Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of concrete technology, and in particular to an energy-saving UHPC concrete and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), as a cement-based composite material, possesses high strength, high toughness, and low porosity. Its mechanical and durability properties far surpass those of ordinary concrete (NSC) and high-performance concrete (HPC), and its compressive and flexural strengths are also excellent. Therefore, it is widely used in various fields such as building construction, bridge engineering, tunnels, and underground engineering. However, UHPC is not without its drawbacks. Due to its low water-cement ratio, high cementitious material content, high content of active mineral admixtures, and low coarse aggregate content, it exhibits significant autogenous shrinkage during setting, hardening, and service life. Autogenous shrinkage accounts for over 80% of the total shrinkage, greatly increasing the risk of early cracking and becoming one of the key technical challenges limiting the further promotion of UHPC in engineering applications. Furthermore, shrinkage cracking allows corrosive ions to penetrate the concrete, significantly reducing its mechanical strength and durability, accelerating corrosion and aging, and leading to premature deterioration and failure of the structure, seriously affecting the practicality and safety of marine infrastructure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems and develop an ultra-high performance concrete with low autogenous shrinkage, low risk of early cracking and good corrosion resistance, this application provides an energy-saving UHPC concrete and its preparation method.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides an energy-saving UHPC concrete, wherein the concrete comprises the following raw materials by weight: 110-150 parts of silicate cement, 18-35 parts of fly ash, 20-30 parts of KH550 modified glass microspheres, 50-75 parts of vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforcement, 20-38 parts of silica fume, 100-175 parts of fine sand, 30-70 parts of steel fiber, 4-9 parts of water-reducing agent, and 25-45 parts of water;

[0005] The vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforcement is prepared by modifying the composite fiber with a vinyl ester resin matrix;

[0006] The preparation method of the vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforcement includes the following steps:

[0007] A1. Mix hydrogen-containing silicone oil and KH560 at a mass ratio of 1:1, add solvent and catalyst and stir to carry out addition reaction to obtain organosilicon for later use.

[0008] A2, the halloysite nanotube is mixed with ethanol, then hydrogen-containing silicone oil and ethyl silicate are added and mixed to obtain modified halloysite nanotubes;

[0009] A3, hydrogen-containing silicone oil and ethyl silicate are mixed, and then added dropwise to the surface of expanded vermiculite, and then expanded in a microwave oven, and then stirred in a mixed solution of KOH and anhydrous ethanol, and then mixed to obtain modified expanded vermiculite;

[0010] A4, a vinyl ester resin emulsion is prepared by mixing vinyl ester resin, peroxide cyclohexanone dibutyl paste and cobalt naphthenate styrene liquid in a weight ratio of 100: (1-3): (0.5-1.5);

[0011] A5, the vinyl ester resin emulsion of step A4, the organic silicon of step A1, the modified halloysite nanotubes of step A2 and the modified expanded vermiculite of step A3 are mixed in a weight ratio of 100: (5-10): (0.5-1): (0.5-1) to obtain a vinyl ester resin matrix;

[0012] A6, the composite fiber is immersed in the vinyl ester resin matrix of step A5, and then subjected to pultrusion, rib forming, curing and cutting to obtain the vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber rib;

[0013] The composite fiber of step A6 is prepared by mixing polypropylene fiber and polyvinyl alcohol fiber in a weight ratio of 1:1.

