Effectiveness of the repair of unstabilised rammed earth with injection of mud grouts
The presence of cracks debilitates the structural performance of rammed earth. Grout injection is a repair solution put forward recently, where compatibility issues demand using mud grouts. Little is known on this topic, whereby an experimental program on the mechanical effectiveness of grout injection for repairing cracks in rammed earth was performed. Specimens tested under bending and diagonal compression were retested after repair with injection of mud grouts. Mud grouts incorporating the original soil of the rammed earth are shown to perform better and their injection achieves satisfactory shear strength recovery, but is less effective in recovering initial shear stiffness. ; This work was partly financed by FEDER funds through the Competitivity Factors Operational Programme - COMPETE and by national funds through FCT – Foundation for Science and Technology within the scope of projects POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007633 and POCI-01-0145-FEDER-016737 (PTDC/ECM-EST/2777/2014). The first author would also like to acknowledge FCT for the Post-doc grant SFRH/BPD/97082/2013.
