Technology of Mixing High Property Concrete with Large Dosage Fly Ash

Being the largest mass of man-maded material, concrete demands much to resource and energy as well as affects much to environment. Whether concrete can be the dominating constructive material, the key is whether it can become green material and protect the environment at the same time. The important approach of developing is using industrial castoff largely in concrete. The tests note, that high performance concrete used of large mass of fly ash is doable. By grinding fly ash and adding high-efficient water reducer, when the dosage of cement clinker is only 25% and the dosage of fly ash is 70%, concrete with a good workability that 3 day and 28 day strength are bigger than 20 MPa and 50 MPa respectively can be achieved, which later strength develop very well. The large mass of fly ash concrete can utilize fly ash largely and reduce the dosage of clinker, that is very advantageous to protect environmental.

Effects of Stone Powder on Wet Packing Density of Cement and Performances of Concrete

The amount of limestone powder, which is a by product of manufactured fine aggregate, is larger and larger with the increase of manufactured fine aggregate. Environment will be severely polluted if the powder is improperly used. The effects of limestone powder on workability, compressive strength, and impermeability of concrete were studied when cement is substituted for the mass proportion of 0, 10, 15, 20 percent with it. The results show that the performances of concrete are better improved when the percentage of limestone powder is about 10 percent. The wet packing density of mixture of limestone powder and cement was measured, and it shows that the degree of density was biggest when limestone powder is 10 percent. This shows that the best mixing proportion of limestone powder and cement may be determined through measuring the change of compactness of mixture of limestone powder and cement.     

Relationship between porosity and chloride diffusivity in cement-based composite materials

For investigating the effect of porosity in cement-based composite materials on diffusion coefficient of chloride ion, a series of mortar specimens with different water-cement ratios, different volume fractions and different diameters and graduation of aggregates are cast, and then chloride diffusivity of mortar specimens are measured by steady-state electric acceleration method and pore structure parameters of corresponding samples are obtained by mercury intrusion porosimetry. At the same time, the pore size distributions are visualized by X-ray micro-focus computer tomography. The results show that porous interfacial transition zones between aggregate and bulk cement paste significantly change the distribution of pore structure in hardened cement paste, and the smaller water-cement ratio is, the more significant the effect of interfacial transition zones on pore structures of hardened cement paste is. A good correlation between the total porosity, capillary porosity and the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion in cement-based composite materials has been determined and the continuous pore diameter is linearly related to the diffusion coefficient of those. Furthermore, the larger the continuous pore diameter is, the larger the value of chloride diffusivity is.     

Rubber Powder Modified Frost Resistance of Recycled Aggregate Concrete

Utilizing relative dynamic elastic modulus and weight loss of concrete as evaluation indices, the frost resistance of concrete with 0.45 water-cement ratio and different recycled aggregate replacement proportions was studied in the water and 3.5% sodium chloride solution. The mass proportions of recycled aggregate are 25%, 50% and 75%, respectively. Furthermore, the frost resistance of the modified concrete with 5% and 10% rubber powder volume fractions replacing fine aggregates was studied. The results show that: the frost resistance of concrete decreases with the increase of recycled aggregate, when the recycled aggregate mass fractions are 25% and 50%, its influence on the frost resistance of concrete is little, and mixing rubber powders can effectively improve the frost resistance of concrete; when the recycled aggregate mass fraction reaches 75%, its effect on the frost resistance of concrete is significant, and mixing rubber powders has certain improvement effect, but compared with the benchmark group of concrete the maximum freeze-thaw cycles decreases more than 30%. In water frozen test, the weight loss is small and the relative dynamic elastic modulus loss is quite obvious. The frost resistance is better when adding 5% volume fraction of rubber powders. In salt frozen test, the main characteristic is the weight loss exceeds the requirements. The frost resistance is better when adding 10% volume fraction of rubber powders. The improvement effect of rubber powder to the frost resistance of concrete in salt solution is much better than that in water.     

Strength-permeability Model of Pervious Cement Concrete

High permeability is an important characteristic of pervious concrete. For the existing permeability testing devices of pervious concrete, the specimen sidewall leakage is serious due to the large numbers of open pores on the surface of specimens. To solve the problem, a new permeability testing method for pervious concrete was developed and a composite sidewall structure with waterproof daub, flexible rubber cushion and rigid sleeve sidewall was proposed. Meanwhile, the strength and permeability of pervious cement concrete are incompatible with a reciprocal relationship. However, limited research has been conducted on the relationship between them. Effects of water-cement ratio (W/C), aggregate-cement ratio and porosity on the properties of pervious concrete, including strength and permeability, were studied. Furthermore, strength-porosity model, permeability-porosity model and strength-permeability model were established. Tests reveal that: a) There is an optimum W/C of pervious concrete, at which strength reaches the maximum; b) The relationship between the strength and W/C shows a downward quadratic curve, and the permeability is proportional to porosity and aggregate-cement ratio; c) The relationship between strength and permeability of pervious cement concrete can be well fitted with the Lorentzian function, and the strength decreases when the permeability increases, but the rate of reduction decreases gradually. The optimum combination of strength and permeability should be determined based on the specific engineering requirements in design.     

