Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of manufactured sand utilization technology, and in particular to a method for preparing high-performance concrete using manufactured sand. Background Technology

[0002] All manufactured sand and mixed sand that have undergone soil removal treatment are collectively referred to as artificial sand. Compared with natural sand under the same conditions, under the same mix design, molding and curing conditions, concrete made with artificial sand has the following characteristics: reduced slump and increased 28-day standard strength; if the slump remains unchanged, the water requirement increases; however, under normal circumstances, the measured strength of the concrete does not decrease after increasing the water-cement ratio without increasing cement. When designing concrete mix proportions according to the characteristics of natural sand, artificial sand has a high water requirement, slightly poorer workability, and is prone to bleeding, especially in low-strength concrete with low cement content. However, if the concrete mix proportions are designed according to the characteristics of artificial sand, by rationally utilizing the stone powder in the artificial sand and adjusting the sand ratio, it is entirely possible to prepare concrete with excellent workability.

[0003] Current technologies for the use of manufactured sand in concrete mainly focus on the concrete mix proportions. Further research is needed to explore how to improve concrete performance by taking advantage of the structural characteristics of manufactured sand. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Furthermore, in step (1), the amount of sulfuric acid solution used is 3-3.7 times the mass of the artificial sand.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (2), the amount of coal gangue used is 13-16% of the mass of artificial sand.

[0017] Furthermore, in step (2), the amount of river sand used is 24-28% of the mass of artificial sand.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (2), the amount of silica used is 33-39% of the mass of the artificial sand.

[0019] Furthermore, in step (3), the mass ratio of the sawdust to bagasse is 8:1-3.

[0020] Furthermore, in step (3), the concentration of the dilute hydrochloric acid is 0.3-0.46 mol / L.

[0021] Furthermore, in step (3), the calcium hydroxide solution is a saturated solution.

[0022] Furthermore, in step (3), the amount of acrylamide used is 11-13% of the fiber mass.

[0023] Furthermore, in step (3), the amount of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide used is 0.2-0.35% of the fiber mass.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the present invention are reflected in:

[0025] This invention enhances contact through surface treatment of artificial sand and utilizes targeted modification of natural fibers to ensure good adhesion between cement and other components in concrete, resulting in a dense and compact structure that guarantees performance stability and reduces performance degradation during use. Simultaneously, by combining multiple fibers and ingredients, the concrete achieves a complex configuration, reducing its temperature transfer efficiency and providing excellent thermal insulation.

[0067]

[0068] Test Example 1

[0070]
