ZHAO Hai-ying, WANG Ren, LI Zui-xiong, et al. Tentative research on the consolidated Great Wall of Qin Dynasty at the Warring States[J]. 2007, 28(S1).DOI:
The Great Wall was announced as the first batch of key cultural relic unit under State Protections by State Department in 1961
and was listed as the world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1987. And these constructions are humankind’s precious cultural heritage
and their valuable artistic value is rare worldwide. Through the compression test
the shear strength test and the infiltrate test
the results of test indicate that the compression strength and the shear strength increases with the PS material consistency and the reinforcement times
and that he PS meterials can be multiple application. At the same time
the results show that the 7 % PS materials is the best consistency to consolidating the soil of the Great Wall. In addition
the permeability coefficient of the reinforced sample decreases and the permeability meets the requirements of preservation of cultural relics. By a comprehensive analysis
the 3 %—5 % of PS is suitable for consolidating the wall whose dry density is 1.5—1.7 g•cm-3
but 5 %—7 % of PS is fit for consolidating the wall whose dry density is 1.3—1.50g•cm-3. In sum
the key to protecing ruins is choosing the suitable PS consistency material and consolidation times in order to enhancing penetrability of PS material. So this reinforced method could be effective in protecting the Great Wall of Qin Dinasty in the Warring States in Northwest China.
