Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of road construction, and more specifically, to a mix design method for high-slump ready-mixed concrete for roads based on filling properties. Background Technology
[0002] Ready-mixed concrete for roads has been widely used in cement concrete pavement construction in my country due to its excellent workability, energy saving, and environmental protection advantages. However, ready-mixed concrete for roads also has the following drawbacks: First, ready-mixed concrete has high unit water consumption, large cement content, high water-cement ratio, high sand ratio, and large slump, which leads to a large heat of hydration and significant drying and thermal shrinkage, making the pavement prone to early and severe cracking, resulting in the actual service life of the pavement not meeting the design life requirements. Second, there are no regulations governing the mix design technical requirements and parameters for high-slump ready-mixed concrete for roads. The content related to pavement concrete mix design in domestic industry standards only applies to concrete with a slump of 5-40mm, which cannot meet the construction requirements of ready-mixed cement concrete pavements for urban roads.
[0003] The filling property of ready-mixed concrete refers to its ability to uniformly and densely compact without external force. Insufficient filling property can easily lead to poor uniformity and insufficient density of ready-mixed concrete, resulting in segregation and cracking of the mixture. This can cause insufficient local strength of the pavement and easily lead to pavement structural damage. The filling property of ready-mixed concrete is mainly characterized by its spread and the emptying time in the inverted slump cone.
[0004] Currently, there is a lack of mix design methods for high-slump ready-mixed concrete for roads based on filling control, resulting in the current high-slump ready-mixed concrete for roads falling far short of the construction requirements of urban road surfaces. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a mix design method for high slump ready-mixed road concrete based on fillability, which can predict and ensure that the fillability of the prepared concrete meets the construction requirements during the concrete mix design stage, thereby ensuring the quality of the concrete.
[0006] This application is implemented as follows:
[0007] This application provides a mix design method for high-slump ready-mixed concrete for roads based on filling properties, which includes the following steps:
[0008] Determine the permissible values for the spread of concrete and the emptying time of the inverted slump cone, respectively;
[0009] Based on the design parameters of the concrete pavement, conduct trial mixing design of the concrete pavement mix proportion;
[0010] Based on the design trial mix of concrete pavement proportions, the standard values of concrete spread and slump cone emptying time were calculated respectively.
[0011] Calculate the temperature correction factor and the transportation time correction factor;
[0012] The design values for concrete spread and inverted slump cone emptying time are calculated based on the standard values of the concrete spread and inverted slump cone emptying time adjusted by the temperature correction coefficient and the transportation time correction coefficient.
[0013] Determine whether the design values of concrete spread and inverted slump cone evacuation time simultaneously meet the allowable values of concrete spread and inverted slump cone evacuation time.
[0014] In some alternative implementations, the design parameters for concrete pavement include the design grade of concrete flexural strength, urban road grade, site temperature, and concrete transport time.

[0016] In some alternative implementation schemes, when designing and testing the mix proportions of the concrete pavement based on the design parameters, the water-cement ratio is 0.44–0.48 and the paste volume is 310–340 L / m³ when the allowable flexural tensile strength of the concrete pavement is 4.5 MPa. 3 The volumetric sand ratio is 42-46%, and the slag powder content is less than 40%; when the allowable flexural tensile strength of the concrete pavement is 5 MPa, the water-cement ratio is 0.4-0.44, and the slurry volume is 320-350 L / m³. 3 The volumetric sand ratio is 40-44%, and the slag powder content is less than 40%.
[0017] In some alternative implementations, the standard value L of the concrete's spreadability is calculated. k Use the following formula:
[0018] The standard value t for calculating the evacuation time of the inverted slump cone for concrete. k Use the following formula:
[0019] in, V is the water-to-glue ratio. p The volume of the slurry (L / m³) 3 ), β represents the volumetric sand ratio (%), and β represents the slag powder content (%).
[0020] In some alternative implementations, the following formula is used when calculating the temperature correction factor: ζ T = 1 + 0.0052T - 2.08 × 10 -4 T 2 , where ζ T is the temperature correction factor; T is the ambient temperature, °C.
[0021] In some alternative implementations, the following formula is used when calculating the transit time correction factor: In the formula: ξ t t is the time correction factor. i The transit time is in hours (h).
[0022] In some alternative implementations, the design value L for the concrete spread is calculated. d Use the following formula: L d =ξ T ξ c L k ; Calculate the design value t for the slump time of concrete in the inverted slump cone. d Use the following formula:
[0023] In some alternative implementations, determining whether the design values of concrete spread and inverted slump cone evacuation time simultaneously meet the allowable values of concrete spread and inverted slump cone evacuation time means that the design values of spread and inverted slump cone evacuation time are both within the allowable ranges of spread and inverted slump cone evacuation time. Furthermore, if the design values of spread and inverted slump cone evacuation time are not within the allowable ranges of spread and inverted slump cone evacuation time, then the aforementioned design trial mix design work for the concrete pavement proportion based on the design parameters of the concrete pavement is repeated.

If the design values of spread and inverted slump cone emptying time are not simultaneously within the allowable ranges of spread and inverted slump cone emptying time, repeat the above-mentioned design and trial mixing of concrete pavement proportions based on the design parameters of the concrete pavement.
[0040] The mix design method for ready-mixed concrete for high-slump roads based on filling properties provided in this application addresses the gap in existing pavement design methods regarding filling properties in pumped concrete for high-slump roads. Through long-term experience and statistical analysis, a formula for calculating the pressure bleeding rate of concrete is derived and corrected using construction temperature and concrete transport time. The final calculated design values for concrete spread and inverted slump cone emptying time are compared with the allowable values specified in construction regulations. This allows for prediction and assurance that the filling properties of the prepared concrete meet construction requirements during the mix design stage, ensuring concrete quality and avoiding or reducing defects such as segregation and cracking caused by poor uniformity and insufficient density in high-slump pumped concrete. It also prevents pavement structural damage due to insufficient local strength. This method is simple to operate and highly applicable, and can be widely promoted and applied in urban road pavement construction.
