Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of civil engineering, in particular to earthquake-resistant ready-mixed concrete and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Earthquake-resistant ready-mixed concrete is a type of concrete that is pre-mixed in a factory and transported to the construction site. It is designed to resist the shear and tensile forces caused by earthquakes by improving ductility and strength. In the prior art, common earthquake-resistant ready-mixed concrete includes fiber-reinforced concrete and eco-friendly ductile cement composites.

[0003] The existing seismic premixed concrete technology has the following shortcomings. First, the ductility is fixed and cannot be adjusted dynamically according to the intensity of the earthquake. For example, it may be too soft under low stress and insufficient ductility under high stress, resulting in limited seismic performance. Secondly, the existing technology lacks self-repairing function. Microcracks caused by earthquakes (such as 0.2-0.5 mm in width) cannot be repaired by themselves and require manual maintenance, which increases the cost of use. Moreover, the high temperature resistance is poor. The polymer fiber decomposes after exposure to fire (such as 300 degrees Celsius), resulting in a strength loss of up to 25%, affecting the stability of the structure after the earthquake. In addition, some technologies rely on industrial by-products such as fly ash, the supply of raw materials is limited, and the carbon emissions are high, which is not environmentally friendly. Finally, the preparation process is complicated. For example, spraying requires additional equipment and steps, which is not suitable for large-scale premixed production, affecting construction efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides seismic ready-mixed concrete and a preparation process thereof, which solves the problem that the prior art lacks self-repairing function, and micro cracks (such as 0.2-0.5 mm in width) caused by earthquakes cannot be self-repaired and require manual maintenance, which increases the cost of use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: seismic ready-mixed concrete includes the following components: Ordinary Portland cement; fine and coarse aggregate; water; An adaptive ductile fiber network, wherein the adaptive ductile fiber network is composed of a mixture of shape memory polymer fibers and steel fibers in a mass ratio of 1:1-2:1; Bio-based self-healing microcapsules, the microcapsules comprising microbial spores and a nutrient matrix extracted from biomass; A temperature self-regulating additive, wherein the additive is composed of a mixture of a phase change material microcapsule and a flame retardant in a mass ratio of 2:1-3:1; The adaptive ductile fiber network is oriented and aligned by an electromagnetic field, the bio-based self-repairing microcapsules release repair agents to repair concrete when cracks occur, and the temperature self-regulating additives regulate the internal temperature of concrete at high or low temperatures.

[0006] Preferably, the shape memory polymer fiber has a diameter of 0.1-0.5 mm and a length of 20-50 mm, the steel fiber has a diameter of 0.2-0.8 mm and a length of 25-60 mm, and the addition amount of the adaptive ductile fiber network is 1%-2% of the mass of cement.

[0007] Preferably, the diameter of the bio-based self-repairing microcapsules is 50-100 microns, the shell material is polyurea, the core material includes Bacillus subtilis spores and a nutrient medium extracted from corn syrup waste liquid, and the addition amount of the microcapsules is 0.5%-1% of the cement mass.

[0008] Preferably, the diameter of the phase change material microcapsule is 10-50 microns, the melting point is 40-60 degrees Celsius, the flame retardant is a phosphate flame retardant, and the addition amount of the temperature self-regulating additive is 3%-5% of the mass of cement.

[0009] Preferably, the fine aggregate is sand with a fineness modulus of 2.5-3.0, the coarse aggregate is crushed stone with a particle size of 5-20 mm, and the water-cement ratio is 0.35-0.40.

[0010] Preferably, the preparation process of seismic ready-mixed concrete comprises the following steps: Step 1, preparing ordinary Portland cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, adaptive ductile fiber network, bio-based self-healing microcapsules, temperature self-regulating additives and water in proportion; Step 2, placing cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and adaptive ductile fiber network in a mixing device and dry mixing for 2-3 minutes, while applying an electromagnetic field to align the fibers along the horizontal shear force direction; Step 3, adding water, bio-based self-healing microcapsules and temperature self-regulating additives to the dry mix, and continuing wet mixing for 3-5 minutes to obtain a uniform ready-mixed concrete mixture; Step 4: Transport the mixture to the construction site for pouring and curing.

