Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of grouting water plugging materials, in particular, relates to a tunnel grouting water plugging material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Grouting water plugging materials are mainly used in underground engineering, tunnels, dams, mines, subways, underground garages and other structures to solve the problems of structural safety and durability caused by water leakage. The material is injected into cracks or pores, and after curing, a dense waterproof layer is formed to prevent water penetration and protect the structure from water damage.

[0003] Conventional grouting water plugging materials usually only rely on the filling and curing of ordinary cement and fine aggregate, although they can provide certain structural strength, but their tensile strength and toughness are insufficient, lack of support, and are prone to cracks and damage under external force; the waterproof performance is limited, and it is difficult for the hydrated calcium silicate generated by cement hydration to seal fine cracks and pores, resulting in poor waterproof effect; the durability is poor, and the material is easily oxidized and aged, degraded under long-term exposure, and the performance rapidly degrades.

[0004] Therefore, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0019] Optionally, the antioxidant includes but is not limited to 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol and triphenyl phosphite.

[0020] As a preferred, the antioxidant is 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol and triphenyl phosphite, and the antioxidant is in a liquid state with a molecular weight of 220.35g / mol.

[0021] A tunnel grouting water plugging material and a preparation method thereof, comprising the following steps:

[0022] S1: cement, ultra-fine cement, fine aggregate, bentonite, polypropylene fiber, antioxidant are poured into a mixing device, the mixing device is started, and dry mixing is performed for 15 minutes, and a dry mixture is obtained after uniform mixing;

[0025] After the above technical solution is adopted, the present application has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Of course, any product implementing the present application does not necessarily need to achieve all the advantages described below:

[0026] The grouting and water plugging material of the present application significantly enhances the tensile strength, toughness and durability of the material through the synergistic effect of cement, ultra-fine cement, fine aggregate, bentonite, polyurethane, acrylate polymer, waterproofing agent, polypropylene fiber and antioxidant. Among them, the polypropylene fiber forms a three-dimensional network structure inside the material, effectively enhancing the tensile strength and toughness; the polyurethane and acrylate polymer form a dense film layer in the material, significantly hindering the penetration of moisture. In addition, the addition of antioxidant effectively prevents the aging degradation of the material due to oxidation, thereby ensuring the long-term stability and safety of the tunnel structure in various complex environments.

[0053] Comparative Example 1: A tunnel grouting water plugging material is provided, which is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: cement 25 parts, ultra-fine cement 25 parts, fine aggregate 10 parts, bentonite 10 parts, polyurethane 10 parts, water repellent 3 parts, and the water-binder ratio thereof is 0.40.

[0054] Experimental Example 1: Compressive Strength Test

[0055] The test was carried out in accordance with the test requirements in “Cement Mortar Strength Test” (GB / T 17671-1999), and a standard compressive strength testing machine was used for testing. The equipment was calibrated to ensure that it was in good working condition. According to the requirements of GB / T 17671-1999, the loading speed was set to 2.4±0.2 kN / s. The sample was placed in the center of the lower pressing plate of the testing machine, and the equipment was started to load at a constant speed until the sample was destroyed. The maximum load at the time of destruction was recorded. The compressive strength was calculated based on the destruction load of the sample and the cross-sectional area of the sample. The compressive strength test results of the final Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Table 1.

[0056] Table 1: Compressive Strength Test Results

[0057] Sample Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Control Example 1 Compressive strength (MPa) 51.2 49.8 46.3 39.2

[0058] As can be seen from Table 1, the strength of Examples 1-3 is higher than that of Comparative Example 1, mainly due to the addition of 8 parts, 5 parts and 2 parts of polypropylene fiber in Examples 1, 2 and 3 respectively, while no polypropylene fiber is added in Comparative Example 1. Polypropylene fiber plays an important role in reinforcing the material. Its high strength and high modulus characteristics enable it to effectively disperse stress in the mixture, increasing the tensile strength and toughness of the material. Specifically, the addition of polypropylene fiber can prevent the generation and propagation of cracks, thereby improving the strength and durability of the overall structure.

[0059] In addition, 1 part of antioxidant was added in each of Examples 1-3, which played an important protective role in the performance stability of the material. In the exposed environment, the material is usually eroded by oxidation, leading to its performance degradation and shortened service life. Antioxidants can effectively prevent the occurrence of oxidation reactions.

