Abstract

The flat jack test is one of the most used investigation techniques in the area of architectural heritage conservation. Unfortunately, there are no results available in the literature reporting the use of the flat jack technique in cob walls. This paper presents the firs experimental campaign performed to validate the use of this Minor Destructive Technique (MDT) to determine the levels of stress in cob walls and their mechanical properties. Furthermore, three workshops organized and facilitated with the aim of increasing public engagement and awareness towards the conservation of earthen vernacular architecture are also presented.
