Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of historical building restoration technology, and specifically relates to a construction method for oyster shell lime in historical buildings. Background Technology

[0002] Oyster shell lime, a natural cementing material widely used in traditional architecture in southern Zhejiang, exhibits performance significantly affected by the curing environment. Even with the same mix ratio, oyster shell lime mortar shows marked differences in key performance indicators such as drying shrinkage, surface hardness, and water absorption under varying construction conditions. Currently, oyster shell lime plastering primarily relies on traditional bricklayer experience, lacking scientific performance prediction, material modification, and construction methods, leading to inconsistent quality in repair projects.

[0003] In existing technologies, methods such as the Abrams formula and the Bolomy formula, based on the water-cement ratio, are used to predict the 28-day strength of ordinary cement-based materials. However, these methods are not applicable to oyster shell lime materials, whose main hardening mechanism is carbonization. The hardening process of oyster shell lime is related to multiple factors such as CO2 diffusion and moisture evaporation, and its performance development law is fundamentally different from that of cement-based materials, making it impossible to directly apply existing prediction models.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a construction method for oyster shell lime in historical buildings is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a construction method for oyster shell lime plastering in historical buildings. By scientifically predicting key performance parameters such as surface hardness, volume shrinkage rate, and tensile bond strength of oyster shell lime at 28 days of age, and by dynamically adjusting the modification strategy of oyster shell lime and the amount of water poured into the base layer in combination with environmental temperature and humidity, the construction quality of the oyster shell lime plastering layer in historical buildings is ensured to meet protection requirements, effectively preventing common problems such as cracking and peeling, thereby improving the appearance and durability of historical building restoration projects.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention includes the following technical solutions:

[0007] A method for applying oyster shell lime mortar to historical buildings includes the following steps:

[0008] Step S1, Performance Prediction: The calculation model obtains the surface hardness, volume shrinkage rate, and tensile bond strength of the oyster shell grey sample after 28 days of curing.

[0009] The first step is to estimate the average on-site temperature T and average relative humidity H;

[0010] Step 2: Preparation of oyster shell lime test blocks: Prepare oyster shell lime paste in the laboratory, place the oyster shell lime paste in a mold and vibrate to form oyster shell lime test blocks, place the oyster shell lime test blocks in a constant temperature and humidity chamber with an average temperature of T and an average relative humidity of H for curing, demold after curing for 72 hours, and continue to place them in the curing chamber for curing for 7 days.

[0011] The third step is to test the surface hardness, volume shrinkage rate and tensile bond strength of the oyster shell specimens after 7 days of curing. The surface hardness P7, volume shrinkage rate w7 and tensile bond strength R7 were measured respectively.

[0014] Case 1: If △w≤0, △P≥0, and △R≥0, no modification is needed;

[0015] Case 2: If Δw≤0, ΔP, or ΔR is less than 0, metakaolin is used for modification alone;

[0016] Case 3: If △w>0, △P≥0, and △R≥0, use glutinous rice paste for modification alone;

[0017] Case 4: If Δw > 0, and either ΔP or ΔR is less than 0, use a combination of metakaolin and glutinous rice paste for modification;

[0018] Step S3, Adjustment of construction methods:

[0019] Step 1: Implement the determined oyster shell ash modification scheme;

[0020] The second step is to calculate the amount of water Q to be poured into the base layer based on the construction environment parameters and the predicted volume shrinkage rate of the oyster shell lime.

[0021] Step 3: Plastering the oyster shell gray wall surface.

[0022] Further, the preparation method of oyster shell lime pulp in step S1 includes: placing oyster shell lime raw material into a mixing tank, cutting dried hemp fibers into 5mm~10mm segments, weighing an appropriate amount of hemp fibers and water into the mixing tank according to the mass ratio of hemp fibers: oyster shell lime = 1:25 and water: oyster shell lime = 0.8:1; starting an electric mixer and stirring for 60 seconds, scraping the pulp on the tank wall and the mixing head back into the mixing tank. The above operation steps constitute one cycle, and the required oyster shell lime pulp is obtained after 5 cycles.

[0032] G m =min(4, 1.25·△w).

[0033] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the amount of water Q applied to the base layer in step S3 is as follows:

[0034] Q=Q min +k·w 28 ·T·(100−H),

[0035] In the formula, Q represents the water volume for the oyster shell lime base layer, in L / m². 2 Q min The minimum water requirement for foundation watering is typically 5, measured in L / m². 2 K is the adjustment factor, usually taken as 3.8 × 10⁻⁶. -4 The unit is L / (m) 2 (·℃·%)

The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] The following details the construction method of oyster shell lime in historical buildings according to the present invention.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 A construction method for oyster shell lime mortar in historical buildings includes the following steps:

[0047] Step S1, Performance Prediction: The calculation model obtains the surface hardness, volume shrinkage rate, and tensile bond strength of the oyster shell grey sample after 28 days of curing.

[0048] The first step is to estimate the average temperature T and average relative humidity H of the oyster plaster on the walls of the historical building during the construction period, i.e., the construction site.

[0049] The second step involves preparing oyster shell ash blocks in the laboratory and curing them for 7 days, specifically including:

[0050] Preparation of oyster shell lime pulp: Place the oyster shell lime raw material into a mixing tank. Cut the dried hemp fiber into 5mm~10mm fiber segments. Weigh an appropriate amount of hemp fiber and water into the mixing tank according to the mass ratio of hemp fiber: oyster shell lime = 1:25 and water: oyster shell lime = 0.8:1. Start the electric mixer and stir for 60 seconds. Scrape the pulp on the tank wall and the mixing head back into the mixing tank. The above operation steps constitute one cycle. After 5 cycles, the required oyster shell lime pulp is obtained.