[0011] Preferably, the intensity of the electromagnetic field is 0.5-1.0 Tesla, and the application time is the entire dry mixing process.

[0012] Preferably, the stirring speed during the wet mixing process is 30-50 rpm to ensure the integrity of the bio-based self-healing microcapsules.

[0013] Preferably, the curing is natural curing, the curing time is 28 days, and the humidity is maintained at ≥ 90% during the curing period.

[0014] Preferably, the concrete has a compressive strength of ≥50 MPa, a ductile elongation of ≥5%, can recover 90% of the original strength within 14 days after a crack with a width of ≤0.5 mm is generated, and has a strength loss of ≤10% after being exposed to a high temperature of 300 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.

[0015] The present invention provides earthquake-resistant ready-mixed concrete and a preparation process thereof, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention adds microcapsules containing Bacillus subtilis spores and corn syrup waste liquid nutrient medium to concrete, so that the concrete has self-repairing ability after cracks with a width of ≤0.5 mm are generated. After the microcapsules are broken, microorganisms use water to generate calcium carbonate to fill the cracks. The compressive strength recovers to 90%-95% of the original value (up to 58.9 MPa) within 14 days. This function can reduce the frequency of structural maintenance after an earthquake and extend the service life. It is suitable for long-term infrastructure such as bridges and tunnels, and the bearing capacity can be restored without external intervention.

[0016] 2. The present invention adopts a fiber network mixed with shape memory polymer fibers and steel fibers, and arranges them in a directional manner through an electromagnetic field, so that the concrete shows adaptability under different stress conditions. The compressive strength is ≥50 MPa at low stress, and the ductility elongation is 5%-7.5% (maximum 7.5%) at high stress. This feature enhances the ability of concrete to resist earthquakes of different intensities. Tests show that high-performance specimens maintain structural integrity in a magnitude 9 earthquake simulation, and are suitable for high-rise buildings and complex load-bearing components.

[0017] 3. The present invention controls the compressive strength loss of concrete after exposure to 300 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes to 5%-10% (minimum 5%) by adding phase change material microcapsules and phosphate flame retardants. The phase change material absorbs heat and the flame retardant inhibits decomposition, keeping the internal temperature below the damage threshold (internal temperature of the highest performance specimen is 80 degrees Celsius). This feature improves the residual strength of concrete in post-earthquake fires and is suitable for urban high-rise buildings and industrial facilities.

[0018] 4. The present invention optimizes high-strength aggregate and fiber network to achieve a compressive strength of 50-62 MPa and a ductility elongation of 5%-7.5%. This performance is achieved by controlling the water-cement ratio (0.35-0.40) and fiber orientation.

[0019] 5. The present invention uses corn syrup waste liquid as the microcapsule nutrient base and part of the recycled aggregate, reducing the amount of chemical additives and carbon emissions by 20%-30%. The environmentally friendly optimized embodiment reduces carbon emissions per cubic meter of concrete by about 25%, while the compressive strength still reaches 58 MPa and the ductility is 6.8%. This feature meets the green building standards and is suitable for resource-saving construction projects.

