Evaluation of Reinforcement Effects for Earth Cliff of Jiaohe Ancient City

Abstract:

The author adopted an in-situ test method of artificial arthquake survey to evaluate reinforcement effects of fissure grouting for earth cliff of Jiaohe ancient city in China. Based on field testing results of three fissures with different characteristics, we compared previous earth cliffs with reinforcement ones by means of grouting. Analysis results show that it is feasible to reinforce cliff by means of the composite method reported by authors, which jointly applies the grouting of Polystyrene (PS) material and the anchoring technology for fissure earth-cliffs of Jiaohe ancient city. Meanwhile, the composite method of reinforcement could obviously improve the integral strength of potentially dangerous cliffs. This means PS material should be a safety media to apply into the reinforcement and the author’s method could be helpful to protect the ruins of Jiaohe ancient city.
