[0047] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed" to another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there can be an intervening element.

As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] The present application provides an optimization method for replacing steel fibers with modified bamboo fibers in UHPC, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0051] Step S1, fresh bamboo is selected, and a bamboo cylinder is cut off, and the bamboo cylinder is pretreated to obtain a bamboo strip;

[0052] Specifically, first, fresh bamboo of 1 year old is selected, and bamboo tubes of the same height are cut off, with a diameter of 80-92 mm and a thickness of 6.1-7.2 mm. The bamboo tube is a bamboo tube segment 1.5 m away from the ground, with a length of about 2.0 m. After the bamboo tube is cut off, the bamboo tube is pretreated. The main process of pretreatment mainly includes the material sorting process. The material sorting process first removes the branches and sharp tips on the bamboo tube to ensure uniformity in subsequent processing. Then, the bamboo is cut into single stems with a length of 33 cm to meet the needs of preparing bamboo chips.

[0053] After the material sorting process, the bamboo chip preparation process is carried out. In the bamboo chip preparation process, the bamboo tube is split into bamboo chips of a specific size using machine or manual technology. These bamboo chips usually have a length of 33 cm, a width of 8-10 mm, and a thickness of 2-4 mm. The size of the bamboo chips can be adjusted according to the needs of the product. After the bamboo chip preparation process, the inner layer removal process is carried out. In the inner layer removal process, the bamboo green and bamboo yellow parts in the bamboo chips are removed by machine or manual method to ensure the quality and stability of the bamboo and prepare for subsequent use. The accurate execution of the above pretreatment steps ensures smooth conversion from bamboo to bamboo chips, providing a solid bamboo foundation for experimental projects.

[0054] Step S2, modifying the bamboo strips to make modified bamboo fibers of a preset length;

[0055] In this embodiment, the bamboo strips are modified by traditional chemical methods. Specifically, the bamboo strips are placed in an oven at 103°C for 6 hours to achieve complete dehydration of the bamboo fibers. Second, a 4% sodium chlorite solution is prepared, and glacial acetic acid is added to adjust the pH value of the solution. The solution is heated in a constant temperature water bath at 80°C, and the beaker opening is sealed with plastic wrap. The treatment time is 2-5 hours. The bamboo chips are washed with deionized water to remove the solution remaining on the surface of the bamboo chips. Then, the bamboo sample after delignification is placed in an oven at 60°C for 15 minutes, and dried at room temperature for 2 hours before storage. Finally, single modified bamboo fibers are prepared by defibrillation of the bamboo using a bamboo decomposition machine.

[0056] In this embodiment, the modified bamboo fibers of a preset length can be 6 mm, 9 mm, and 12 mm.

[0057] It should be noted that the method for making modified bamboo fibers of a preset length also includes a physical method, which directly processes the cut-off bamboo cylinder. Specifically, first, the bamboo cylinder is subjected to a softening process, the bamboo cylinder specimen is soaked in water for 12 hours, and then the bamboo cylinder is placed in a solution of 8% by mass fraction of NAOH for high-temperature normal-pressure cooking softening for 90 minutes to achieve the softening effect of the bamboo cylinder. Second, the softened bamboo cylinder is subjected to a pressure fiberizing test using a bamboo cutting machine. After the fiberizing is completed, the specimen is cleaned and arranged, and then dried in a vacuum drying oven to obtain the modified bamboo fibers.

[0058] It should be further noted that the natural bamboo fibers are modified to have high strength and high elastic modulus, and the performance of the modified bamboo fibers is greatly improved, with a tensile strength of 1500MPa~1800MPa and an elastic modulus of 70GPa.

[0059] Step S3, stirring 1.0% by volume of end-hook type steel fibers, 1.0% by volume of modified bamboo fibers of a preset length, and ultra-high performance concrete in a fiber mixer;

[0060] Specifically, first, the raw materials of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) are added to the fiber mixer, and the raw materials of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) are stirred in the fiber mixer. After uniform stirring, 1.0% by volume of end-hook type steel fibers and 1.0% by volume of modified bamboo fibers of a preset length are added to the fiber mixer; continue to stir to uniformly disperse the fiber raw materials in the concrete.