[0020] 6. The present invention ensures that the fibers, microcapsules and additives are evenly distributed through dry mixing (2-3 minutes) and wet mixing (3-5 minutes). The slump is 100-150 mm. The process uses conventional mixing equipment. The production time of each batch in the standard embodiment is about 8 minutes, which is 15% more efficient than the existing technology that requires spraying. This method is convenient for large-scale production and is suitable for projects such as residential areas. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] Figure 1 The present invention is a flow chart of the preparation process of seismic ready-mixed concrete. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Please see attached Figure 1 The embodiment of the present invention provides seismic ready-mixed concrete, including the following components: Ordinary Portland cement; fine and coarse aggregate; water; An adaptive ductile fiber network, wherein the adaptive ductile fiber network is composed of a mixture of shape memory polymer fibers and steel fibers in a mass ratio of 1:1-2:1; Bio-based self-healing microcapsules, which contain microbial spores and a nutrient matrix extracted from biomass; The temperature self-regulating additive is composed of a mixture of phase change material microcapsules and flame retardants in a mass ratio of 2:1-3:1; The adaptive ductile fiber network is oriented by electromagnetic fields, the bio-based self-healing microcapsules release repair agents to repair concrete when cracks occur, and the temperature self-regulating additives regulate the internal temperature of the concrete at high or low temperatures.

[0024] Specifically, the adaptive ductile fiber network is made of a mixture of shape memory polymer fibers (such as polyurethane-based shape memory polymers, Tg is about 45 degrees Celsius) and high-strength steel fibers (tensile strength ≥ 1200 MPa). The fiber network is oriented by electromagnetic fields to form a three-dimensional mesh structure, which can effectively disperse the horizontal and vertical stresses caused by earthquakes. The bio-based self-repairing microcapsules use Bacillus subtilis spores, which are resistant to high temperatures and alkalis and are suitable for the internal environment of concrete. The nutrient base is made of corn syrup waste liquid through fermentation and concentration, which is rich in glucose and amino acids. It can quickly activate microbial activity when the cracks are exposed to water and generate calcium carbonate to fill the cracks. The phase change material microcapsules in the temperature self-regulating additives use paraffin substances (such as n-eicosane, melting point of about 50 degrees Celsius), which are encapsulated by microencapsulation technology to prevent leakage. The flame retardant uses trimethyl phosphate, which has low toxicity and high-efficiency flame retardant properties. This combination allows concrete to maintain rigidity at room temperature (compressive strength of 55 MPa) and show ductility and durability under extreme conditions such as earthquakes or fires. For example, in a simulated magnitude 9 earthquake test, the specimen deformation rate reached 6.5% without fracture; under 300-degree Celsius flame exposure, the internal temperature only rose to 80 degrees Celsius, and the strength loss was controlled within 8%.

[0025] The diameter of the shape memory polymer fiber is 0.1-0.5 mm and the length is 20-50 mm, the diameter of the steel fiber is 0.2-0.8 mm and the length is 25-60 mm, and the addition amount of the adaptive ductile fiber network is 1%-2% of the cement mass.

[0026] Specifically, the shape memory polymer fiber is made of polyurethane-based material and prepared by melt spinning. The diameter is controlled between 0.1-0.5 mm, preferably 0.3 mm, to take into account the flexibility and dispersibility of the fiber; the length range is 20-50 mm, preferably 30 mm, to ensure the formation of an effective cross-linked network in concrete. The steel fiber is made of cold-drawn steel wire, the surface is phosphated to improve the adhesion with the cement matrix, the diameter range is 0.2-0.8 mm, preferably 0.5 mm, and the length is 25-60 mm, preferably 40 mm, to provide sufficient tensile strength (tests show that the tensile strength of a single fiber is 1300 MPa). The mixing ratio can be adjusted according to the seismic requirements, for example, a 1:1 ratio is used in high seismic intensity areas to enhance ductility, and a 2:1 ratio is used in medium intensity areas to improve rigidity. The addition amount is 1%-2% of the mass of cement, preferably 1.5%, that is, about 6 kg of fiber network is added to each cubic meter of concrete. During implementation, the two fibers were premixed in a dry environment for 30 seconds to avoid entanglement, and then dry-mixed with cement and aggregate to ensure uniform fiber distribution. Tests showed that the crack width of concrete specimens with 1.5% fiber network added under horizontal shear force increased to 0.8 mm, 50% higher than that of ordinary concrete.

[0027] The diameter of the bio-based self-repairing microcapsule is 50-100 microns, the shell material is polyurea, the core material includes Bacillus subtilis spores and a nutrient base extracted from corn syrup waste liquid, and the addition amount of the microcapsule is 0.5%-1% of the cement mass.

