AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When existing UHPC reinforces old damaged concrete, the difference in cement material leads to insufficient bonding strength, fast condensation speed leads to uneven pouring, and large-sized interfaces are difficult to stir, increasing the difficulty of maintenance.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of UHPC, and in particular to a UHPC for reinforcing old and damaged concrete and a pouring method thereof. Background Art

[0002] UHPC, fully known as ultra-high performance concrete, is an advanced building material with ultra-high strength, high durability and excellent toughness, and is widely used in fields such as bridges, buildings, and marine engineering. In the prior art, there is a situation of using UHPC to reinforce old and damaged concrete. However, due to the large gap between the two cement materials, in the pouring cavity surrounded by the damaged cement, the damaged cement will absorb the moisture in the UHPC, resulting in insufficient bonding strength between the two. After long-term use, the reinforced cement will show phenomena such as delamination or peeling. Moreover, due to the fast setting speed of UHPC, it is impossible to apply stirring and vibration operations during the pouring process of large-sized damaged interfaces, resulting in agglomeration phenomena often occurring before the pouring is completed, leading to uneven stress distribution between the reinforced parts and increasing the maintenance difficulty. Therefore, a UHPC for reinforcing old and damaged concrete and a pouring method thereof are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above deficiencies and provide a UHPC for reinforcing old and damaged concrete and a pouring method thereof, which have the advantages of being more suitable for reinforcing old and damaged concrete and having high tensile strength.

[0004] In the first aspect, the present invention provides a UHPC for reinforcing old and damaged concrete, and its components include, by components: 8-12 parts of portland cement, 2-4 parts of fully encrypted silica fume, 10-12 parts of heavy calcium carbonate, 8-10 parts of quartz sand, 4-6 parts of crushed stone, 0.5-0.7 part of admixture, 3.5-3.7 parts of water, and 1.3-1.5 parts of steel fiber.

[0005] Further, the components of the UHPC include, by components: 10 parts of portland cement, 3 parts of fully encrypted silica fume, 11 parts of heavy calcium carbonate, 9 parts of quartz sand, 5 parts of crushed stone, 0.6 part of admixture, 3.6 parts of water, and 1.4 parts of steel fiber.

[0006] Further, the components of the UHPC further include: 0.2-0.3 part of a slow-release water reducer.

[0007] Further, the slow-release water reducer needs to be pretreated separately before addition. The pretreatment method is to mix it with water to form a solution state, and then inject and fill it into ice cubes with cavities inside for freezing, and then crush the ice cubes to obtain slow-release crushed ice.

[0008] Further, the slow-release water reducer is a polycarboxylate water reducer.

[0009] Furthermore, the particle size of the quartz stone is 65 - 75 mesh.

[0010] Furthermore, the particle size range of the crushed stones is between 5 mm and 10 mm.

[0011] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a pouring method of UHPC for reinforcing old and damaged concrete. Based on the above-mentioned UHPC for reinforcing old and damaged concrete, it specifically includes the following steps:

[0012] S1: Grind the surface of the old and damaged concrete and then roughen it by chiseling.

[0013] S2: Arrange the pouring formwork according to the situation of the part to be reinforced, then wet the cavity formed by the formwork and the old and damaged concrete and lay a layer of slow-release crushed ice.

[0014] S3: After mixing UHPC on-site, alternately pour and fill the slow-release crushed ice and UHPC in the order of slow-release crushed ice layer - UHPC layer - slow-release crushed ice layer - UHPC layer until the cavity formed by the formwork and the old and damaged concrete is filled.

[0015] S4: After pouring, cure its surface until the UHPC reaches 70% of the setting strength and then remove the formwork.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S3, the thickness ratio of the slow-release crushed ice layer to the UHPC layer is controlled at 1∶(5 - 8).

[0017] By adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] The present invention sets crushed stones mixed with portland cement as the reinforcement substrate, reduces the amount of portland cement while ensuring the reinforcement effect, and at the same time sets an appropriate water-cement ratio to slow down its setting speed while ensuring the fluidity and setting strength of UHPC. By setting a water reducer filled in the ice flakes to achieve temperature reduction during the cement setting process, and at the same time slowing down the setting speed of the cement around the damaged concrete to balance its strength after setting.
