Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of construction technology, and in particular to airtight machine-made sand concrete and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Tunnels play a vital role in shortening travel distances, increasing transportation capacity, and reducing accidents. However, when the mountain through which tunnels are traversed is composed of coal seams containing gas, if the tunnel lining is not dense, the gas and other harmful gases in the coal seams will leak through the tunnel lining and into the tunnel. When the gas accumulates to a certain concentration, it will cause an explosion, causing great harm to tunnel construction, vehicle operation, and the lives and property of passengers. In tunnel construction, airtight concrete is often used to ensure the safety of engineers and users. Due to the current scarcity of river sand resources, the use of manufactured sand in concrete production is becoming a trend. However, the sharp particle shape of manufactured sand significantly increases the air permeability coefficient of the produced airtight concrete, which cannot meet the requirements of tunnel construction.
[0003] To address this issue, patent application CN114133190A describes airtight concrete and its preparation method. The premix is pre-mixed with 800-900 parts of manufactured sand, 950-1050 parts of crushed stone, 275-320 parts of cement, 65-100 parts of fly ash, 6-10 parts of admixture, 25-30 parts of airtight agent, and 150-160 parts of water. The premix is then uniformly stirred to produce airtight concrete. Using manufactured sand as the primary raw material, the method proposes using a specific airtight agent, controlling the ratio of coarse and fine aggregates, using an expansion agent, and pre-treating the crushed stone and manufactured sand at a speed of at least 1500 rpm for 30-60 minutes. This method increases strength and reduces air permeability, thereby achieving the mechanical strength of river sand while increasing airtightness and impermeability, meeting the requirements of tunnel construction. However, in actual application, the processing of crushed stone and machine-made sand is difficult to control, and energy consumption increases and production efficiency decreases. In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an airtight machine-made sand concrete and a preparation method thereof in response to the above-mentioned problems. The present invention prepares airtight machine-made sand concrete with stable workability and excellent airtightness by utilizing a specific raw material composition, especially the control of stone powder, the use of powder admixtures and special admixtures.
[0005] When the present invention uses machine-made sand instead of river sand to prepare airtight concrete, the key application indicators of the prepared airtight machine-made sand concrete, such as the air permeability coefficient and air loss, are difficult to control due to the structural characteristics of the machine-made sand. After a large number of experimental studies, it was found that when preparing airtight machine-made sand concrete, if an appropriate amount of foam stabilizer is added, the airtightness of the airtight machine-made sand concrete is significantly improved. After further research, it was clarified that the airtight machine-made sand concrete and its preparation method provided by the present invention, when machine-made sand, crushed stone, cement, powder mainly composed of silica fume, fly ash, expansion agent, stone powder and powder water reducer, are used. The concrete is prepared from raw materials consisting of a solid admixture and a special admixture mainly consisting of a polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent, a retarder, an air entraining agent, a defoamer, a foam stabilizer and water. The construction workability and air tightness of the airtight machine-made sand concrete are significantly improved. In particular, the design of the foam stabilizer in the special admixture, the stone powder in the powder admixture and the total stone powder content in the raw materials solves the dispersion problem of silica fume in the mixed system during the construction process. Specifically, the obtained airtight machine-made sand concrete has low air loss, stable mechanical properties and low permeability coefficient, is particularly suitable for use in tunnels, and has very important technical significance.
[0006] The present invention provides an airtight machine-made sand concrete. The raw materials for preparing the concrete include, by weight:
[0007] 800-900 parts of machine-made sand;
[0008] 900-1100 parts of crushed stone;
[0009] 270-320 parts of cement;
[0010] 85-105 parts of powder admixture;
[0011] 3.7 to 10 parts of admixture;
[0012] 148-166 parts water;
[0013] The powder admixture comprises:
[0014] 8-13 parts of silica fume;

[0027] In the research of the present invention, it was also found that the total content of stone powder in the raw materials has a great influence on the construction and workability of the airtight machine-made sand concrete during mixing. If the stone powder content is too high, the concrete viscosity will be higher. If the stone powder content is too low, the concrete workability will be poor. Under normal circumstances, machine-made sand will inevitably contain a certain amount of stone powder. The results of the experiment showed that: when the stone powder content in the machine-made sand is low, by adding an appropriate amount of stone powder to the powder admixture, on the basis of the effect of the foam stabilizer, the dispersion stability of silica fume is further improved, which is very helpful to the overall improvement of the airtight machine-made sand concrete, especially the improvement of airtightness.

[0056] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the airtight machine-made sand concrete as described above, comprising mixing machine-made sand, crushed stone, cement, powder admixture and a portion of water to obtain a premix; and mixing another portion of water and a special admixture into the premix to obtain the airtight machine-made sand concrete.
[0057] According to the method for preparing the airtight machine-made sand concrete provided by the present invention, the powder admixture is obtained by mixing silica fume, fly ash, an expansive agent, stone powder and a powder water reducer.