[0028] Specifically, the preparation process of bio-based self-healing microcapsules includes the following steps: First, select Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633 spores, and make spore powder by centrifugation and freeze drying, and the spore concentration is controlled at more than 10^9 / gram; the nutrient base is made of corn syrup waste liquid (sugar content ≥40%) after acidification (pH adjusted to 6.5) and concentration, and each gram of nutrient base contains about 0.5 grams of glucose and 0.1 grams of protein. The spores and the nutrient base are mixed in a mass ratio of 1:2, and distilled water is added to form a suspension, and then the microcapsules are prepared by interfacial polymerization. The shell material is polyurea (generated by the reaction of isocyanate and polyamine), and the diameter of the microcapsules is controlled by ultrasonic emulsification to be 50-100 microns, preferably 80 microns, to ensure uniform distribution in the concrete and not easy to break due to stirring. The amount of microcapsules added is 0.5%-1% of the mass of cement, preferably 0.8%, that is, about 3.2 kilograms of microcapsules are added to each cubic meter of concrete. Experimental verification shows that when a 0.3 mm wide crack appears on a specimen and it is exposed to an environment with 80% humidity, the crack filling rate reaches 95% within 14 days, and the compressive strength recovers to 52 MPa, close to the original value (55 MPa). Compared with traditional chemical repair agents, the microcapsules reduce the use of synthetic chemicals by 30% and reduce carbon emissions by about 25%.

[0029] The diameter of the phase change material microcapsule is 10-50 microns, the melting point is 40-60 degrees Celsius, the flame retardant is a phosphate flame retardant, and the added amount of the temperature self-regulating additive is 3%-5% of the cement mass.

[0030] Specifically, in the specific preparation of the temperature self-regulating additive, the phase change material microcapsule uses n-eicosane (melting point 50 degrees Celsius, latent heat value of about 200 kJ / kg), and is encapsulated with urea-formaldehyde resin as the shell material through microencapsulation technology. The diameter is controlled at 10-50 microns, preferably 30 microns, to ensure uniform dispersion in concrete and not affect fluidity. The flame retardant uses trimethyl phosphate (boiling point 197 degrees Celsius, high flame retardant efficiency), which is mixed with the phase change material microcapsule through high-speed stirring, with a ratio of 2:1-3:1, preferably 2.5:1, to ensure the balance between flame retardant effect and heat regulation function. The addition amount is 3%-5% of the mass of cement, preferably 4%, that is, about 16 kg of additives are added to each cubic meter of concrete. During implementation, the additive is premixed with a small amount of water to form a suspension, and then added to the concrete for wet mixing to avoid high temperature from damaging the microcapsule structure. Tests show that after 30 minutes of exposure to a 300-degree Celsius flame, the surface temperature of the specimen containing 4% additives was 250 degrees Celsius, the internal temperature was only 80 degrees Celsius, and the strength loss was 8%; after 50 freeze-thaw cycles at -20 degrees Celsius, the crack incidence rate was reduced to 5%, 80% less than that of ordinary concrete. The additive also significantly improves the residual seismic resistance of concrete after a fire.

[0031] The fine aggregate is sand with a fineness modulus of 2.5-3.0, the coarse aggregate is crushed stone with a particle size of 5-20 mm, and the water-cement ratio is 0.35-0.40.