[0061] Specifically, the mass of each material is accurately measured, and the cement, silica fume, micro-fine powder, quartz powder, fly ash, and quartz sand are mixed and poured into the fiber mixer, and dry mixing is performed for 5 Slowly add the mixing water (high-efficiency water reducing agent and water), and stir for 5 Finally, slowly and uniformly add the fibers, and stir for 10 .

[0062] It should be noted that the preparation principles of ultra-high performance concrete and ordinary concrete are different. The main manifestations are as follows: the maximum packing density theory is adopted for ultra-high performance concrete, and the most compact packing is formed by configuring different particle size particles; ultra-high performance concrete does not use coarse aggregate, and the particle size of fine aggregate is also required to be not greater than 1 mm; materials such as silica fume, fly ash, cement, ultra-active slag powder, quartz powder, super-efficient water reducing agent (polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent), quartz, and water are used.

[0063] In this embodiment, 1.0% by volume of end hook type steel fiber and 1.0% by volume of modified bamboo fiber of preset length are mixed in the cement base. Compared with the performance of 2% by volume of steel fiber UHPC under the premise of the same volume of fiber, the UHPC of the present application 1.0% by volume of end hook type steel fiber + 1.0% by volume of modified bamboo fiber of preset length is superior to the steel fiber in the bending strength and the splitting tensile strength under the condition that the compressive strength is almost unchanged. Moreover, the mixed incorporation of modified bamboo fiber and steel fiber can achieve the double goals of green low carbon and reducing the cost of UHPC.

[0064] It should be noted that the end hook type steel fiber referred to in this embodiment refers to the finished steel fiber with a fiber diameter of 2.0 mm and a hook at the end.

[0065] Step S4, filling the ultra-high performance concrete into the mold and vibrating to form; curing and hardening the formed concrete to prepare the hybrid fiber ultra-high performance concrete structural member;

[0066] Specifically, the uniformly stirred ultra-high performance concrete is poured into the mold coated with release agent, the vibration table is set to a vibration time of 3 min, and the concrete is vibrated to form. Finally, the test block is smoothed to form.

[0067] After the test piece is formed, it is placed in a standard curing room for 2 days before demolding. After the test block is demolded, it is placed in a cement rapid curing box, the temperature rising rate is set to , and the temperature is raised to 72 h for 3 days. Finally, the temperature is adjusted back to room temperature at a rate of . The test block is taken out to prepare the hybrid fiber ultra-high performance concrete structural member, and the ultra-high performance concrete structural member is shown in Figure 1 .

[0068] Performance test of the ultra-high performance concrete structural member:

[0069] In this embodiment, the effects of different shape types of steel fiber, three different volume contents (1%, 1.5%, and 2%) and hybrid hook type steel fiber and modified bamboo fiber on the fluidity and mechanical properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) are studied when the steel fiber is mixed alone.

[0089] Example 2

[0090] In the preparation process of hybrid fiber concrete, the raw materials and fibers of concrete are weighed according to the proportion, the raw materials of concrete are first put into the fiber mixer for stirring, the modified bamboo fiber and the end-hook type steel fiber are slowly added after stirring for a period of time, and the ultra-high performance concrete is obtained after uniform stirring and discharging.

[0091] However, since the fiber raw materials are generally added to the fiber mixer through fixed feeding channels, there is a phenomenon of partial clumping of the added fibers, which leads to uneven dispersion of the fibers in the concrete, thereby reducing the tensile, bending and impact strength of the ultra-high performance concrete; therefore, the present embodiment proposes a fiber mixer to improve this.

