The effects of the degradation of brick-clay structure and demolition
of embedded buildings on the stability of Yulin City Wall
It is significant to study the stability of ancient city wall for its conservation and restoration under the environmental and human destruction conditions. In this study
the current preservation situation of Yulin City Wall (YCW) were investigated
and the mechanical properties of masonry structures and rammed soil in city wall were tested by in-situ tests and laboratory experiments. The overall stability and stress-strain state of the city wall were analysed with numerical method when the brick-clay structures turned degraded
and the embedded buildings were demolished. The research results show that: 1) The safety factor is smaller than the design value of 1.3 when the average water content of the rammed soil is larger than 11.5% during the rainfall infiltration stage or the denudation length of rammed soil at the top of the city wall larger than 2.5 m. However
the degradation of masonry structures has little effect on the stability of the city wall
which indicates that the strength of the rammed soil plays a determining role on the overall stability of the city wall. 2) The plastic zone almost extends to the top of the city wall
when 2 or 3-storey high buildings embedded 3.0 m depth or 1-story high buildings embedded 2.5 m depth in the bottom of the city wall are demolished. 3) The plastic zone may extend to the top of the city wall and will collapse
when the penetrative door with the width larger than 4.0 and 1-storey high building with the width larger than 2.5 m are demolished
respectively. It has no influence on the stability of the city wall
when the penetrative buildings with the section size smaller than 2.0 m×2.0 m are demolished.