[0014] By adopting the technical scheme, the energy-saving UHPC concrete provided by the application effectively improves the performance of the concrete by using specific proportions of raw materials and a unique preparation method of the ethenyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber bar. In terms of raw materials, Portland cement, as the main cementitious material, cooperates with fly ash to provide basic strength for the concrete. KH550 modified glass beads can improve the internal structure of the concrete and reduce the risk of shrinkage. Silica fume further fills the pores and enhances the compactness of the concrete. Fine sand, as fine aggregate, together with other ingredients, forms a stable structure. Steel fibers can bridge cracks and transfer stress. The polypropylene fiber and polyvinyl alcohol fiber in the ethenyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber bar bear the tensile force and delay the development of cracks. The ethenyl ester resin matrix modification makes the fiber and the concrete matrix have better adhesion, thereby enhancing the crack resistance. In terms of solving the corrosion of concrete and improving the durability, when preparing the ethenyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber bar, the organic silicon generated by the reaction of hydrogen-containing silicone oil and KH560 in step A1 provides chemical stability and hydrophobicity. The modified halloysite nanotubes in step A2 and the modified expanded vermiculite in step A3 can form a physical barrier and fill the pores to reduce the channel of corrosive media. The emulsion prepared by mixing the ethenyl ester resin, peroxide cyclohexanone dibutyl paste, and cobalt naphthenate styrene liquid in step A4, and the three-dimensional network structure formed by the solidification of the ethenyl ester resin, ensures the solidification by the action of the initiator and the accelerator, and isolates the corrosion of the corrosive medium. At the same time, the water-reducing agent reduces the water-binder ratio and reduces the transmission channel of the corrosive medium, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the fiber reinforced bar and the durability of the concrete. These measures not only significantly improve the compressive strength, flexural strength, and fracture toughness of UHPC, but also effectively reduce the risk of autogenous shrinkage and early cracking, prolong the service life of the concrete, and make it have a wide application prospect in various fields such as building engineering, bridge engineering, tunnel and underground engineering, etc.

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear and explicit, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0041] Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) as a kind of cement-based composite material has the characteristics of high strength, high toughness and low porosity, and its mechanical and durability performance far exceeds that of ordinary concrete (NSC) and high performance concrete (HPC), and the compressive strength and flexural strength are very excellent, so it has a wide application in many fields such as building engineering, bridge engineering, tunnel and underground engineering. But UHPC is not perfect, due to its characteristics of low water-binder ratio, high cementitious material content, high active mineral admixture content and low coarse aggregate content, there is a large self-shrinkage during setting and hardening and service period, and the self-shrinkage accounts for more than 80% of the total shrinkage, which greatly increases the possibility of early cracking, and becomes one of the key technical problems limiting the further promotion of UHPC in engineering application. In addition, the shrinkage cracking of concrete allows the penetration of corrosive ions into the interior, significantly reduces the mechanical strength and durability of concrete, accelerates the corrosion and aging of concrete structure, causes the premature deterioration and damage of building structure, and seriously affects the practicability and safety of marine infrastructure. Therefore, in order to solve at least one of the above technical problems, the present application develops a kind of ultra-high performance concrete with small self-shrinkage, low early cracking risk and good corrosion resistance, and provides a kind of energy-saving UHPC concrete and a preparation method thereof. In the first aspect, the application provides an energy-saving UHPC concrete, the concrete comprises the following raw materials by weight: Portland cement 110-150 parts, fly ash 18-35 parts, KH550 modified glass microbeads 20-30 parts, ethylene ester resin matrix modified composite fiber bar 50-75 parts, silica fume 20-38 parts, fine sand 100-175 parts, steel fiber 30-70 parts, water reducing agent 4-9 parts, and water 25-45 parts. The ethylene ester resin matrix modified composite fiber bar is modified by ethylene ester resin matrix on composite fiber.

