Description

[0002] Tunnel water inrush, due to its strong concealment and unpredictability, has become one of the main difficulties in tunnel construction and can easily cause serious economic losses and casualties.

[0003] At present, the traditional method for improving the waterproof and anti-seepage performance of cement concrete mainly contains suitably reducing water-cement ratio, selecting suitable sand and gravel, rationally improving the consumption of cement, selecting suitable sand ratio etc.The overall hydrophobic modification of cement concrete is to add hydrophobic material when mixing cement concrete, mainly contains hydrophobic powder, polymer emulsion etc.But, along with adding of polymer emulsion (such as styrene-butadiene emulsion, chloroprene rubber emulsion, polyacrylate emulsion etc.), although can improve concrete toughness, water retention, water-reducing property, fluidity and the anti-seepage property to varying degrees, also can occupy the position of hydration product simultaneously, cause its ultimate compressive strength lower.In addition, the mixing of hydrophobic powder also can delay the hydration of cement mortar, changes the mechanical property of cement mortar.These traditional methods improvement effect is not obvious, can not really improve the waterproof and anti-seepage performance of cement concrete in essence.

[0004] Alkali-free accelerators, the most important admixture in the shotcrete forming process, utilize aluminum sulfate as the primary accelerating component. Combined with other early-strength components such as diethanolamine, they achieve early-strength and setting-accelerating effects. Alkali-free accelerators address the high alkali content of traditional alkaline accelerators, reducing the likelihood of alkali-aggregate reaction in shotcrete. They also offer the advantage of being environmentally friendly. However, alkali-free accelerators also face challenges such as unstable complexation with accelerating materials, the presence of toxic raw materials such as fluorine, insufficient early strength, and later strength reduction.

[0005] In response to the water gushing phenomenon in tunnels in high water gushing areas, it is crucial to organically combine early strength and accelerated setting with anti-seepage and hydrophobic properties and develop an early strength and hydrophobic alkali-free liquid quick-setting agent. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and to provide an alkali-free liquid quick-setting agent with excellent early strength and accelerated setting as well as anti-seepage and hydrophobic properties.

[0022] 2) The present invention enhances the stability of the liquid accelerator by introducing a specific amount of kaolinite, and promotes the setting of the mortar paste using a specific amount of diethanolamine. Furthermore, by combining the use of specific amounts of octyltriethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane, the resulting alkali-free liquid accelerator not only meets the rapid setting, early strength, and stability requirements of both the national standard GB / T 35159-2017 and the railway standard Q / CR 807-2020, but also enhances the accelerator's hydrophobicity, enabling it to maintain good performance in areas with high water inflow.

Furthermore, the alkali-free liquid accelerators prepared in each example and comparative example were tested for their corresponding fluoride ion content according to the test method for fluoride ion content specified in Q / CR 807-2020, "Liquid Alkali-Free Accelerators for Tunnel Shotcrete." The test results are detailed in Table 2.

[0101] Table 2

[0102]

[0103] Table 2

[0104]

[0105] Test Example 2

[0106] According to the test methods specified in the national standard GB / T 35159-2017 "Accelerators for Shotcrete" and JGJ / T 70-2009 "Standard for Test Methods for Basic Properties of Building Mortar", the alkali-free liquid accelerators prepared in each embodiment and comparative example were tested for net slurry setting time, mortar compressive strength, static contact angle, and water absorption using PI42.5 benchmark Portland cement and standard sand produced by Xiamen Aiso. The dosage of the alkali-free liquid accelerator was 8wt% of the cement mass. The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0107] Table 3

[0108]

[0109]

[0110] Table 3

[0111]

[0112] The results in Tables 2 and 3 demonstrate that the present invention can produce an early-strength, hydrophobic, alkali-free liquid accelerator suitable for use in areas with high water inflow. The mortar's early compressive strength reaches 1.6 MPa and 16.4 MPa at 6 hours and 1 day, respectively, demonstrating excellent early-strength performance. Furthermore, the mortar's surface contact angle reaches 107.5°, and its maximum water absorption rate after 40 hours does not exceed 4.6%, demonstrating excellent hydrophobicity.

[0113] All indicators of the alkali-free liquid quick-setting agent prepared by the technical solution provided by the present invention meet the requirements of the national standard GB / T 35159-2017 and the railway standard Q / CR 807-2020, and the sample stability is good.

[0114] The alkali-free liquid accelerators obtained in each example not only meet the national standard GB / T 35159-2017 but also meet the higher standards of railway standard Q / CR 807-2020 for 6h compressive strength, 1d compressive strength, 28d strength ratio, and 90d strength retention, demonstrating excellent early strength performance. Furthermore, the surface contact angle and water absorption of the alkali-free liquid accelerators obtained in each example far exceed those of ordinary mortar, demonstrating excellent hydrophobicity.

[0115] Test Example 3

[0116] The alkali-free liquid accelerator prepared in Example 2 was applied to different types of cement (Guizhou Southwest Cement, Shandong Yangchun Cement, Hebei Jidong Cement, Guangdong Jinyang Cement, and Jiangxi Wannianqing Cement). Specifically, the alkali-free liquid accelerators prepared in each example and comparative example were tested for setting time, mortar compressive strength, static contact angle, and water absorption according to the testing methods specified in GB / T 35159-2017 "Accelerators for Shotcrete" and JGJ / T70-2009 "Standard for Test Methods for Basic Properties of Building Mortar." The alkali-free liquid accelerator was added at 8 wt% of the cement mass. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0117] Table 4

[0118]

[0119] The results in Table 4 show that the early-strength hydrophobic alkali-free liquid setting agent prepared in the present invention can improve the hydrophobicity of different cements, and its slurry setting time and mortar compressive strength meet the requirements of GB / T 35159-2017 and Q / CR 807-2020, showing good adaptability.

[0120] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 9, the high stirring rate causes bubbles to form in the prepared liquid quick-setting agent, and white lumps appear at the bubbles after cooling, seriously affecting the stability.

[0121] Compared to Example 1, in Comparative Example 10, increasing the stirring temperature during the addition of the amino acid resulted in a change in the structure of the amino acid's effective coordination group, which was unable to effectively coordinate with the free aluminum ions. After stirring, the accelerator was a white paste, which did not meet the requirements of a liquid accelerator.

[0122] Compared to Example 1, in Comparative Example 11, the amino acid was added to the reactor before aluminum sulfate 18hydrate and stirred at room temperature. This resulted in the prepared liquid accelerator producing 15 ml of clear liquid at 28 days and a 6-hour mortar compressive strength of 0.8 MPa. This indicates that the prepared liquid accelerator exhibited poor stability and failed to meet the early strength requirements.

[0123] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the technical concept of the present invention, various simple variations of the technical solution of the present invention may be made, including combining the various technical features in any other appropriate manner. These simple variations and combinations should also be regarded as disclosed in the present invention and fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
