Improving Early Age Strength of Very High Moisture Content Fine Grained Soil via Specialty Ground Portland Cement

Through indoor the compaction test and unconfined compressive strength of compacted soil samples and CBR strength test, analyzes compaction characteristics of wetland fine grained soil and the change rule of compacted strength with compaction work and moisture content.The results show that under the same compaction work effect, when the soil moisture content is less than optimum moisture content,along with the increase of moisture content, dry density increases, when the soil moisture content is greater than the optimum moisture content, along with the increase of moisture content, dry density decreases and to a larger extent.When the compaction work is bigger, the soil dry density is bigger, the compaction strength is higher and the optimum moisture content is smaller.Strength decreases when under high moisture content condition, CBR value is relatively stable in the wet side of optimum moisture content.

The article contains an analysis of selected systems for thermorenovation of vertical partitions in protected buildings. Historical buildings often require thermo-renovation, but in practice their "insulation" can be applied only internally on partitions without decorations. Internal thermorenovation methods can be classified according to heat exchange and moisture transport. For the purpose of this paper, the methods were analysed in terms of diffusion-open and diffusion-closed systems, and compared in a multi-variant aspect. The calculations were made assuming a wall with the moisture content up to 3%, a wall with the very high moisture content up to 11%, and for a wet wall with a constant inflow of water due to capillary action. They attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of various thermo-modernisation treatments in building partitions in the aspect of protection against permanent moisture growth, mould development and improvement of their overall heat protection, considering the 8-year time interval. Several different sets of materials were included in a multivariate analysis, as well as various scenarios of the possible effects of their use. The paper is summarised with conclusions regarding the effectiveness and risk related to the application of different internal methods of thermo-renovation of partitions.
