Title: Seismic Performance of Innovative Straw Bale Wall Systems (NEES-2009-0666)

Year Of Curation: 2014

Description: The objective of this project was to determine the capacity of four earthen plastered, load bearing, thin straw bale wall assemblies under in-plane cyclic loading, and the performance of a small full-scale straw bale house using bi-axial shake table simulation.