[0060] Polyurethane and acrylic polymers were added in each of Examples 1-3, which had good adhesion and elasticity, and could significantly improve the overall performance of the material. Polyurethane had excellent elasticity and wear resistance, which could increase the flexibility and impact resistance of the material. Acrylic polymers played a key modification role in the material due to their excellent adhesion and weather resistance. The addition of these polymers not only improved the mechanical properties of the material, but also improved its durability and service life, so that the materials in the examples could maintain high strength and stability in various complex use environments.

[0061] In summary, the material strength in Examples 1-3 was significantly higher than that in Comparative Example 1, mainly due to the reinforcing effect of polypropylene fibers, the protective effect of antioxidants, and the modification effect of polyurethane and acrylic polymers.

[0062] Experimental Example 2: Water absorption test

[0063] According to the test requirements in "Polymer Cement Waterproof Coating" (GB / T 23445-2009), the well-maintained test sample was weighed before the test, and the initial mass was recorded to 0.1 g. The test sample was placed in an oven and dried to constant weight at a temperature of (105±5℃), usually at least 24 hours. Weigh every 2 hours, when the difference between two times is less than 0.1 g, it is considered as constant weight. Record the mass after drying, accurate to 0.1 g. The dried test sample was completely immersed in room temperature water (20±5℃) for 48 hours. Ensure that the test sample is completely immersed in water, and there is no bubble attached to the surface of the test sample, if necessary, pressurize on the water surface to ensure that the test sample is fully water absorbed. Ensure that the test sample is completely immersed in water, and there is no bubble attached to the surface of the test sample, if necessary, pressurize on the water surface to ensure that the test sample is fully water absorbed. Immediately weigh the test sample and record the mass after water absorption. The final compressive strength test results of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Table 2.

[0064] Table 2: Water absorption test results

[0065] Sample Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Control Example 1 Water absorption (%) 1.18 1.29 1.10 3.04

[0066] As shown in Table 2, the water absorption of Examples 1-3 is lower than that of Comparative Example 1, the addition of polypropylene fibers not only improves the tensile strength and toughness of the material, but also forms a three-dimensional network structure inside the material, effectively preventing the penetration and diffusion of water, and reducing the water absorption.

[0067] In addition, 1 part of an antioxidant was added in each of Examples 1-3. These additives can effectively prevent the aging of the material due to oxidation in the exposed environment, maintain the structural stability and compactness of the material, and reduce the water intrusion path increased due to material degradation. The role of the antioxidant is to capture free radicals to prevent the occurrence of oxidation reactions, thereby protecting the chemical stability of the material and reducing the increase in water absorption due to material aging.

[0068] Finally, polyurethane and acrylic ester polymers were added in each of Examples 1-3, which have good adhesion and elasticity, can form a dense film layer in the material, and prevent the penetration of moisture. The addition of polyurethane provides excellent waterproof performance, and its good elasticity allows the material to deform moderately when subjected to external pressure without cracking. Polyurethane also has excellent wear resistance and weather resistance, which can maintain stable waterproof effect in long-term use. The acrylic ester polymer, through its excellent adhesion performance, tightly binds the components of the material together to form a uniform and dense whole. In addition, the weather resistance and anti-aging performance of the acrylic ester polymer enable the material to maintain low water absorption in complex environments. The combined effect of these polymers significantly improves the durability and waterproof performance of the material, ensuring that the material can effectively prevent the penetration of moisture during use.

[0069] In summary, the water absorption of Examples 1-3 is lower than that of Comparative Example 1, mainly due to the reinforcing effect of polypropylene fibers, the protective effect of antioxidants, and the modification effect of polyurethane and acrylic ester polymers. The tunnel grouting water plugging material not only has high strength, but also has excellent waterproof performance, which can effectively resist water intrusion and maintain the durability and stability of the material. Through these improvements, the comprehensive performance of the material has been significantly improved, meeting the actual needs of tunnel engineering.

[0070] The preparation method of the test samples in Experimental Examples 1 and 2 is to pour the uniformly mixed slurry into a standard mold, paying attention to fill it densely and scrape the surface flat. The test sample together with the mold is placed in a curing box to maintain the temperature (20±1℃) and humidity (≥90%) for initial curing for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the test sample is removed from the mold. Finally, the demolded test sample is placed in a curing pool under the conditions of temperature (20±1℃) and humidity (≥90%) for continued curing for 28 days.

[0071] The present application is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and anyone should know that structural changes made under the inspiration of the present application fall within the scope of the present application. Any technical, shape, or structure not described in detail in the present application is a known technology.