Application of the pumping coal gangue cemented filling materials in roadside

To take full advantage of gangue for roadside supporting in coal mines physical properties of coal gangue are tested. The collapsed slump uniaxial compression strength and initial setting time of gangue binder backfill material with different water-cement ratios and admixture contents are researched. Experimental studies show that the best ratio of water cement coarse aggregate fine aggregate and admixtures is 1:2:5.6:1.6:0.02 for site pumping of roadside packing support. The collapsed slump 28 d uniaxial compression strength and initial setting time of gangue binder backfill material are 210 mm 20.8 MPa 224 min respectively under such ratio. It could satisfy the requirement of site supporting and the initial setting time of binder backfill material under such ratio is about 50 min shorter in site than indoor.     

Experimental Research on High-strength Inorganic Anchoring Material

A new type of inorganic anchoring material is developed as a substitution for anchoring adhesive to overcome some imperfections in the process of planting reinforcing steel bar.The mix proportion of the anchoring material is determined by experiments.The compressive strength,adhesive force to concrete,volume stability and anchoring force with steel bar are studied.The early strength of the anchoring inorganic material is quite high: for 1d up to 38.5MPa and 3d up to 60MPa.It is a good adhesive to concrete and the adhesive strength of 28d is about 2MPa.The anchoring material will have tiny volume expansion with the age,which is beneficial to enhancing the anchoring force.The essential component of the inorganic anchoring material is cement-based material,so some defects of the organic macromolecular material can be avoided,such as poor stability and requirement for vigorous construction conditions.Its characteristics in early strength,adhesive force to concrete and volume expansion can satisfy the requirement of the construction to the planting reinforcing steel bar and the loading force,thus it can be used as a substituting material for anchoring adhesive.

3D Meso scale Failure Simulation of Four phase Composite Concrete

Taking into account the influence of the internal micro cracks on the strength and deformation of concrete, a four phase composite material model was proposed, in which it included mortar, aggregate, interface and random defects. Meso scale unit in concrete was subjected to elastic plastic damage constitutive of increments form in strain space. With the simulation of mesh concrete crack growth by damage elimination, the damage processes of concrete under 3 D uniaxial compression and the elasto plastic damage process of concrete under uniaxial tension with heterogeneous specimen were obtained. It was shown that the proposed four phase model added the simulation of random defects, with which it was more appropriate to the actual situation in concrete forming. The percentage of random defects in volume was the key to determine the weakening degree of macro strength of concrete. The cracks occlusion was obvious for the lower homogeneous uniaxial tension specimen and the fracture was clearer for higher homogeneous specimen. The simulation results was in good agreement with test results.     

高MgO镍铁渣作为活性混合材使用的可行性分析

中国镍铁渣排放量很大,但目前尚未找到大量利用的途径。笔者在分析镍铁渣组成、性能的基础上,对镍铁渣作为活性混合材使用的可能性及效果进行了研究。结果表明:镍铁渣中非晶体矿物的含量为88.1%,含量高达27.07%的MgO主要以顽辉石和镁铁橄榄石两种晶体矿物形式存在。镍铁渣的比表面积影响其活性和在水泥中的掺量。作为活性混合材,镍铁渣比表面积需不低于454.6 m²/kg。比表面积越大,活性指数越大,掺量越大。镍铁渣水泥的压蒸安定性合格,即使在水泥中掺入50%比表面积842.9 m²/kg的镍铁渣,水泥的压蒸膨胀率仅为0.11%,大大低于0.5%的GB750-1992要求,由此证明镍铁渣不会因为MgO含量高而影响其作为活性混合材的使用。

Micro structure Characteristics of Recycled Fine Aggregate and Its Concrete

The characteristics of recycled fine aggregate (RFA) and its concrete (RFAC) were analyzed by SEM, EDXA, XRD, Micro harness and nitrogen absorption. The results show that RFA is an artificial aggregate with complex compositions, certain hydration activity and high permeability. The mineral compositions of RFA include SiO2, CaCO3 and a small quantity of C2S, which has a certain hydration activity and can form hydration productions. The compaction rate of cement paste in RFAC is low because of pores in it. There is obvious interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between RFAC and cement paste, and its width is bigger than that in ordinary concrete. In addition, the values of micro hardness of the interfacial transition zone on both sides of RFA and cement paste are lower. The porous structure of the recycled fine aggregates and defects of ITZ are main reasons for big pores in RFAC, which has bad effect on impermeability of RFAC.     

Image segmentation based on differential mutation bare bones particle swarm optimization and fuzzy entropy

Sawdust, coal gangue and paper sludge were chosen as pore-forming agents of sintered shale brick. The pyrolysis behaviors of different forming agents were studied and the influences of the agents on bulk density, compressive strength, porosity, and water absorption properties of the shale brick were also investigated. It is shown that, with the increase of the dosage of sawdust, pore number of the sintered bricks and water-absorption increase, while the volume density and strength fall rapidly. Thus, the dosage of sawdust should be controlled within 6%. Because of poorer plasticity and lower ignition of coal gangue as well as low porosity rate of sintered bricks, the water-absorption of sintered bricks is poor, and decreases of density and strength are not obvious. In practical production, according to the requirements of brick-making heat and plasticity, a moderate amount of coal gangue can be added. The plasticity of the bricks improves as the dosage of paper sludge increases due to its good plasticity. However, excessive dosage of paper sludge will result in large shrinkage of sintered brick, low strength and high water absorption; therefore, the dosage should not exceed 7%.     

