Experimental Research on Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Modified Rammed Earth Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

Taking the mix proportion of rammed earth dwellings in Anji as the basic standard, the physical properties, thermal properties, mechanical properties of rammed earth in various mix proportion have been tested by means of experiments. The results showed that the proportion of hydrated lime added to the rammed earth have a direct influence on the thermal conductivity, specific heat, compressive strength and shear strength of rammed earth specimens, the thermal and mechanical properties of modified rammed earth material is better when hydrated lime in the proportion of 10%~20%.