[0092] Please refer to Figures 2-6The fiber stirring machine comprises a box body 1, a feeding pipe 2 arranged in the middle of the top wall of the box body 1, a guide hopper 3 arranged directly below the feeding pipe 2, the upper and lower ends of the guide hopper 3 being open, a feeding hopper 4 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bottom end of the guide hopper 3, and the lower end of the feeding hopper 4 being open. A conical block 5 is arranged at the bottom center of the feeding hopper 4, and the conical block 5 is connected to the inner surface of the feeding hopper 4 through a connecting rod. The outlet of the guide hopper 3 is located directly above the conical block 5, so that the discharged material of the guide hopper 3 falls on the conical block 5, and the conical block 5 makes the fibers dispersed and then enter the box body 1. The guide hopper 3 and the feeding hopper 4 are both circular truncated cone-shaped. The cross-sectional diameter of the top end of the guide hopper 3 is greater than the diameter of the outlet of the bottom end of the feeding pipe 2. When the discharged material of the feeding pipe 2 falls on the inner wall of the guide hopper 3 at different positions, it can fall on the conical block 5 under the guidance of the guide hopper 3. Preferably, the cross-sectional diameter of the top end of the guide hopper 3 is 2.0-5.0 times the diameter of the outlet of the bottom end of the feeding pipe 2, that is, the cross-sectional diameter of the top end of the guide hopper 3 is obviously greater than the diameter of the outlet of the bottom end of the feeding pipe 2, so that the guide hopper 3 can move within a certain range relative to the feeding pipe 2. Since the guide hopper 3 can move relative to the feeding pipe 2, and the guide hopper 3 and the feeding hopper 4 are connected to each other, the feeding hopper 4 can be moved, so that the fibers are further dispersed at different positions in the box body 1, avoiding uneven dispersion of the fibers in the ultra-high performance concrete due to clumping, and being beneficial to improving the tensile, bending and impact strength of the ultra-high performance concrete.

[0093] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In order to realize the movement of the guide hopper 3 relative to the feeding pipe 2, first sliding blocks 7 are connected to the left and right outer walls of the feeding hopper 4 through connecting structures 6. The first sliding blocks 7 are slidingly arranged on first sliding rods 9, and the first sliding block 7 located on the left side of the feeding hopper 4 is threadedly connected with a threaded rod 8. The threaded rod 8 penetrates through and is threadedly connected with the first sliding block 7 at the middle part, and the two ends of the threaded rod 8 are rotationally connected with the left side wall of the box body 1 and the outer wall of the feeding pipe 2, respectively. The threaded rod 8 is driven to rotate by a driving mechanism, so that the first sliding block 7 reciprocates along the central axis of the first sliding rod 9, and the guide hopper 3 and the feeding hopper 4 reciprocate along the width direction of the box body 1 as a whole, so as to realize the dispersion of the fibers at different positions in the box body 1, so that the ultra-high performance concrete and the fiber raw materials are uniformly mixed during the stirring process, and the tensile, bending and impact strength of the ultra-high performance concrete is improved.

[0094] Specifically, please refer to Figure 6The driving mechanism comprises a mounting frame 10 mounted on the left side wall of the box body 1, a first motor 11 mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting frame 10, and a residual conical gear 12 fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 11. The residual conical gear 12 is in turn meshingly connected with a first conical gear 13 and a second conical gear 14, which are mounted on the same gear shaft. A first gear 15 is also mounted on the gear shaft, and the first gear 15 is meshingly connected with a second gear 16. One end of the threaded rod 8 extends into the mounting frame 10 and is connected with the second gear 16. It can be understood that when the first motor 11 drives the residual conical gear 12 to rotate, the residual conical gear 12 is in turn meshingly connected with the first conical gear 13 and the second conical gear 14, so that the corresponding gear shafts of the first conical gear 13 and the second conical gear 14 are in turn positively rotated and reversely rotated, and then under the driving cooperation of the first gear 15 and the second gear 16, the threaded rod 8 is positively rotated and reversely rotated, and after the threaded rod 8 is positively rotated and reversely rotated, the guiding hopper 3 and the feeding hopper 4 are further reciprocated along the width direction of the box body 1 as a whole.