[0032] Specifically, natural river sand is used as fine aggregate, and the fineness modulus is controlled at 2.5-3.0, preferably 2.8, and the mud content is ≤1%. Excessive particles (>5 mm) are removed by screening to ensure the compactness of the concrete. Basalt crushed stone is used as coarse aggregate, with a particle size range of 5-20 mm, preferably 10-15 mm, and a crushing value of ≤10% to provide high compressive strength and seismic resistance. The mass ratio of fine aggregate to coarse aggregate is 1:1.5-1:2, preferably 1:1.8, and there are about 600 kg of fine aggregate and about 1080 kg of coarse aggregate per cubic meter of concrete. Clean water that meets drinking standards is used, and the water-cement ratio is controlled at 0.35-0.40, preferably 0.38, to balance fluidity (slump of about 120 mm) and strength (28-day compressive strength of 55 MPa). During implementation, the moisture content of the aggregate is first determined and the water consumption is adjusted to ensure the accuracy of the water-cement ratio. For example, in a high humidity environment, if the moisture content of sand reaches 3%, the water consumption per cubic meter can be reduced by about 18 kg. Tests have confirmed that this aggregate ratio and water-cement ratio enable concrete to exhibit excellent shear resistance in earthquake simulations, with shear strength increased by 15%.

[0033] The preparation process of earthquake-resistant ready-mixed concrete comprises the following steps: Step 1, preparing ordinary Portland cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, adaptive ductile fiber network, bio-based self-healing microcapsules, temperature self-regulating additives and water in proportion; Step 2, placing cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and adaptive ductile fiber network in a mixing device and dry mixing for 2-3 minutes, while applying an electromagnetic field to align the fibers along the horizontal shear force direction; Step 3, adding water, bio-based self-healing microcapsules and temperature self-regulating additives to the dry mix, and continuing wet mixing for 3-5 minutes to obtain a uniform ready-mixed concrete mixture; Step 4: Transport the mixture to the construction site for pouring and curing.

[0034] Specifically, in step 1, cement is selected from ordinary Portland cement of grade 42.5, with a dosage of 400-450 kg per cubic meter, preferably 420 kg; fine aggregate and coarse aggregate are prepared according to claim 5; adaptive ductile fiber network, bio-based self-healing microcapsules and temperature self-regulating additives are weighed according to the proportions of claims 2-4. In step 2, a forced mixer (capacity 500 liters) is used, the speed is 30 rpm, the dry mixing time is 2-3 minutes, preferably 2.5 minutes, the electromagnetic field is applied through an external electromagnetic coil, the coil power is 500 watts, the direction of the magnetic field is consistent with the expected shear force of the specimen, and the fiber distribution uniformity after dry mixing is more than 90%. In step 3, water is added twice, first adding 70% water and mixing, and then adding the remaining water, microcapsules and additives, and the wet mixing time is 3-5 minutes, preferably 4 minutes, to ensure that the slump of the mixture is 100-150 mm. In step 4, a mixer truck is used for transportation, and the transportation time is ≤2 hours. The casting is compacted by a vibrating rod, and the curing is carried out at a temperature of 20±2 degrees Celsius and a humidity of 95%. The entire process is tested by on-site sampling to ensure that the compressive strength is ≥50 MPa and the ductility is ≥5%.

[0035] The intensity of the electromagnetic field is 0.5-1.0 Tesla, and the application time is the entire dry mixing process.

[0036] Specifically, the electromagnetic field is applied using a customized electromagnetic device, which includes a pair of parallel electromagnetic coils (50 cm in diameter and 30 cm between coils), installed on the outside of the mixer. After power is turned on, a uniform magnetic field is generated with an intensity range of 0.5-1.0 Tesla, preferably 0.8 Tesla, to effectively guide the fiber orientation. The application time covers the entire dry mixing process (2-3 minutes), and the current is controlled by a frequency converter with a frequency of 50 Hz and a power of about 600 watts. During implementation, the fiber network is arranged in a horizontal direction under the action of the magnetic field, forming a structure similar to a steel mesh, which significantly improves the shear resistance of concrete. Tests show that when the magnetic field strength is 0.8 Tesla, the fiber orientation rate reaches 85% and the shear strength is increased by 20%; if the strength is lower than 0.5 Tesla, the orientation effect is weakened to 60%, and the performance improvement is not significant. To ensure safety, the mixer casing is grounded and the operator wears protective equipment.

[0037] The stirring speed during the wet mixing process is 30-50 rpm to ensure the integrity of the bio-based self-healing microcapsules.

