Abstract
•A coupled hygrothermal model has been developed and implemented in COMSOL.•The model is validated on experimental data of metric rammed earth wall.•It is used to assess the accuracy of common simplifying assumptions.•Some of these simplifications should not be done to model earthen materials.
