Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cementitious materials, and particularly relates to a cementitious material with improved toughness. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cement-based materials have become the most widely used building material in the world due to their high compressive strength, good durability and low price. However, with the development of engineering construction, especially with the continuous development of high-strength concrete, the brittleness of concrete has become a more and more prominent problem. The root cause is that the low tensile strength of cement-based materials leads to the brittleness of concrete.

[0003] The tensile strength of cement-based materials is only 1 / 10 of the compressive strength, and the ultimate tensile elongation is only 1.0x10 -4 MPa. These shortcomings of cement-based materials cannot be eliminated by self-improvement, and the use of "complex" provides an effective solution to these problems. For example, adding high molecular polymer fibers to cement-based materials can significantly improve the early crack resistance of cement concrete, and adding steel fibers to cement-based materials can improve the compressive strength and tensile strength of cement concrete.

[0004] The Chinese patent with the publication number CN118271033A "Preparation method of super high performance fiber toughened cement-based composite material" uses the method of modifying aggregate and fiber to prepare a super high performance fiber toughened cement-based composite material, which improves the toughness and durability of concrete. In addition, polymer emulsion modified concrete provides an effective way to improve the toughness of concrete from the perspective of improving the performance of cementitious materials in concrete. High molecular polymers can form special bridge bonds due to the coordination effect between special functional groups and cement hydration products or metal ions, further enhancing the bonding force between materials and improving the toughness of cement-based materials. The Chinese patent with the publication number CN105819735A "Polymer in-situ toughened cement-based material and preparation method thereof" uses the method of combining polyvinyl alcohol and latex powder to prepare a cement-based material with good flowability, good workability, fast strength development and high flexural strength.

[0005] The above toughening methods have some limitations. Traditional fiber toughening can improve the crack resistance of cement-based materials, but it cannot inhibit the development of cracks at the micro level, and the toughening effect is limited. Polymer toughening has good effect and is currently the main method of cement-based toughening, but polymer toughening cement-based materials also has problems such as uneven distribution of polymers, poor compatibility and combination, which affect its application in actual engineering. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims at providing a cementitious material with improved toughness, which is prepared by adjusting the mineral composition of cement clinker, optimizing the particle size distribution of cement, and adding high-toughness auxiliary cementitious material, etc., from the perspective of cement clinker, so as to fundamentally relieve the problem of high brittleness of cement-based materials.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0008] The cementitious material with improved toughness comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 9.2-16.2wt% high-activity auxiliary cementitious material A, 49.4-53.5wt% high-performance cementitious material B, and 30.3-41.4wt% high-toughness auxiliary cementitious material C, wherein the high-activity auxiliary cementitious material A is one or more of silica fume, slag, or high-calcium fly ash, the high-performance cementitious material B is high-iron-phase high belite cement clinker, and the high-toughness auxiliary cementitious material C is modified rubber powder.

[0009] Further, the mineral composition of the high-iron-phase high belite cement clinker is 32.07wt% C3S, 49.61wt% C2S, 1.96wt% C3A, and 16.36wt% C4AF.

[0010] The preparation method of the modified rubber powder is as follows:

[0011] S1, adding quicklime into water to obtain saturated lime water;

[0012] S2, after washing the surface impurities of rubber powder, putting the rubber powder into the saturated lime water, taking out the rubber powder after soaking for 20-24h;

[0013] S3, adding MgCl2·6H2O into the saturated lime water to obtain a mixed slurry, and the concentration ratio of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the mixed slurry is 1:1; 2+ and Mg 2+ ;

[0014] S4, heating the mixed slurry to 80℃ and keeping the temperature for 1-1.5h, and continuously stirring during the heating and keeping process;

[0015] S5, re-adding the soaked rubber powder into the mixed slurry and continuously stirring, and the volume ratio of the rubber powder and the mixed slurry is 1:10, then introducing CO2 gas, and stopping the aeration and stirring when the pH value of the mixed slurry decreases to 7;

[0016] S6, taking out the rubber powder and washing it with anhydrous ethanol for multiple times, and then drying to obtain the modified rubber powder.