The energy-saving UHPC concrete provided by the present application effectively improves the performance of the concrete by using specific proportions of raw materials and a unique preparation method of the vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber rod. In terms of raw materials, Portland cement, as the main cementitious material, cooperates with fly ash to provide basic strength for the concrete. KH550 modified glass beads can improve the internal structure of the concrete and reduce the risk of shrinkage. Silica fume further fills the pores and enhances the density of the concrete. Fine sand, as fine aggregate, together with other ingredients, forms a stable structure. Steel fibers can bridge cracks and transfer stress. The polypropylene fibers and polyvinyl alcohol fibers in the vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber rod bear the tensile force and delay the development of cracks. The vinyl ester resin matrix modification makes the fibers and the concrete matrix have better adhesion, enhancing the crack resistance. In terms of solving the corrosion of fiber reinforced bars and improving durability, the silicone generated by the reaction of hydrogen-containing silicone oil and KH560 in step A1 provides chemical stability and hydrophobicity. The modified halloysite nanotubes in step A2 and the modified expanded vermiculite in step A3 can form a physical barrier and fill the pores to reduce the channels of corrosive media.

[0061] S2, mixing and stirring the Portland cement, fly ash, KH550 modified glass beads, silica fume, fine sand and 75% of water to obtain a first mixture;

[0062] S3, adding the remaining water and water reducing agent into the mixture of step S2 to obtain a second mixture;

[0064] S5, fixing the vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforcement in the mold, pouring the third mixture described in step S4 into the mold, vibrating and compacting, and curing and forming under the set conditions to obtain the energy-saving UHPC concrete. The preparation method provided in the application ensures uniform mixing and sufficient reaction of the raw materials, forming a dense and uniform concrete structure. This preparation method not only improves the compressive strength, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the concrete, but also significantly reduces the risk of self-shrinkage and early cracking, and improves the corrosion resistance and durability of the concrete. Specifically, the addition of KH550 modified glass microbeads and the vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforcement optimizes the microstructure of the concrete, reduces the generation of micro-defects, and improves the density and crack resistance of the concrete. The vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforcement forms an effective three-dimensional network structure in the concrete, enhancing the compressive strength of the concrete and reducing the early shrinkage rate and cracking. At the same time, the use of water reducing agent reduces the water-binder ratio, reduces the transmission channel of corrosive media, and further improves the corrosion resistance of the concrete. These measures effectively solve the problems of large self-shrinkage and high risk of early cracking of UHPC during setting and hardening and service, prolong the service life of the concrete, and make it have a wider application prospect in various fields such as building engineering, bridge engineering, tunnel and underground engineering.

[0127] Controlled concrete (reference concrete): The controlled concrete is a concrete that does not add composite fiber reinforced bars modified by a vinyl ester resin matrix in the preparation of the energy-saving UHPC concrete.

[0128] Experimental detection:

[0129] Compressive strength test: The test is carried out in accordance with GB / T 17671-2021.

[0130] Shrinkage test: The shrinkage test is carried out in accordance with GB / T 50082-2009 "Standard for Testing Methods for Long-term Performance and Durability of Ordinary Concrete" (the concrete sample is wrapped with cling film on the surface, and then wrapped and sealed with self-adhesive aluminum foil, and the sealed test piece is placed in an environment with a temperature of 20±1℃ and a relative humidity of 95% for curing for 28 days).

[0131] Cracking resistance test: According to Appendix A in T / CECS10001-2017 "Anti-cracking and Anti-permeability composite materials for concrete", the crack reduction coefficient in the early cracking performance of the concrete is determined; wherein the tested concrete is the concrete sample prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6.

[0132] Corrosion resistance coefficient: refer to GB / T50082 concrete durability test method, the prepared concrete test block: 100x100x100mm 3 After 28 days of curing at 20±2°C, 95% humidity standard conditions, immerse in the simulated natural saline water composite salt water prepared by 1000ml pure water, add 30g of anhydrous sodium sulfate, 1.65g of sodium chloride and 17.6g of magnesium chloride heptahydrate for 6 hours, and then dry for 4 hours as a cycle. The ratio of the compressive strength after 100 cycles to the compressive strength before durability test. Specifically, before the durability test (i.e. after 28 days of curing), the initial compressive strength of the concrete test block is measured, denoted as R0. After 100 corrosion cycles, the compressive strength of the concrete test block is measured again, denoted as Rf. The corrosion resistance coefficient K is calculated as follows: K = Rf / R0

[0133] The experimental test results of examples 1-4 and comparative examples 1-6 are shown in Table 1.