Preparation of the supplementary cementitious material offerronickel submerged arc furnace slag and its properties

The ferronickel submerged arc furnace slags are stored up more and more, as a result, seriously influenced the sustainable development of the nickel industry. By grinding, the ferronickel submerged arc furnace slag is mechanically activated, then can be used as supplementary cementitious material, thus a comprehensive utilization way of ferronickel submerged arc furnace slag is developed. Using such processed slag to replace cement from 10% to 40% in mass, with the increase of replacing dosage, the water demand of standard consistency of cement paste is lowered, the fluidity of mortar is raised; the compressive strength of mortar is decreased; the flexural strength is increased followed by a decrease after the dosage is above 10%, the ratio of flexural strength to compressive strength is increased. The experimental results indicate that the ferronickel submerged arc furnace slag can be used as supplementary cementitious material and has an increase of flexural strength and effect of plasticizing and water reducing.

The Effect of Water-Cement Ratio on the Plastic Shrinkage Cracking of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete

In this paper, the characteristic of the plastic shrinkage cracking of the lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) was studied under the condition of prescribed quantity of cement and aggregate and was compared with that of the normal aggregate concrete (NC) with the same proportion of materials for the LWAC. The results suggested that the water evaporation quantity in the concrete became larger with the increase of w/c, and water evaporation velocity reached maximum value around two hours. When the water-cement ratio was low, the area of the plastic shrinkage cracking of LWAC was large and when w/c was 0.40, the area reached the maximum value and then became smaller with the increase of w/c.     

Cementation Effect with Cement during Cold In Place Recycling System of Asphalt Pavement

Different kinds of structures of RAP and different contents of cement were prepared. By means of standard compaction test, unconfined compressive strength, water stability, modulus and SEM test, the cementation effect with cement was studied. It was shown that the maximum dry density of RAP mixture rose from 1.91g/cm3 to 2.00g/cm3 with the increase of cement content when A/S was 0.4. The maximum dry density of RAP mixture would rise when adding more asphalt. The unconfined compressive strength rose from 1.48MPa to 2.63 MPa and then down to 2.28MPa when cement content was 6%. The best property could be got when A/S was 0.4 and the cement content was 6% with 9.5% water. The compressive strength of RAP mixture declined after it was cured in water for 24 h, but it had the same tendency with those of which had not been maintained in water. And it is also found that RAP does not obtain better stabilities in high temperature with modular test. From SEM test, it is shown that ettringite and C S H interlace and form the netted structure, and the aggregate would be enwrapped to increase the strength.     

A Primary Investigation on Concrete Made from Iron and Steel Slags for Building Ecological Artifical Reefs

A method of orthogonal test was used to optimize the strength of the cementitious material for preparing the concrete of high-strength artifical reefs.The results show that with the ratio of iron slag:steel slag=7:1,and when 10% cement clinker and 10% gypsum of Flue Gas Desulfurization Waste (FGDW) was mixed with 80% iron and steel slags powder,the mixed cementitious material had an optimized strength.The optimized specific surface area are 480 m 2/kg and 550 m 2/kg for iron slag and steel slag powder respectively.The ordinary portland cement can be totally substituted by such a mixed cementitious material with iron and steel slags as its major components in preparing the concrete for building high-strength artificial reefs.A concrete with a compressive strengh over 65MPa can be prepared by using such a mixture as a cementitious material and steel slag grains as its fine and coarse aggregats which have been stubilized by a hot-simmering method. Hydration processes of net slurry were analysized by XRD and SEM methods. The results show that the hydration products in the system are mainly AFt and C-S-H gel. The results also show that the pozzolanic reaction of iron slags could be largely promoted by the coordinations of steel slags,clinker and FGDW.     

Experimental Analysis on the Frost Resistance of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete

The frost resistance of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) was studied based on the fast freeze thaw tests in water and in a 3.5% sodium chloride solution, with different mass fraction of steel fiber in concrete at 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%, respectively. The effects of the number of freeze thaw cycles and the volume fraction of steel fiber on the mass lose rate, the splitting strength loss rate and the dynamic modulus of elasticity of SFRC were analyzed. The reinforcement mechanism of the steel fiber under the action of freeze and thaw was also discussed. Moreover, mercury intrusion method and SEM analysis were carried out to study the pore size distribution features and the performance of microstructure on the impact of frost resistance of SFRC. The results show that adding an appropriate amount of steel fiber into concrete can reduce the pore porosity and improve the compactness of concrete. Furthermore, the presence of steel fiber proves to shrink the porosity and improve evidently the frost resistance of concrete. It is also shown that the steel fiber content has a great influence on the frost resisting property of SFRC. The best performance of SFRC can be achieved when the volume fraction of steel fiber is 1.5%.
