Analyzing the Literature on Seismic Resilience in Rammed Earth Construction: A Cartographic Approach

Yassine RAZZOUK, Khadija BABA, Sana SIMOU

Abstract. The study explores the seismic impact on Rammed Earth Constructions through an analysis of various bibliographic factors. These factors encompass publication volume, authorship, geographical origin, institutional affiliations, and relevant scholarly journals. Employing a rigorous examination of bibliographic data retrieved from reputable databases such as Scopus, the research identifies a discernible uptick in pertinent publications since 2014. Moreover, it discloses prominent figures within this academic domain, delineating their geographical origins, institutional affiliations, and contributions to influential journals. Additionally, the investigation scrutinizes prevalent keywords in search queries and recurrent themes in research undertakings. The citation analysis is directed towards identifying noteworthy authors and seminal documents that hold substantive significance within this scholarly discourse. The principal aim of this inquiry is to discern primary areas of interest by analyzing co-citations among authors. Biased assessments have been systematically excluded, and the linguistic framework employed adheres to an objective and value-neutral stance. Technical terminology is elucidated upon initial usage, and conventional academic sections are seamlessly integrated into the narrative.