[0095] Further, please refer to Figures 3-5The worm 19 is rotatably connected in the first sliding block 7 on the left side of the feeding hopper 4, wherein the central axis of the worm 19 is perpendicular to the central axis of the first sliding rod 9. The worm 19 is meshingly connected with a worm wheel 20, and the worm wheel 20 is interference-fitted with a residual gear 21 on the wheel shaft, that is, the worm wheel 20 and the residual gear 21 are installed on the same wheel shaft. The teeth on the residual gear 21 are used for intermittently meshingly connecting with the teeth on a second rack 22. The second rack 22 is installed on a second sliding block 23, and the second sliding block 23 is slidingly arranged on a second sliding rod 24, and the two ends of the second sliding rod 24 are installed on the inner wall of the first sliding block 7. A spring 25 is sleeved on the second sliding rod 24, and the two ends of the spring 25 are respectively abutted against the second sliding block 23 and the inner wall of the first sliding block 7. In this embodiment, the end of the connecting structure 6 away from the feeding hopper 4 is connected with the lower surface of the second sliding block 23, and specifically, the connecting structure 6 includes a horizontal rod and a vertical rod connected with each other. A sliding groove for the vertical rod to slide is formed in the bottom wall of the first sliding block 7. The outer surface of the two ends of the worm 19 is also interference-fitted with a third gear 18, and the third gear 18 is meshingly connected with a first rack 17 installed on the lower surface of the top wall of the box body 1. In the process that the first sliding block 7 moves from one end of the threaded rod 8 to the other end, the third gear 18 is meshingly connected with the first rack 17 to drive the worm 19 to rotate, and under the transmission cooperation of the worm 19 and the worm wheel 20, the residual gear 21 is driven to rotate. When the teeth on the residual gear 21 cooperate with the second rack 22, the second sliding block 23 will slide on the second sliding rod 24 and compress the spring 25, and when the teeth on the residual gear 21 are disengaged from the second rack 22, the second sliding block 23 will move reversely under the reset action of the spring 25. Since the second sliding block 23 is connected with the feeding hopper 4 through the connecting structure 6, the guiding hopper 3 and the feeding hopper 4 are simultaneously reciprocated along the front-back direction of the box body 1 in the process that they move along the width direction of the box body 1, and the fibers are further dispersed at different positions of the box body 1 so as to be fully dispersed.

[0096] It should be noted that the reciprocating movement of the guiding hopper 3 and the feeding hopper 4 along the front-back direction of the box body 1 is in the process that they move from the left side of the box body 1 to the right side or in the process that they move from the right side of the box body 1 to the left side, rather than in the process that they move from the center of the box body 1 to the edge, that is, the guiding hopper 3 and the feeding hopper 4 are not obliquely moved from the center of the box body 1 to the edge. Instead, they are reciprocated along the front-back direction of the box body 1 in the process that the box body 1 moves laterally to the left or to the right in one direction, so that the fibers can be fully dispersed at different positions of the box body 1.

[0097] It needs to be further explained that the guide hopper 3 and the feeding hopper 4 can move left and right along the box body 1 and can also move forward and backward along the box body 1, and the characteristics that the circular table-shaped guide hopper 3 will not interfere with the feeding pipe 2 after moving forward and backward and left and right are fully utilized; it needs to be noted that when the edge of the guide hopper 3 is close to the feeding pipe 2, the inner wall of the guide hopper 3 is close to the feeding pipe 2 in the front and back direction; therefore, when the guide hopper 3 and the feeding hopper 4 move left and right, the limit position of the movement should be spaced apart from the feeding pipe 2 by a certain distance, so as to avoid the front and back reciprocating movement of the guide hopper 3 from colliding with the feeding pipe 2 when the guide hopper 3 is too close to the feeding pipe 2.

[0098] Further, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The box body 1 is further provided with a stirring structure 26, the stirring structure 26 comprising a second motor and a stirring paddle, the second motor being installed on the side wall of the box body 1, and the output end of the second motor being connected with the stirring paddle. The bottom wall of the box body 1 is provided with a discharging structure 27, the discharging structure 27 comprising a discharging channel and a flow guide block, the flow guide block being arranged on the bottom wall of the box body 1 and being used for guiding the uniformly stirred ultra-high performance concrete into the discharging channel, and the opening and closing of the discharging channel can be controlled through a valve.
