Deformation of Masonry Structures of Libraries, Bayon in Angkor Thom
Abstract eng: This paper provides a geotechnical mechanism that has caused vertical gap between stones on retaining structure for platform mound of library structure in Angkor, Cambodia. The formation of the gaps could be misinterpreted as sliding due to shear failure of the filled earth mound. Archaeological trench at the Northern library, Bayon revealed no such shear failure in the trenched section. V ertical gaps have developed along joints in the sandstone masonry of a retaining wall in the free-standing stone masonry structure. The wall retains a mound of compacted earth- and sand-filled foundations. The formation of the gaps was identified as horizontal expansion caused by wetting by rain under constant vertical load.
