Reassembly of a wall in Earth after disassembly for diagnosis

Here is the wall up, before wet or prepare the wall for reassembly,

It must be la bauge. It is possible to recover the land of the wall, even if the wall is very old.

Have the Earth in the gachoir, it is a mixture of clay and straw. The straw of the wall cannot be recovered because too old and too dry...

Therefore, to bring new straw.

Thoroughly mix the Earth to remove the stones or the remaining stones.

Add water and mix

Attention, the amount of water should be monitored because a too liquid mixture is not suitable to go up the wall. Refer to the preliminary diagnosis to redo a correct mixture.

Moisten the wall to allow the bauge well join on the wall.

Then caller boards for the formwork before reassembly.

Use wide enough boards and mark the drill hole for threaded rods that held the bauge and stones as reassembly.

This technique of formwork per is also winding the wall straight and right.

Well mark the holes for the passage of the threaded rods.

drill the two Board at the same level and arrange by and on the other wall.

Once positioned boards, pass the threaded rods into the holes and tighten the nuts to lock the two boards against the wall and do so the formwork.

Once the boards tight against the wall, continue on the mixture of Earth that needs to be done at the last moment

Add straw and mix with the Earth, repeat the mixture several times...

Well trampled straw for it is incorporre well in the land. Straw serves lian which allows the Earth to correctly into the wall. The mixture thus directed is called la bauge.

Once found the right balance of bauge, begin to dispose of in the formwork.

This is to put a layer of bauge then a layer of stone. Attention, the stones must be wet before be willing in the formwork. Depending on the shape of the stone, it will take place on the front or the back of the wall. The stones which have relatively straight faces put on the facage while stones in various shapes will have in the middle of the wall.

So reassemble the wall next until you get to the formwork height layered.

dry the wall a week see more depending on the atmospheric conditions, and then repeat the different operations of mixture of bauge and shuttering up to final reassembly of the wall.
