Abstract

The use of earth concrete wall in building is suitable for the sustainable development tendency in construction because earth concrete – a material bases on soil - is a material with many environmental advantages such as low toxicity, good hygric-thermal behavior, good absorption of volatile compounds, and strong “breathability”. This article presents the results of experimental study on the behavior of earth concrete wall with opening under in-plane loading. The earth concrete wall has dimensions of 1.5m x 2m x 0.2 m (LxHxt), containing an opening with a size of 1m x 1m x 0.2m. A reinforced concrete lintel is used at the top of opening. This wall is tested under a vertical load, concentrated at the middle wall top. The global behavior and failure mode of this tested wall is analyzed, and it is interesting to note that a lintel beam such as reinforced concrete lintel should be used at the top of opening to enhance the plasticity of structure
