Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of concrete, and in particular relates to a super slow-setting concrete and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The bite pile combines the economy of bored piles and the safety and reliability of underground continuous walls in water-stopping, anti-seepage and deformation control. It is a new support structure system that has developed rapidly in recent years. It has outstanding competitive advantages and has been increasingly recognized and applied. This process requires concrete to have a long initial setting time to meet the construction process requirements. The preparation of super-slow setting concrete can solve this problem, not only ensuring the smooth progress of construction, but also has the following advantages. First, improve the quality of the project: through reasonable mix design, super-slow setting concrete can maintain plasticity while not affecting its later strength development. This helps to improve the quality and durability of the project. Second, control the construction progress: The application of super-slow setting concrete can extend the operable time of concrete, facilitate construction arrangements and control the construction progress. Third, reduce costs: By optimizing the mix design, the cost of raw materials can be reduced and economic benefits can be improved while meeting performance requirements. Fourth, promote technological innovation: The research and application of super-slow setting concrete will help promote the innovation and development of concrete technology and provide more solutions for construction projects.

[0003] Super slow-setting concrete requires a long setting time and a 28d strength no less than the design strength grade. During its preparation, the amount of retarder is often increased to increase the energy barrier that cement hydration needs to overcome, thereby delaying the setting of concrete and inhibiting the development of early concrete strength. However, this operation will also have a certain impact on the later strength development of concrete. Summary of the invention

[0007] In some of the embodiments, the sand fineness modulus is 2.3-3.0, the mud content is ≤3%, and the mud block content is ≤1%. When the mud content or mud block content in the sand exceeds the limit, a screening and washing process is added or the dosage of cement, fly ash, mineral powder and admixture is adjusted.

[0008] In some of the embodiments, the crushed stone is a continuous particle size of 5~25mm, the mud content is ≤1%, and the mud block content is ≤0.5%. When the mud content or mud block content in the crushed stone exceeds the limit, a screening and washing process is added or the amount of cement, fly ash, mineral powder and admixture is adjusted.

[0009] In some of the embodiments, the water reducer is a collapse-retaining polycarboxylic acid-based high-performance water reducer.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the super slow setting concrete contains 308 kg of cement, 64 kg of fly ash, 53 kg of mineral powder, 735 kg of sand, 1035 kg of 5-25 mm crushed stone, 9.35 kg of admixture and 170 kg of water per cubic meter; the initial setting time of the concrete is 61.5 h, the final setting time is 76 h; the 3d compressive strength is 1.6 MPa, the 28d compressive strength is 45.9 MPa, and the impermeability grade reaches P6 or above.

[0019] Table 1. Test results of physical and mechanical properties of cement

[0020] Table 2. Cement chemical analysis test results

[0021] It can be seen from the table that all performance indicators of the cement used in this mix test meet the requirements of GB 175-2023 "General Portland Cement".

[0022] The fly ash is specifically Class F II fly ash, and after testing, all performance indicators meet the requirements of GBT 1596-2017 "Fly ash used in cement and concrete". The mineral powder is S95 grade mineral powder, and after testing, all performance indicators meet the requirements of JTS 202-2-2011 "Concrete Quality Control Standard for Water Transport Engineering".

[0023] Fine aggregate sand: The fine aggregate used for the following mix ratio verification comes from natural aggregate produced by the screening system near the construction site. The test was carried out according to the Technical Specifications for Testing and Inspection of Concrete for Water Transport Engineering JTST 236-2019. The screening test and test results are shown in Tables 3, 4 and Figure 1 .

[0024] Table 3. Sand test results
