Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of concrete, and in particular relates to an alkali-activated green ultra-high performance concrete and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a new type of high-performance cement-based composite material with ultra-high strength (>120MPa), high toughness, excellent durability and long-term stability. It is widely used in civil engineering. However, due to the fact that UHPC does not contain coarse aggregate, has a low water-cement ratio and a fast hydration reaction rate, while having excellent material properties, it is prone to problems such as high hydration heat and shrinkage cracking, which limits its large-scale promotion. The amount of cementitious material in UHPC is as high as 1200kg / m 3 The cement consumption is 900-1100 kg / m 3 , which is about three times that of ordinary concrete, but its cement hydration degree is only about 40%, and most of the cement is filled in the UHPC as expensive filler. Research data shows that the production of one ton of Portland cement releases about 0.82 tons of CO2, and the annual production of Portland cement produces 74-81% of the global CO2 emissions, which is equivalent to about 3.24 billion tons of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere each year. The high use of cement has caused resource waste and high carbon emissions. Therefore, how to reduce the amount of cement used in the UHPC preparation process is of great significance to reducing resource waste and achieving green and low-carbon. Summary of the invention
