Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of road construction, and more specifically, to a method for designing mix proportions of high-slump pumped concrete for roads based on cohesiveness. Background Technology

[0002] Due to constraints related to environmental protection, land use, and economic factors, on-site mixing plants are often not feasible during urban road construction. Therefore, commercially pumped concrete, typically mixed in centralized plants, is commonly used. While pumped concrete is widely used in the construction of cement concrete pavements for urban roads in my country due to its excellent workability, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness, it has also generated some significant problems, primarily in the following two aspects: First, pumped concrete has high unit water consumption, high cement content, high water-cement ratio, high sand ratio, and high slump, leading to significant heat of hydration and marked drying and thermal shrinkage. This makes the pavement prone to early and severe cracking, resulting in a service life that falls short of the design life. Second, there are no established regulations or standards for the mix design of high-slump pumped concrete. Domestic industry standards only address pavement concrete mix design for concrete with a slump of 5–40 mm, which is insufficient for the construction requirements of pumped cement concrete pavements for urban roads.

[0003] The cohesiveness of pumped concrete is a key performance indicator for pumped concrete in high-slump roads. When the pressure cohesiveness does not meet the requirements, it can easily lead to surface slurry and bleeding in the pumped concrete pavement, weakening the concrete's impermeability and ultimately causing damage to the pavement structure. The cohesiveness of pumped concrete is mainly characterized by the pressure bleeding rate.

[0004] Currently, there is a lack of mix design methods for high-slump pumped concrete for roads based on cohesive control, resulting in the current high-slump pumped 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 cohesive high-slump road pumped concrete mix design method, which can predict and ensure that the cohesiveness 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 method for designing mix proportions of high-slump pumped concrete for roads based on cohesiveness, which includes the following steps:

[0008] Determine the allowable value of pressure bleeding rate for concrete;

[0009] Based on the design parameters of the concrete pavement, conduct trial mixing design of the concrete pavement mix proportion;

[0010] Calculate the standard value of pressure bleeding rate of concrete based on the design and trial mixing of concrete pavement mix proportions;

[0011] Calculate the temperature correction factor and the transportation time correction factor;

[0012] The design value of the pressure bleeding rate of concrete is calculated by adjusting the standard value of the pressure bleeding rate of concrete based on the temperature correction factor and the transportation time correction factor.

[0013] Determine whether the design value of the pressure bleeding rate of concrete meets the allowable value of the pressure bleeding rate of concrete.

[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.

[0015] In some alternative implementations, the permissible values ​​for pressure bleeding rate of concrete are within 30% for expressways, within 35% for arterial roads, within 40% for secondary arterial roads, and within 40% for local roads.

[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 following formula is used when calculating the standard value of the pressure bleeding rate of concrete:

[0018] 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 (%).

[0019] In some alternative implementations, the following formula is used when calculating the temperature correction factor: ξ T -1+0.0052T-2.08×10 -4 T 2 , where ξ T is the temperature correction factor; T is the ambient temperature, °C.

[0020] 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).

[0021] In some alternative implementations, the following formula is used when calculating the design value of the pressure bleeding rate of concrete:

[0022] In some alternative implementations, determining whether the design value of the pressure bleeding rate of concrete meets the allowable value of the pressure bleeding rate of concrete means that the design value of the pressure bleeding rate is within the allowable range of the pressure bleeding rate. If the design value of the pressure bleeding rate of concrete is not within the allowable range of the pressure bleeding rate of concrete, the above-mentioned design and trial mixing of concrete pavement proportion based on the design parameters of concrete pavement is repeated.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The cohesive-based high-slump road pumped concrete mix design method provided in this application includes the following steps: determining the allowable value of the concrete pressure bleeding rate; conducting a design trial mix of the concrete pavement based on the design parameters of the concrete pavement; calculating the standard value of the concrete pressure bleeding rate based on the design trial mix of the concrete pavement; calculating the temperature correction coefficient and the transportation time correction coefficient; adjusting the standard value of the concrete pressure bleeding rate based on the temperature correction coefficient and the transportation time correction coefficient to calculate the design value of the concrete pressure bleeding rate; and determining whether the design value of the concrete pressure bleeding rate meets the allowable value of the concrete pressure bleeding rate. The cohesive-based high-slump road pumped concrete mix design method provided in this application can predict and ensure that the cohesiveness of the prepared concrete meets the construction requirements during the concrete mix design stage, thereby ensuring the quality of the concrete. It has the advantages of simple operation and strong applicability, and can be widely promoted and applied in urban road pavement construction. Attached Figure Description
