Study of Long-Term Strength Experiment on Xigeda Soil

Abstract:

Xigeda Soil, as a kind of typical soil widespread in west region of Panzhihua, is widely applied to local engineering construction. Limesoil made by adding quicklime into Xigeda soil is also extensively used in wall construction of rural house building. The strength of wall material of Xigeda limesoil wall is measured in this paper through contrast test, meanwhile, strength of rammed limesoil with 1:9 volume ratio is measured on 60th day and 36th month respectively. The test result indicates that compressive strength of limesoil increased by 67% and its tensile strength also greatly increased, which is beneficial to its application in wall engineering construction. This paper also makes an analysis of limesoil mechanism of cementation and points out that Xigeda limesoil is a favorable wall material for house building.
