Abstract:In this work, the performance and mechanism of a Chinese traditional sucrose-modified rammed earth-lime were discussed in lab for its potential utilization in the restoration of rammed earth-lime architectural heritages. The results showed that the addition of sucrose would effectively improve compressive strength and wet-dry resistance of rammed earth-lime. The addition of sucrose would markedly increase the concentration of Ca 2+ in pore solution and prolong the duration of high temperature, thereby making t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
