The invention relates to the technical field of building materials, in particular to a
coupling coarse aggregate and a preparation method and application thereof.The
coupling coarse aggregate takes waste tempered glass particles with the particle size of 5-40 mm as an inner core, the inner core is coated with a
red mud-based cementing material layer with the thickness of 1-5 mm, and the
coating layer is composed of, by weight, 70-80 parts of
red mud, 10-15 parts of
fly ash and 5-20 parts of
cement. The preparation method comprises the following steps: crushing and screening waste
toughened glass, preparing red-mud-based gel
slurry,
coating the surfaces of glass particles with the red-mud-based gel
slurry in a dip-
coating or roll-coating manner, and carrying out standard curing for 28 days to obtain the
coupling coarse aggregate. The aggregate can replace natural coarse aggregate to prepare large-dosage
red mud-based concrete, wherein a cementing material comprises red mud, mineral
powder, ardealite and
cement. According to the invention, the alkali-
silicon reaction is effectively blocked through the core-shell structure, and the aggregate-matrix interface performance is improved, so that the concrete has high
compressive strength, excellent durability and low
expansion rate, meanwhile, the synergistic
resource utilization of bulk
solid wastes of the red mud and the waste
toughened glass is realized, and the concrete has remarkable
environmental protection and
economic benefits.
