levels that require appropriate strengthening measures. Given that a large fraction of adobe constructions are located in less developed countries, there is a need for effective strengthening techniques that are low-cost and easy to install at the same time. In this chapter, a comprehensive selection of research studies is critically reviewed to provide useful information to researchers and professionals involved in the conservation and retrofit of adobe constructions. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