[0134] Table 1- Experimental test results of examples 1-4 and comparative examples 1-6

[0135]

[0136] Result analysis: the difference between examples 2-4 and example 1 is that the total weight of KH550 modified glass beads and vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforcement remains unchanged when preparing energy-saving UHPC concrete, but the weight ratio between the two changes. According to the experimental test results in Table 1, when the weight ratio of KH550 modified glass beads and vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforcement is 1:2.5, the prepared energy-saving UHPC concrete exhibits higher compressive strength, lower shrinkage and better corrosion resistance.

[0137] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that, in the preparation of energy-saving UHPC concrete, an equal amount of KH550 modified glass microbeads is used to replace the vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber bar. The results show that, although the concrete has a certain compressive strength, the shrinkage rate is high and the corrosion resistance is poor. The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that, in the preparation of energy-saving UHPC concrete, an equal amount of vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber bar is used to replace KH550 modified glass microbeads. The results show that, although the concrete has a certain compressive strength, the shrinkage rate and corrosion resistance are not as good as Example 1. According to the experimental detection data of Comparative Examples 1-2 and Example 1, when KH550 modified glass microbeads and vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber bar are used together, the compressive strength of energy-saving UHPC concrete can be significantly improved, the shrinkage rate can be reduced, and the corrosion resistance can be enhanced, making it have a wider application prospect in various fields such as building engineering, bridge engineering, tunnel and underground engineering. The reason is that KH550 modified glass microbeads can optimize the microstructure of concrete, reduce the shrinkage risk, and improve the compactness; while the vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber bar can significantly enhance the mechanical properties and crack resistance of concrete through its three-dimensional network structure and excellent bonding performance, and provide additional corrosion resistance. The use of these two materials together achieves a complementary effect, which comprehensively improves the overall performance of the concrete.

[0138] The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that, in the preparation of energy-saving UHPC concrete, an equal amount of composite fiber is used to replace the vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber bar. According to the experimental detection results in Table 1, when unmodified composite fiber is used to prepare UHPC concrete, the concrete will have a high shrinkage rate and poor corrosion resistance, and the improvement of compressive strength is not significant. The reason is that unmodified composite fiber has poor dispersibility and interfacial compatibility in concrete, which cannot form a good bond with the concrete matrix, thereby affecting the overall performance of the concrete. Specifically, unmodified composite fiber is not uniformly dispersed in concrete, which can easily form local aggregation, leading to uneven stress distribution in the concrete, increasing the risk of self-shrinkage and early cracking. At the same time, the surface activity of unmodified composite fiber is low, which cannot effectively form a physical barrier to reduce the penetration of corrosive media, resulting in a decrease in the corrosion resistance of the concrete. In addition, the interfacial bonding force between unmodified composite fiber and the concrete matrix is weak, which cannot effectively transfer stress, thereby limiting the improvement of the compressive strength of the concrete. In contrast, the vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber bar, through the modification treatment of vinyl ester resin, significantly improves the interfacial bonding force between the fiber and the concrete matrix, optimizes the microstructure of the concrete, thereby significantly improving the compressive strength of the concrete, reducing the shrinkage rate and enhancing the corrosion resistance.

