Analysis of the Influence of Temperature on Surface Properties of Inorganic Artificial Stone Protective Materials

To address the structural tilting, deformation, and wall cracking damage caused by uneven settlement of the foundation in ancient buildings, a restoration project of a certain ancestral hall was taken as an example. The main structure was protected using pre-support and pre-reinforcement techniques. The foundation of the walls was reinforced using new added clamp wall foundation beams combined with steel pipe piles, and numerical simulation and settlement observation analysis were conducted. The results show that pre-support and pre-protection of the upper structure before foundation reinforcement effectively prevent secondary damage caused by structural instability. The new added clamp wall foundation beams combined with steel pipe piles reinforcement technique can effectively control uneven foundation settlement and extend the preservation period of ancient buildings. Settlement observation data indicate that although the early-stage settlement fluctuated significantly after reinforcement, the later-stage settlement stabilized with minimal deformation, meeting the foundation reinforcement objectives. This construction technique provides a reference for the restoration of existing relatively well-preserved ancient buildings.