[0017] The rubber powder in S2 has no limitation in the amount of mixing, as long as it is completely immersed in saturated lime water; the CO2 gas in S5 is introduced at a speed of 65 L / (h·kg Ca(OH)2).

[0018] Further, the soaking time in S2 is 24 h, and the holding time in S3 is 1 h; the drying in S6 is placed in a 60℃ oven for drying for 5-6 h.

[0019] Further, the particle size range of the high-activity auxiliary cementitious material A is 0.15-3 μm, and the median diameter D 50 is 1.36 μm.

[0020] Further, the particle size range of the high-performance cementitious material B is 3-32 μm, and the median diameter D 50 is 16.78 μm.

[0021] Further, the particle size range of the high-toughness auxiliary cementitious material C is 32-80 μm, and the median diameter D 50 is 48.21 μm.

[0022] Further, the specific surface area of the high-toughness cementitious material is 360-380 m 2 / kg, and the 80 μm square hole screen residue is not more than 5%; the initial setting time is not earlier than 15 min, the final setting time is not later than 45 min; the water requirement is ≤30%, the 28d flexural strength is greater than 9.5 MPa, the 28d compressive strength is greater than 45 MPa, the 90d flexural strength is greater than 15 MPa, the 90d compressive strength is greater than 70 MPa, and the standard mortar flexural-pressure ratio is not less than 0.20.

[0023] Further, the mass percentage of the high-activity auxiliary cementitious material A, the high-performance cementitious material B, and the high-toughness auxiliary cementitious material C is calculated based on the packing model of the Dinge-Funk continuous particle size distribution.

[0024] Further, the calculation formula of the packing model is as follows:

[0025]

[0026] In the formula, U(D P ) is the mass percentage of the particle size D P ; D P is the particle size of the high-activity auxiliary cementitious material A / high-performance cementitious material B / high-toughness auxiliary cementitious material C; D max is the particle size of the largest particle in the system, and the D max value is 80 μm; D min is the particle size of the smallest particle in the system, and the D min0.15 μm; n is a distribution index, and n is 0.24-0.5.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] (1) The present application optimizes the particle size distribution of cement clinker by adding two kinds of auxiliary cementitious materials. As the high-activity auxiliary cementitious material A of finer cement particles (<3 μm), it avoids the problem that the early strength development is too fast to cause the later strength to be reversed, and optimizes the low hydration degree. As the high-toughness auxiliary cementitious material C of coarse cement particles (32-80 μm) which only plays a filling role, it avoids the waste of cement clinker, further reduces the amount of clinker, and saves the cost.

[0029] (2) The present application respectively incorporates two kinds of auxiliary cementitious materials with different particle sizes, i.e. the high-activity auxiliary cementitious material A with superfine particles and the high-toughness auxiliary cementitious material C with large particles. The two materials are synergistic with each other, and realize the synergistic enhancement of strength and toughness from the material itself. This toughening method is different from fiber toughening and polymer toughening.

[0030] (3) The present application divides the cementitious materials into three particle size intervals, and uses the Dinge-Funk continuous particle size distribution packing model to optimize the particle size ratio, so that the cementitious materials reach the closest packing, which not only ensures the compactness of the cement stone structure, but also reduces the water demand of the cementitious materials.

[0031] (4) The present application uses saturated lime water to modify the rubber powder. The calcium hydroxide and hydroxyl ion in the saturated lime water eliminate the zinc stearate on the surface of the rubber, increase the surface roughness of the rubber, and improve the hydrophilicity of the rubber powder. In addition, the Ca(OH)2-CO2 gas-liquid reaction method is used to generate calcium carbonate whiskers on the surface of the rubber powder. Both the rubber powder and the calcium carbonate whiskers can improve the splitting tensile strength of the cement-based material. At the same time, with the increase of the age, the calcium carbonate whiskers will chemically react with the aluminum in the cement to generate calcium aluminate, which can improve the interface performance between the rubber powder and the cement stone, and make the connection between them more compact.