[0139] Comparative Example 4 differs from Example 1 in that polypropylene fibers are used instead of composite fibers in the preparation of energy-saving UHPC concrete; Comparative Example 5 differs from Example 1 in that polyvinyl alcohol fibers are used instead of composite fibers. According to the experimental test results of Table 1 and Comparative Examples 4-5, when polypropylene fibers and polyvinyl alcohol fibers are used together in the preparation of energy-saving UHPC concrete, the comprehensive performance of the energy-saving UHPC concrete can be significantly improved. The reason is that polypropylene fibers have high tensile strength and good dispersibility, which can form an effective stress transfer network in the concrete to improve the compressive strength of the concrete; and polyvinyl alcohol fibers have good toughness and adhesion, which can effectively inhibit the expansion of cracks and improve the crack resistance and impermeability of the concrete. The complementary advantages of the two fibers not only significantly improve the mechanical properties of the concrete, but also effectively reduce the shrinkage of the concrete, reduce the risk of self-shrinkage and early cracking, and enhance the corrosion resistance of the concrete, making it have a wider application prospect in various fields such as building engineering, bridge engineering, tunnel and underground engineering.

[0140] Comparative Example 6 differs from Example 1 in that unmodified glass microbeads are used instead of KH550 modified glass microbeads in the preparation of energy-saving UHPC concrete. According to the experimental test results of Table 1, when unmodified glass microbeads are used, the compressive strength of the concrete is reduced to some extent, and the shrinkage is relatively high. The reason may be that the dispersibility and interfacial compatibility of unmodified glass microbeads in the concrete are poor, which cannot effectively improve the internal structure and micro-pore distribution of the concrete, thereby affecting the compactness and mechanical properties of the concrete. In addition, the surface activity of unmodified glass microbeads is low, which cannot effectively reduce the self-shrinkage of the concrete, resulting in more micro-cracks in the concrete during the hardening process, increasing the shrinkage. In contrast, KH550 modified glass microbeads improve the interfacial bonding between the concrete matrix and the microbeads through surface modification, optimize the microstructure of the concrete, and significantly improve the compressive strength and crack resistance of the concrete, thereby reducing the shrinkage. These improvements make the energy-saving UHPC concrete have better comprehensive performance and longer service life in practical applications.

[0141] Examples 5-6

[0142] Examples 5-6 differ from Example 1 in that the weight fractions of some components are different in the preparation of energy-saving UHPC concrete, see Table 2 for the difference.

[0146] Table 3 - Experimental test results table of Example 5-6

[0147]

[0148] Result analysis: The difference between Example 5-6 and Example 1 is that the weight fractions of some components are different when preparing energy-saving UHPC concrete. According to the experimental test results in Table 3, the comprehensive performance of the energy-saving UHPC concrete prepared from Example 5 is better.

[0149] Example 7

[0150] The difference between Example 7-11 and Example 5 is that, on the premise that the weight ratio of KH550 modified glass beads and vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforced bars is 1:2.5, the total weight of KH550 modified glass beads and vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforced bars in the energy-saving UHPC concrete is changed, and the better weight ratio is selected.

[0151] In Example 5, the total weight of KH550 modified glass beads and vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforced bars is 95 parts, and the total weight of energy-saving UHPC concrete is 526 parts.

[0152] Therefore, it is not difficult to conclude that in Example 5, the proportion of KH550 modified glass beads (referred to as variable 1) and vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforced bars (referred to as variable 2) in energy-saving UHPC concrete (referred to as matrix) is 18.63%.

[0153] The difference between Example 7-11 and Example 5 is shown in Table 4.

[0154] Proportion = (variable 1 + variable 2) / total weight of matrix * 100%.

[0158] Table 5 - Experimental test results table of Example 7-11

[0159]

[0160] Result analysis: the difference between examples 7-11 and example 5 is that the total weight of KH550 modified glass beads and vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforcement in the energy-saving UHPC concrete is different. According to the experimental test results in table 5, when the total weight of KH550 modified glass beads and vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforcement in the energy-saving UHPC concrete is 19-24.94%, the comprehensive performance of the prepared energy-saving UHPC concrete is better, and when the total weight of KH550 modified glass beads and vinyl ester resin matrix modified composite fiber reinforcement in the energy-saving UHPC concrete is 20.92%, the comprehensive performance of the prepared energy-saving UHPC concrete is best. When the proportion is too high or too low, the comprehensive performance decreases.
