Calcined ginger nuts (CGN)-based grouts are widely utilized in anchoring conservation of unstable earthen sites in the northwest of China. However, the long-term performance of the anchor system, which is dominated by the durability of anchor grouts in the real environment remains unclear. In this study, durability of CGN admixed with fly ash (F) and quartz sand (S) in the real environment were evaluated regarding physical properties (density, surface hardness, water penetration capacity, and permeability), soluble salts content and micro-structure (SEM). Grouts concretions of CGN admixed with F and S were buried at the feet of Ming Great Wall, Gulang County, Gansu Province, China for six years. The results indicate that two decay patterns including extensive crack formations along specimens' edges and micro-cracks and materials losses (granular disintegration) on the surface were captured. Moreover, crust structure, which is inferred as carbonation front was detected on the surface of specimens. The performance of the grouts in the real environment is quite different from that in the laboratory, in particular, specimens of CGN admixed with S singly were already broken due to the crack formation. Long-term performance priority of CGN-based grouts is CGN-FS>CGN-F>CGN-S. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

DYNAMIC loads ,CONSERVATION & restoration ,BUILDING sites - Abstract
Since 2006, with the implementation of a series of national research projects in the field of earthen site conservation, the Chinese theoretical foundation and technological conservation system for the protection of earthen sites in arid environments has gradually formed. However, there are some global problems such as an unclear relationship between characteristics of diseases on sites and their existing environment, unclear deterioration mechanisms under multi-field coupling, immature stability control technology under dynamic loading, the poor suitability of protection process quality assessment equipment, and a lack of systematic research on comprehensive protection synergy mechanisms. On the basis of summarizing the research achievements in the field of earthen site conservation in China for more than 30 years, and a large number of practical experiences in earthen site reinforcement engineering, this paper expounds the multi-field coupling characteristics of earthen site construction technology, the climatic environment, and dynamic loading and protection measure activities, clarifies the main characteristics of the protection of earthen sites in China at present, puts forward the key scientific and technical problems existing in the conservation of earthen sites, constructs a picture of the research on the conservation of earthen sites under the action of multi-field coupling, and discusses the protection projects of earthen sites under different environments. We hope the technological system can provide support for the transformation of earthen site conservation from the rescuing conservation stage to the stage of both rescuing and preventive conservation, and move the foundation of earthen site conservation towards the stage of preventive protection.

In this study, calcined ginger nuts (CGN) grouts admixed by fly ash (F) and quartz sand (S) was investigated on its suitability for anchoring use in earthen sites. According to requirement for the consistency of grout, the mix proportions were determined with 0.45 for CGN_F, 0.33 for CGN_S and 0.35 for CGN_F_S, by mass, to study their physical and mechanical property and durability. Test results indicated that use of fly ash can prolong the initial setting time of grout and admixture by fly ash and quartz sand leaded to lowest density and shrinkage, higher porosity, and highest strength. Accelerated aging tests indicated that admixture by fly ash led to a high resistance to fluctuation of temperature and humidity, sulfate attack and alkali environment; meanwhile, admixture by quartz sand resulted in high resistance to freeze-thaw action and water environment. As a compromise, CGN_F_S can get predominant durability. The paper shows that CGN_F_S grout is basically compatible to earthen sites and suitable for anchoring use in the conservation of earthen sites in terms of workability and durability.

The purpose of this research is to study the influence of aspect ratio and end conditions on the strength and failure mode of remolded soil samples in unconfined compressive strength tests. The digital image correlation method is used in this research to obtain the evolution process of the horizontal displacement field in remolded soil samples and analyze the deformation and failure characteristics in various sample sizes. Two-dimensional discrete element models of the soil samples are established to simulate the impact of different end-frictional conditions on stress-strain processes of samples. Results show that, with the growth of aspect ratios, the failure of samples transforms from tensile mode to shear mode, and the defects in the middle of samples become more obvious. Characteristic values of earthen sites' soil, such as peak strain, elastic modulus, and residual stress, change with various aspect ratios. The simulation results are in accordance with typical experiments, thus verifying the rationality of established discrete element models. By comparing the particle displacement directions and the respective proportions, the constraint caused by loading plate on samples is proved to be one of the reasons for the size effect. When the aspect ratio is higher than 1.0, the size effect disappears in end-frictionless samples. The research has practical significance to deepen understanding of the mechanism for unconfined compressive strength of site soil samples and provides scientific references for protection and reinforcement of earthen sites.

Calcined ginger nut (CGN) has been applied in grouting mortars for anchoring unstable earthen sites, but the lack of scientific research limits its application. In this study, CGN-based grouts admixed with fly ash (F), quartz sand (S), or both are evaluated. To explore the optimal mixture ratios, three types of mixing groups (five proportion gradients in each group) are established. All the grout specimens are buried and maintained outdoors, and their physical (shrinkage rate, density, elastic wave velocity, and permeability) and mechanical properties are continuously examined over 180 days. The solidification processes at different ages are simultaneously observed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The results indicate that the physical properties of grouts are influenced significantly by initial moisture content but then remain steady for approximately 15 days. Quartz sand can effectively reduce the shrinkage rate of grouts as well as adjust their density and permeability, and might be considered as an ideal mixing material for CGN. In the solidification process, grouts are rapidly solidified after the initial hydration reaction, and the carbonation reaction in the later stage constantly improves their mechanical strength, with physical properties kept relatively stable. SEM images show fly ash and quartz sand particles are cemented by CaCO 3 crystals. Through comprehensive comparison, the grouts with the mass ratio of CGN and S at 1:1 are found to better satisfy requirements that grouts should be compatible with earthen sites.
