Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a process for reinforcing an ancient building rammed earth wall by combining a wood structure with bamboo reinforcements, and belongs to the technical field. Background Art

[0002] Rammed earth walls are extensively used in traditional architecture, ancient city walls, and tombs. Protecting and effectively utilizing historical buildings, especially those with historically valuable rammed earth walls, is a crucial means of preserving a city's historical context and highlighting its culture. This is of vital practical significance for the inheritance and development of national culture and the growth of local tourism economies. In recent years, the state has undertaken large-scale conservation and restoration projects for protected historical buildings. These projects often encounter the urgent need to repair the damage to rammed earth walls.

[0003] Traditional rammed earth wall construction suffers from poor strength and durability. A drawback and bottleneck in the development of traditional rammed earth walls is their lack of strength. Water erosion and soaking can lead to collapse, loss of strength and load-bearing capacity. They are also susceptible to freeze-thaw and wind erosion, which impacts their durability and service life. Due to their age, exposure to wind, rain, and weathering can cause surface loosening, cracks, voids, weathering, bulging, or surface peeling. Furthermore, due to limitations in socioeconomic development and productivity at the time, many historically valuable rammed earth structures were largely unprotected, necessitating urgent attention to their seismic fortification.

[0004] Chinese patent CN213953090U discloses a bamboo reinforcement structure for the restoration of ancient buildings. The bamboo reinforcement is used to improve the overall firmness during pouring. However, the structure is not repaired according to the original form of the building and does not achieve the effect of restoring the old to its original state. This violates the principles of cultural relics and historical sites restoration in the "Guidelines for the Protection of Chinese Cultural Relics and Historic Sites", such as "no change to the original state", "minimum intervention", and "use of appropriate protection technology".

[0042] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] See also Figures 1 to 7 , the invention provides a technical solution:

[0044] A process for reinforcing an ancient building rammed earth wall with a combination of a wood structure and bamboo reinforcement comprises the following steps:

[0045] Before reinforcement, a certain number of holes are drilled in the existing rammed earth wall 1 and loose soil on the wall surface is removed. Then, the interface agent is sprayed on the surface of the existing rammed earth wall 1, the surface of the bamboo reinforcement net 3 and the wooden structural columns 2 in contact with the wall surface, and the wooden structural columns 2 and the bamboo reinforcement net 3 are fixed to the existing rammed earth wall 1 by through bolts 4. The wooden structural columns 2 and the bamboo reinforcement net 3 are connected by bamboo nails 9; then the gap between the wooden structural columns 2 and the existing rammed earth wall 1 is filled with soil grouting material 5; then the newly added rammed earth wall surface layer 6 is rammed until it reaches the bottom of the wooden ring beam 7; finally, the wooden ring beam 7 coated with the interface agent is installed, and the newly added rammed earth wall surface layer 6 is located below the wooden ring beam 7. The two ends of the wooden ring beam 7 and the top ends of the wooden structural columns 2 on both sides, that is, the intersection nodes of the wooden structural columns 2 and the wooden ring beam 7, are connected with flat irons 8, and the wooden ring beam 7 and the wooden structural columns 2 on both sides form a door frame shape.

[0046] Holes are drilled at predetermined locations on the existing rammed earth wall 1. The overall hole shape is "door" to facilitate the insertion of the through bolts 4. The size of the holes should match the size of the through bolts 4. The number of holes should not be too many and should be evenly distributed to prevent excessive weakening of the wall.

[0047] Removing loose soil from the surface of the existing rammed earth wall 1 reduces the effect of increased cross-section after reinforcement, preventing the thickness of the reinforced wall from being much greater than the original wall thickness. This loose soil can also affect the connection between the new and old rammed earth walls, resulting in insufficient connectivity between the walls.

