N2 - This study aims to develop a novel internal reinforcing method using sand-coated reeds to enhance the in-plane cyclic lateral behavior of adobe walls. The experimental program involves five adobe wall panels tested under a constant pre-compression stress of 0.3 MPa combined with incrementally increasing lateral loading reversals. The results are compared in terms of failure mode, hysteretic curve, ductility, stiffness degradation, dissipated energy, viscous damping ratio, and residual deformation. It is found that the in-plane seismic behavior of adobe walls can be significantly improved by using sand-coated reeds as a sustainable natural reinforcement with the combined vertical and horizontal scheme surpassed the others.
