Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of concrete, and particularly to a device for testing the fluidity performance of self-compacting concrete. Background Art

[0002] Self-compacting concrete (SelfCompactingConcrete or Self-Consolidating Concrete, abbreviated as SCC) refers to concrete that can flow and compact under its own gravity, can completely fill the formwork even in the presence of dense steel bars, and at the same time obtain good homogeneity without additional vibration.

[0003] In order to achieve self-compaction without vibration, the hardened self-compacting concrete needs to have good physical and mechanical properties like normal concrete. The prepared self-compacting concrete must meet the following requirements in the fluid state:

[0004] (1) Appropriate viscosity: After flowing through dense steel bars, it still maintains uniform composition. If the viscosity is too large, the large air bubbles retained in the concrete are not easily excluded; the viscosity is represented by the slump flow of the concrete, and it is required to be in the range of 500 - 700 mm. If the viscosity is too large, that is, the slump flow is less than 500 mm, it will bring certain difficulties in flowing through small gaps and filling the formwork; if the viscosity is too small, that is, the slump flow is greater than 700 mm, segregation is likely to occur.

[0005] (2) Good stability: It does not segregate or bleed before and after pouring, the coarse and fine aggregates are evenly distributed, maintaining the homogeneity of the concrete structure, enabling good bonding between the cement paste and the aggregates, and between the concrete and the steel bars, and maintaining the durability of the concrete.

[0006] Therefore, before use, it is necessary to test the fluidity of the prepared self-compacting concrete. The fluidity test of self-compacting concrete is mainly carried out through the following several methods to ensure that it can fill the formwork and wrap the steel bars under its own gravity without mechanical vibration:

[0007] (1) Slump flow test, used to evaluate the fluidity and filling ability of the concrete;

[0008] (2) J-ring test, testing the ability of self-compacting concrete to pass through the steel bar gap (anti-blocking property);

[0009] (3) L-box test, used to test the fluidity and segregation resistance of self-compacting concrete;

[0010] (4) V-funnel test, used to test the flow rate and anti-blocking property of self-compacting concrete;

[0011] (5) U-box test, used to test the filling ability of self-compacting concrete to pass through dense steel bars;

[0012] In actual testing, the above test methods can be selected according to engineering requirements, and the test results must comply with design specifications (such as EFNARC, ASTM C1611 or EN 12350-8 / 12).

[0013] However, when conducting the above-mentioned tests, since the fluidity test of self-compacting concrete requires a large number of people, the human error is greatly increased, affecting the accuracy of the test results. In order to solve the above problems, the invention patent with application number 202011277730.8 discloses a self-compacting concrete working performance test device and test method. The invention can test the fluidity, filling capacity and anti-blocking of self-compacting concrete by cleverly combining the V-funnel test and the slump expansion test. However, the invention still has the following shortcomings when used: (1) It is impossible to test the anti-segregation ability of self-compacting concrete and its filling capacity through dense steel bars, and the fluidity test results are not comprehensive; (2) When testing the slump expansion test, in order to ensure the slump expansion test, the self-compacting concrete must be tested. In order to fill the slump cone with self-compacting concrete, it is generally necessary to ensure that the self-compacting concrete in the slump cone is filled to a small extent, and then use a scraper to gently level the self-compacting concrete portion that overflows the top of the slump cone, and clean up the excess concrete that overflows to the bottom plate. In this invention, although a receiving tray is used to receive the excess self-compacting concrete flowing out of the V-funnel to avoid excessive self-compacting concrete from being poured into the slump cone, the subsequent operations of leveling the self-compacting concrete portion that overflows the top of the slump cone and cleaning up the excess concrete that overflows to the bottom plate are still relatively troublesome.

The concrete inlet end is located in the storage tank 4, and the concrete outlet end is embedded in the test plate 7, and the outlet end of the pumping system is located inside the slump cone 13. Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 7 shown, the pumping system includes a concrete pump 32 fixedly provided on the support plate 29. The suction port of the concrete pump 32 is connected to one end of a first suction pipe 33. A first solenoid valve 34 is provided on the first suction pipe 33. The other end of the first suction pipe 33 penetrates into the storage tank 4.

[0083] The discharge port of the concrete pump 32 is connected to one end of the pumping pipe 35. The other end of the pumping pipe 35 passes through the test plate 7 and is located inside the slump cone 13. A digital pressure gauge 36, an electric control valve 37, and a check valve 38 are successively arranged on the pumping pipe 35 from bottom to top.

[0084] On the left side of the bottom plate 1, a vertically arranged vertical rod 16 is fixedly provided. On the left side of the vertical rod 16, a handrail 56 and a controller 57 are fixedly provided. The digital pressure gauge 36 is communicatively connected to the controller 57. The controller 57 is electrically connected to the power supply box 41. The controller 57 is control-connected to the first solenoid valve 34, the electric control valve 37, and the concrete pump 32.