[0048] An interface agent is sprayed on the surface of the existing rammed earth wall 1, the surface of the bamboo reinforcement net 3 and the wooden structural column 2 in contact with the wall surface. The bamboo reinforcement net 3 is made of a woven oblique bamboo reinforcement net. The woven oblique bamboo reinforcement net weaves oblique bamboo pieces arranged in the 45-degree direction and the 135-degree direction into a mesh surface staggered up and down by picking and pressing. The bamboo reinforcement net 3 made by the weaving process has a stronger connection and better integrity. Fixed lock buckles 10 are installed at some of the bamboo reinforcement intersections, that is, polygonal stainless steel fixed lock buckles are used to wrap the oblique bamboo reinforcement intersections at the oblique bamboo reinforcement intersections, and nails are driven into the stainless steel surface by a rivet gun to form a closed loop of the stainless steel fixed lock buckles. When installing the fixed lock buckles 10, there is no need to drill holes in the bamboo reinforcements, which avoids the bamboo reinforcements from splitting and damaging at the fixed lock buckles. At the same time, the integrity of the bamboo reinforcement net 3 with the fixed lock buckles 10 is significantly improved, and when subjected to external force, it is effectively prevented that a single bamboo reinforcement occurs bulging or pulling out.

[0049] The purpose of connecting the wooden structural column 2 and the bamboo reinforcement net 3 through the bamboo nails 9 is to fix the position of the bamboo reinforcement net 3 so that the bamboo reinforcement net 3 can bear the force and move together with the structure, preventing the bamboo reinforcement net 3 from being pulled out due to insufficient soil grip, resulting in structural damage.

[0050] Anchor the bamboo reinforcement net 3 between the two wooden structural columns 2 with bamboo nails 9; the two wooden structural columns 2 and the bamboo reinforcement net 3 are fixed to the surfaces of the left and right ends of the existing rammed earth wall 1 through the matching holes of the through-bolts 4;

[0051] The function of the soil grouting material 5 is to fill the gap between the wooden structural column 2 and the existing rammed earth wall 1, so that the structure is more compact and the connection effect between the wooden structural column 2 and the existing rammed earth wall 1 is better.

[0052] The rammed earth used is primarily fine aggregate, with a newly rammed earth layer thickness of 100mm. Too thick would have affected the original structure's usable space, while too thin would have been inconvenient to construct. The newly rammed earth surface restores any damage to the building's appearance during the reinforcement process, preserving the building's original historical atmosphere and achieving a restored, preserving-as-it-was effect.

[0053] A flat iron 8 is used at the intersection of the wooden structural column 2 and the wooden ring beam 7. The flat iron 8 is "L"-shaped, and its two ends are fixed above the wooden structural column 2 and the wooden ring beam 7 respectively, so that the wooden structural column 2 and the wooden ring beam 7 form a frame system, which bears force and deforms together, effectively improving the bearing capacity and seismic performance.

[0054] The bamboo reinforcement net 3 and the bamboo nails 9 are made of moso bamboo.

[0055] The wooden structural columns 2 and the wooden ring beam 7 are made of fir wood.

