Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cement-based building materials technology, and in particular to a grouting material for low-temperature construction, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Grouting technology involves preparing a slurry from one or more materials, which is then pumped into fractured aquifers or soft, loose strata to solidify and bond, thus achieving water plugging or reinforcement. This technology is applied not only in underground engineering but also in surface engineering, particularly in tunnel transportation, foundation reinforcement, hydraulic engineering leak sealing, and mine restoration. Currently, single-component ordinary cement grouting is prone to bleeding and segregation, shrinks in volume after hardening, and has poor mechanical properties, making it difficult to meet anti-seepage requirements. Ordinary cement-water glass two-component grouting materials exhibit significant linear shrinkage, severely affecting the long-term stability of the grouting effect. Furthermore, its chemical structure is unstable; under contact with flowing water, a large amount of sodium ions dissolve, causing the hardened body to pulverize, reducing its consolidation strength, and the dissolved sodium ions also pollute water resources.

[0003] Currently, cement-based grouting technology is mainly used in normal temperature construction environments. It can prepare multifunctional cement-based grouting materials, such as early-strength type (CN115385638A, CN114436604A, CN116332543A), strong impermeability (CN202111245699), anti-dispersion type (CN114605102A), and low viscosity type (CN116655317A). Under normal temperature conditions, it is relatively easy to achieve the above functions. Patent CN116835947A invented a high-temperature and high-efficiency water-blocking grouting material. However, the development of cement-based grouting materials under low-temperature conditions is still blank. Although the existing technology CN116854438A discloses an ultra-low temperature grout for wind power steel-concrete towers, which can be constructed at -20℃, it is suitable for wind power foundation installation. The grout has no fluidity and uses a large amount of highly active cement, resulting in high cost. Summary of the Invention
