Effects of Mix Proportionand Construction Factors on Compressive Strength and Shape Change of Rammed Earth Wall Using Traditional Technique

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify Effects of Mix Proportion and Construction Factors on Compressive Strength and Shape Change of Rammed Earth Wall Using Traditional Technique.As a result, the following conclusions of tained:1)Maximum compressive strength was measured when the ratio of Kanto loam to fine aggregate to slaked lime was 1:0.5:0.15.MgCl2 concentration of the aqueous solution is 15% when considering the rate of volume change.2)Maximum compressive strength was Construction factors was measured at Rammer fall height of 30 cm,number of compaction times 25,material age 7 days demolding and air curing.3)Compressive strength due to compaction energy become a maximum among generally 200×103 to 300×103J/cm3,after that,it was decreased.4)Compressive strength due to the curing method,increases with the passage of materials age at both curing method,air curing was greater than the sealed curing.
