Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of building materials, and particularly relates to a crack-resistant and rebound-reducing shotcrete for tunnels and its preparation and use methods. Background Art

[0002] During the tunnel construction process, in order to prevent dangerous situations such as surrounding rock loosening, shotcrete is needed to support the surrounding rock.

[0003] In recent years, with the expansion of highway and railway construction into mountainous areas, plateaus and other places, tunnels have gradually developed in the direction of deep burial and long length, but this has led to a series of problems such as extreme heat and humidity, and the maximum rock temperature in the tunnel can reach up to 80°C. After the tunnel is excavated, due to the influence of a large temperature difference, the shotcrete is extremely prone to shrinkage cracking; in addition, due to the use of spraying technology, the rebound rate of the shotcrete during the construction process is high, resulting in a large amount of waste. Based on this, those skilled in the art need a tunnel shotcrete with high crack resistance and low rebound characteristics. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a crack-resistant and rebound-reducing shotcrete for tunnels and its preparation and use methods according to the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art. The crack-resistant and rebound-reducing shotcrete for tunnels significantly enhances the performance of the tunnel shotcrete in resisting cracking and rebound through the formation of a gel network and the in-situ strengthening effect of nanomaterials by the crack-resistant component and the rebound-reducing component.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions: A crack-resistant and rebound-reducing shotcrete for tunnels, the shotcrete for tunnels comprises the following components in parts by mass: 135 - 195 parts of water, 300 - 350 parts of Portland cement with a strength grade not lower than 42.5, 50 - 100 parts of Class F Grade I fly ash, 815 - 905 parts of manufactured sand with a fineness modulus of 2.5 - 2.8, 855 - 925 parts of 5 - 10 mm continuously graded crushed stone, 2 - 4 parts of polycarboxylate-based water reducer with a water reduction rate greater than 25%, 13 - 22 parts of alkali-free accelerator, 5 - 8 parts of crack-resistant component, 3 - 5 parts of rebound-reducing component; wherein, the crack-resistant component is a composition of sodium alginate and nano-silica, and the rebound-reducing component is a composition of nanocrystalline cellulose, Ti2C, methyl pentanol and fatty acid polyethylene glycol ester.

[0006] The mass ratio of sodium alginate to nano-silica in the crack-resistant component is 1:1.

[0007] The mass ratio of nanocrystalline cellulose, Ti2C, methyl pentanol and fatty acid polyethylene glycol ester in the rebound-reducing component is 2:1:0.1:0.1.

[0008] The alkali-free accelerating agent is a composition of aluminum sulfate and organic amine, and the mass ratio of aluminum sulfate to organic amine is 65:8.

[0009] A preparation and use method of any of the crack-resistant and rebound-reducing tunnel shotcrete involves the following steps: S1: Weigh water and the rebound-reducing component by mass, pour the rebound-reducing component into the water, place a 40 kHz ultrasonic vibrator into the water, and ultrasonically vibrate for 15 minutes to obtain dispersion liquid I. S2: Weigh the polycarboxylate superplasticizer by mass and place it into dispersion liquid I, and continue to ultrasonically vibrate for 10 minutes to obtain dispersion liquid II. S3: Weigh Portland cement, fly ash, and the crack-resistant component by mass, and then place them into a mixer and stir for 5 minutes. S4: Weigh manufactured sand and crushed stone by mass, place them into the mixer in step S3, and continue to stir for 3 minutes. S5: Pour the dispersion liquid II obtained in step S2 into the mixer and continue to stir for 5 minutes to prepare the shotcrete mixture. S6: During use, send the shotcrete mixture to the nozzle through a delivery pipe, and add an alkali-free accelerating agent at the nozzle to form shotcrete and spray it onto the construction surface.

[0010] The advantages of the present invention are: (1) Using sodium alginate and nano-silica as crack-resistant agent components, sodium alginate will form a cross-linked network gel in cement, which can significantly resist the shrinkage after the hardening of concrete; nano-silica has the effect of improving the tensile strength of concrete and can resist higher tensile stress to inhibit the generation of cracks; the dual effects of sodium alginate and nano-silica make the shotcrete have higher crack-resistant performance.

[0011] (2) Using nanocrystalline cellulose and Ti2C as the rebound-reducing components, nanocrystalline cellulose is a nanofibrous material, which can effectively connect the products microscopically and prevent shedding; Ti2C is an accordion-shaped nanoparticle material, which can adjust the viscosity of concrete; both materials start from the micro-structure of the material to solve the problem of shotcrete rebound. Under the combined action of the two, the rebound rate of the shotcrete is significantly reduced. Specific embodiments
