Soil stabilization with modern TM MAPEI materials in reconstruction of buildings and structures

Abstract

The article deals with the findings of experimental and theoretic research into the efficiency of applying prepared substances TM MAPEI for chemical soil stabilization for foundations of buildings in reconstruction. The objects of the study were soils of rapid, average and slow permeability. Determination of physical and mechanical characteristics of soils before and after stabilization was conducted in laboratory environment. The results were obtained on the basic of the project into stabilization of foundations under complex reconstruction of a four-storied building. The chemical stabilization technology for foundations purported uniform mixing of soil with a special mixing screw, supplying needed components, and further consolidation. A design diagram for the building was made in software package Lira-SAPR 2018. Calculations of carrying capacity of the foundation were made for six design patters which differed in characteristics of the stabilized soil according to the materials applied. The first design pattern considered the application of non-stabilized soil. Results of the calculations are presented as isofields, soil reaction coefficients C1 and C2, loads (pressure) on the foundation Pz, and vertical deformations. On the basis of the research the authors state that application of TM MAPEI for chemical stabilization of collapsible soils under reconstruction allows increasing the foundation rigidity by three times and more, the carrying capacity by 10 times and more, depending on the formulations accepted.