[0051] Place the oyster shell slurry in a mold, vibrate to compact it, and then place it in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at temperature T and relative humidity H for curing. After curing for 72 hours, demold it and continue to place it in the curing chamber for curing until 7 days old.

[0052] The third step is to test the 7-day performance of the oyster shell ash specimens, namely surface hardness P7, volume shrinkage rate w7 and tensile bond strength R7.

[0053] The fourth step involves using the temperature and humidity of the curing environment and the various performance parameters measured after 7 days of curing with oyster shell lime cement mortar. Following the general calculation model below, by substituting the corresponding calculation coefficient k for each performance parameter, the surface hardness P of the oyster shell lime cement mortar at 28 days can be obtained. 28 Volume shrinkage rate w 28 and tensile bond strength R 28 ;

[0054] Specifically, the general calculation model formula is:

[0055] N 28 =N7×k×[1+1.2×10 -3 ·(T−20)]×[1−2.6×10 -5 ×(H−60) 2 ]

[0056] Where: N28 N7 represents the surface hardness (Shore D), volume shrinkage rate (%), or tensile bond strength of the oyster shell lime specimen after 28 days of curing, in kPa; N7 represents the surface hardness (Shore D), volume shrinkage rate (%), or tensile bond strength of the oyster shell lime specimen after 7 days of curing, in kPa; k is the calculation coefficient for each property, where the calculation coefficient k is 1.954 for surface hardness, 1.324 for volume shrinkage rate, and 1.855 for tensile bond strength; T is the average temperature during the curing process of the oyster shell lime, ranging from 0 to 40℃; H is the average relative humidity during the curing process of the oyster shell lime, ranging from 30% to 95%.

[0057] Step S2: Quantitatively determine the modification strategy: based on the predicted value P 28 w 28 R 28 Compared with the target value, dynamic decision-making on modification strategies and construction methods specifically includes:

[0058] Based on the predicted performance values ​​of oyster shell ash at 28 days of age, the difference between the predicted values ​​and the target values ​​is calculated.

[0059] When oyster shell lime is used for plastering the walls of historical buildings, the target performance parameters P0, w0, and R0 at 28 days are shown in Table 1 (which can be adjusted appropriately according to the grade and design requirements of the historical building):

[0060] Table 1 Target performance parameters of oyster shell ash at 28 days of age

[0061]

[0062] Calculate the difference between the predicted and target values ​​of each performance item over 28 days, ΔP = P 28 - P0, △w = w 28 - w0, △R=R 28 - R0; and determine:

[0063] If △w≤0, △P≥0, and △R≥0, the oyster shell lime does not require modification treatment and can be applied directly.

[0064] If Δw≤0, ΔP, or ΔR is less than 0, metakaolin is used to modify the oyster shell lime, and the metakaolin content is y. m The unit is %, and the calculation formula is:

[0065] y m =min[15,-2.5·min (△P,△R)],

[0066] If Δw>0, ΔP≥0, and ΔR≥0, glutinous rice paste is used to modify oyster shell ash, with a glutinous rice flour content of G. m The unit is %, and the calculation formula is:

[0067] G m =min(6,1.5·△ w ),

[0068] If Δw > 0, and either ΔP or ΔR is less than 0, then oyster shell ash is modified by compounding metakaolin and glutinous rice flour. The amounts of metakaolin and glutinous rice flour are respectively y m G m The units are all percentages, and the calculation formulas are as follows:

[0069] y m =min[12,-0.8·min (0,△P)△P-1.2·min (0,△R)],

[0070] G m =min(4, 1.25·△w),

[0071] Step S3, Adjustment of construction methods:

[0072] Step 1: Implement the determined oyster shell ash modification scheme;

[0073] The second step is to calculate the amount of water Q to be poured into the base layer based on the construction environment parameters and the predicted volume shrinkage rate of the oyster shell lime.

[0074] Step 3: Plastering the oyster shell gray wall surface.

[0075] Specifically: In addition to modifying the properties of oyster shell lime itself, during plastering, it is also necessary to adjust the amount of water poured into the bricks and mortar of the base layer beneath the oyster shell lime plaster layer based on the construction environment parameters and the predicted volume shrinkage rate of the oyster shell lime. This prevents premature loss of moisture from the mortar, ensures the normal carbonization reaction of the oyster shell lime, and guarantees effective adhesion between the oyster shell lime layer and the base layer. The amount of water poured into the base layer, Q, is expressed in L / m², and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0076] Q=Q min +k· w 28 ·T·(100−H),

[0077] In the formula, Q represents the water volume for the oyster shell lime base layer, in L / m². 2 Q min The minimum water requirement for foundation watering is typically 5, measured in L / m². 2 K is the adjustment factor, usually taken as 3.8 × 10⁻⁶. -4 The unit is L / (m) 2 (·℃·%)

[0078] w 28The predicted volume shrinkage rate of oyster shell lime after 28 days is %; T is the average temperature during the curing process of oyster shell lime, in °C; H is the average relative humidity during the curing process of oyster shell lime, in °C.

[0079] Specifically, the surface hardness test was performed using a Type D Shore hardness tester, and the method was in accordance with GB / T 531.1-2008;

[0080] The test methods for tensile bond strength and volume shrinkage rate are in accordance with JGJ / T 70-2009.

[0081] The above examples are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments only illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