[0038] Specifically, during the wet mixing process, the stirring speed is controlled at 30-50 rpm, preferably 40 rpm, to avoid high-speed stirring (>60 rpm) causing microcapsule rupture. A twin-shaft mixer is used, and the spacing between the stirring blades is adjusted to 5 cm to ensure that the material rolls evenly without excessive shear force. The wet mixing time is 3-5 minutes, preferably 4 minutes. The first 2 minutes are quickly mixed to form a uniform slurry, and the last 2 minutes are slowly stirred to protect the integrity of the microcapsules. During implementation, the breakage rate of the microcapsules is detected by microscope. The breakage rate is ≤5% at 40 rpm, while the breakage rate rises to 15% at 60 rpm, affecting the repair effect. In addition, the inner wall of the mixer is coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating to reduce material adhesion and improve mixing efficiency. Experiments have confirmed that the fluidity of concrete (slump 130 mm) and the activity of microcapsules are both optimal at this speed.

[0039] The maintenance is natural maintenance, the maintenance time is 28 days, and the humidity is maintained at ≥ 90% during the maintenance period.

[0040] Specifically, the maintenance adopts natural maintenance method. After pouring, plastic film is immediately covered to keep the surface moist. The ambient temperature is controlled at 15-25 degrees Celsius, preferably 20 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is ≥90%, preferably 95%, which is achieved by sprinkling water or covering with wet sacks. The maintenance time is 28 days. Water is sprinkled 2-3 times a day in the first 7 days, and the water consumption per square meter each time is about 0.5 liters to ensure sufficient cement hydration; after 21 days, it is reduced to once a day to prevent surface cracking. During implementation, samples are taken every 7 days to test the strength. The compressive strength is about 35 MPa on the 7th day and 55 MPa on the 28th day. Avoid direct sunlight and strong winds during maintenance to protect the stability of microcapsules and phase change materials. Experiments have confirmed that when the humidity is 95%, the activity of the internal repair agent of concrete is increased by 10%, and the strength growth curve is smoother.

[0041] The compressive strength of the concrete shall be ≥50 MPa, the ductility elongation shall be ≥5%, it shall be able to recover 90% of the original strength within 14 days after a crack with a width of ≤0.5 mm occurs, and the strength loss shall be ≤10% after exposure to a high temperature of 300 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.

[0042] Specifically, the performance of the concrete has been verified by a number of experiments: the compressive strength test uses a 100 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm test block, and after 28 days of curing, a universal testing machine is used to measure the average value of 55 MPa, with a standard deviation of ±2 MPa; the ductility elongation is determined by a tensile test, and the elongation reaches 6.2% in a magnitude 9 earthquake simulation, meeting the requirement of ≥5%. In the self-repair ability test, the specimen is artificially made with a 0.5 mm wide crack and placed in an environment with 80% humidity for 14 days. Microscopic observation shows that the crack filling rate is 95%, and the compressive strength is restored to 52 MPa (94% of the original 55 MPa). In the high temperature resistance test, the specimen is exposed to a 300-degree Celsius flame for 30 minutes, with a surface temperature of 250 degrees Celsius and an internal temperature of 80 degrees Celsius. The strength loss is 8%, which is much lower than 30% of ordinary concrete. The freeze-thaw cycle test (-20 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius, 50 times) shows that the crack rate is only 4%, and the durability is significantly better than that of traditional earthquake-resistant concrete. These properties make it suitable for high-rise buildings and extreme environments.

[0061] Test method: Through tensile test or earthquake simulation (such as shaking table test), the ratio of the maximum deformation of the specimen before failure to its original length is measured.

[0062] 5.5%: Moderate ductility, able to withstand certain earthquake deformation but limited.

[0063] 5%-7.5% (the present invention): the lowest 5% (low performance) is close to the prior art, and the highest 7.5% (high performance) is close to the level of steel, indicating the improvement of the seismic toughness of the present invention.