[0056] A device for making a bamboo reinforcement net, see Figures 4 to 7, including a base 11, slide rails 12 are provided on the front and rear sides of the base 11, brackets 13 are slidably connected to the two side slide rails 12, connecting rods 14 are fixedly connected to the tops of the two brackets 13, a first mounting plate 15 and a second mounting plate 16 are respectively fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the two connecting rods 14, an extrusion plate 17 is provided on the back of the first mounting plate 15, the extrusion plate 17 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 14, a plurality of buckle straps 18 are provided on the first mounting plate 15, a plurality of first bamboo ribs are vertically arranged on the first mounting plate 15, and the first bamboo ribs are fixed by the buckle straps 18. Each first bamboo rib is equipped with two buckle straps 18, and the two buckle straps 18 are respectively arranged at the head and tail ends of the first bamboo rib; a plurality of slot holes are provided on the first mounting plate 15, and a propping convex block 19 corresponding to the plurality of slot holes is provided on the extrusion plate 17. The propping convex block 19 is integrally in the shape of "冖". When the extrusion plate 17 is attached to the back of the first mounting plate 15, both ends of the propping convex block 19 pass through the slot holes to support the first bamboo rib into an arched shape. A plurality of binding straps 20 are also provided on the first mounting plate 15. Each binding strap 20 is arranged between two propping convex blocks 19, and the binding straps 20 and the propping convex blocks 19 are arranged at intervals. The binding straps 20 cooperate with the propping convex blocks 19 to make the first bamboo rib as a whole in a wavy shape; a plurality of fixing blocks 21 and triangular bottom plates 22 are provided on the second mounting plate 16, and a plurality of second bamboo ribs are horizontally fixed on the second mounting plate 16 through the fixing blocks 21 and the triangular bottom plates 22. The fixing blocks 21 are arranged at the ends of the second bamboo ribs on the side far from the first mounting plate 15, and the triangular bottom plates 22 are arranged at the bottoms of the other ends of the second bamboo ribs to support the second bamboo ribs to make the second bamboo ribs in a horizontal state. A receiving groove is provided at the relative position of the triangular bottom plate 22 on the second mounting plate 16, and one side of the triangular bottom plate 22 close to the first mounting plate 15 is fixed on the side edge of the receiving groove through a torsion spring.

[0057] Specifically, when weaving is required, the first bamboo tendon is vertically placed on the first mounting plate 15 and fixed by the buckle straps 18 at both ends, and at the same time, it is prevented from blocking when the second bamboo tendon is interwoven. Then, by pushing the extrusion plate 17, the whole extrusion plate 17 is fitted to the back of the first mounting plate 15. At this time, both ends of the support bumps 19 in the shape of "冖" pass through the slot holes and reach the back of the first bamboo tendon, propping up the first bamboo tendon to form an arch. Then, the first bamboo tendon in the middle section between the two support bumps 19 is pressed down by the spaced binding straps 20, making the whole first bamboo tendon form a wavy shape. Then, one end of the second bamboo tendon is horizontally inserted into the fixed block 21. The fixed block 21 has a certain height. Therefore, after the second bamboo tendon is inserted into the fixed block 21, it is at a high position relative to the part of the first bamboo tendon pressed down by the binding strap 20, and at the same time, after the second bamboo tendon is inserted into the fixed block 21, it is at a low position relative to the arched part of the first bamboo tendon propped up by the support bumps 19. The other end of the second bamboo tendon, that is, the bottom of the end close to the first mounting plate 15, is supported by the triangular bottom plate 22. One side of the triangular bottom plate 22 close to the first mounting plate 15 is fixed on the side edge of the receiving groove by a torsion spring, and the hypotenuse of the triangular bottom plate 22 is close to the first mounting plate 15. When weaving, the two first mounting plates 15 and the second mounting plate 16 are pushed towards each other. First, when the second bamboo tendon and the first bamboo tendon are interlaced, the triangular bottom plate 22 is pressed down into the receiving groove through the torsion spring. At this time, the second bamboo tendon passes through the middle of the support bumps 19 in the shape of "冖", that is, passes under the first bamboo tendon, and then passes above the first bamboo tendon pressed down by the binding strap 20. In this way, the bamboo tendon net 3 woven by picking one and pressing one can be formed. At this time, release the binding strap 20, the buckle strap 18 and pull back the extrusion plate 17, and then pull out the formed bamboo tendon net 3 from the fixed block 21 and trim it into a suitable shape.

[0058] The working principle of the above-mentioned technological process of the wooden structure and bamboo tendon combined reinforcement of the ancient rammed earth wall is as follows:

[0059] S1: Open holes at the predetermined positions on the existing rammed earth wall 1;

[0060] S2: Remove the loose floating soil on the surface of the existing rammed earth wall 1;

[0061] S3: Spray the interface agent on the surface of the existing rammed earth wall 1, the surface of the bamboo tendon net 3 and the wooden structural columns 2 in contact with the wall surface;