[0085] In order to be able to clean the pumping system, the test plate 7, the slump cone 13, and the storage tank 4, as Figure 1 shown, a water tank 5 with an upper opening is formed by enclosing the inner side of the storage tank 4 and the bottom plate 1; the pumping system further includes a second suction pipe 39. One end of the second suction pipe 39 is connected to the first suction pipe 33, and the connection node of the second suction pipe 39 and the first suction pipe 33 is located between the first solenoid valve 34 and the inlet end of the concrete pump 32. A second solenoid valve 40 is provided on the second suction pipe 39. The other end of the second suction pipe 39 is inserted into the water tank 5. The controller 57 is control-connected to the second solenoid valve 40.

[0086] Working principle: When conducting an experiment, first rotate the adjusting leg 3 to lift the first roller 2 off the ground and level the bottom plate 1.

[0087] Then slide the two inserting frames 44 to the left and right sides of the storage tank 4 respectively. Insert the baffle plate 45 into the slot 4401 on the inserting frame 44. Rotate the limiting plate 49 so that the limiting plate 49 presses on the top of the baffle plate 45 to ensure that the baffle plate 45 is in close contact with the inner wall of the storage tank 4, dividing the inner space of the storage tank 4 into two independent spaces by the two baffle plates 45. Fill one of the independent spaces with self-compacting concrete. After standing for 1 minute, rotate the two limiting plates 49 on one of the inserting frames 44 to pull the baffle plate 45 on this inserting frame 44 upward by a certain distance, but still keep the lower end of the baffle plate 45 lower than the upper surface of the self-compacting concrete. Then rotate the two limiting plates 49 and move the two limiting plates 49 to the front and back sides of the baffle plate 45 respectively to clamp and fix the position of the baffle plate 45. After the self-compacting concrete in the storage tank 4 stops flowing, measure the height ratio of the self-compacting concrete in the two independent spaces. If the height ratio H2 / H1 of the self-compacting concrete in the independent space where the concrete flows in later and the independent space where the concrete is initially filled is ≥ 0.8, it indicates that the segregation resistance and fluidity meet the standards. After the test is completed, clean the self-compacting concrete in the storage tank 4.

[0088] Then, reinsert the two baffles 45, place the slump cone 13 at the first magnet block 12 on the test plate 7, place the tray 52 on top of the slump cone 13, and hang the second hanging ring 54 at the lower end of the spring 53 on the third hanging rod 55 on the slump cone 13.

[0089] Then, refill one of the independent spaces in the storage tank 4 with the freshly prepared self-compacting concrete just configured. Start the first solenoid valve 34 and the concrete pump 32 through the controller to start pumping the self-compacting concrete into the slump cone 13. When the self-compacting concrete in the slump cone 13 overflows through the overflow hole 52 into the tray 52, close the first solenoid valve 34 and the concrete pump 32. Clean up the self-compacting concrete that has overflowed in the tray 52, then remove the second hanging ring 54, hold both sides of the tray 52 with both hands, quickly translate it horizontally, and scrape the self-compacting concrete on top of the slump cone 13 flat.

[0090] Then, pull the pull rope 19 to quickly lift the slump cone 13, and then hang the first hanging ring 20 on the second hanging rod 22. When an obstacle appears above the first diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 58, the controller 57 controls the timer to start timing. When an obstacle appears above the second diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 9, the controller 57 controls the timer to stop timing, completing the T50 test. If the time required for the center of the self-compacting concrete to collapse to a diameter of 500 mm ≤ 5 seconds, it is qualified. When the self-compacting concrete on the test plate 7 no longer flows, measure the spread diameter of the self-compacting concrete in two directions respectively in a vertical and horizontal manner. If the spread diameter is in the range of 550 - 850 mm, it is qualified.

[0091] Scrape the self-compacting concrete on the test plate 7 into another independent space in the storage tank 4 that has not been filled with self-compacting concrete. Place the slump cone 13 back on the test plate 7, install the tray 52 on top of the slump cone 13, simultaneously lift the first lifting rod 10 and the second lifting rod 11 through the lifting and pushing device, rotate the moving ring plate 702 on the test plate 7, lower the second lifting rod 11 completely, fix the first lifting rod 10 on the test plate 7 through the base 24 and the second magnet block 704. Through the pumping system, refill the slump cone 13 with the unused self-compacting concrete again, and then repeat the above steps to conduct the J-ring experiment. Compare the spread with that without the J-ring, and the difference should ≤ 25 mm.

[0092] Finally, according to the actual steel bar layout density, you can choose to pull out the second lifting rod 11 and the first lifting rod 10 arbitrarily, arrange the orientation and density of the second lifting rod 11 and the first lifting rod 10, and conduct the experiment again to test whether the self-compacting concrete meets the on-site requirements.

[0093] After the test is completed, place the slump cone 13 back on the test plate 7, open the concrete pump 32 and the second solenoid valve 40, and pump clear water upward. The drum controller adjusts the electric control valve 37 to adjust the water pressure and wash the inner wall of the slump cone 13. The water flowing out of the slump cone 13 washes the self-compacting concrete adhering to the surface of the test plate 7. After the washing, the sewage automatically falls into the storage tank 4. After the sewage dilutes the self-compacting concrete overflowing in the storage tank 4, open the sewage discharge valve 51, and the sewage and the self-compacting concrete are discharged from the sewage pipe 50.
