The fiber content includes polyethylene fiber and basalt fiber. The polyethylene fiber content is 0.5% to 1.5%, and the basalt fiber content is 0.6% to 1.8%.
[0026] The response surface model equation in S3 is:
[0027] Y1=+105.19-8.74*A-0.51*B-0.005*C+2.44*AB-7.12AC-
[0028] 0.97*BC+1.72*A 2 -34.02*B 2 +0.28*C 2
[0029] Y2=+23.12+0.44*A-1.11*B+2.75C-1.40*AB+1.53*AC-1.42*BC+

[0031] Y3=+103.69+3.14*A-0.29*B+13.20*C-5.43*AB+16.71*AC-
[0032] 1.47*BC-17.35*A 2 -12.31*B 2 -39.92*C 2
[0033] Among them: Y1 is compressive strength, Y2 is flexural strength, Y3 is equivalent bending toughness, A is water-binder ratio, B is sand-binder ratio, and C is basalt fiber content.
[0034] A method for preparing a high-ductility cement-based composite material, comprising: M1, adding a portion of mixing water, a cementitious material, and an admixture to a mixer, and stirring at a low speed for 1-3 minutes; M2, adding polyethylene fiber and basalt fiber, and stirring at a high speed for 1-3 minutes; M3, adding reserved mixing water, and further stirring at a high speed for 1-3 minutes;
[0035] M4. Cast the mixed composite material into a mold, vibrate for 30-90 seconds, and then smooth it into shape to obtain a mixed fiber high-ductility cement-based composite material. The water-to-material ratio of the partial mixing water and the reserved mixing water is 0.2-0.3.
[0036] In order to make the present invention easier to understand, the following is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0037] Using the Box-Behnken approach in the response surface methodology, a three-factor, three-response experiment was designed with PE as the primary fiber. The three independent variables were the water-binder ratio (A), the sand-binder ratio (B), and the BF dosage (C), and the three responses were the compressive strength (Y1), the flexural strength (Y2), and the equivalent flexural toughness (Y3). The independent variables were coded as -1, 0, and 1, with the water-binder ratio ranged from 0.15 to 0.25, the sand-binder ratio ranged from 0.3 to 0.4, and the BF dosage ranged from 0.9% to 1.5%. The details are shown in Table 1.
[0038]
[0039] Table 1
[0040] The specific materials are mixed in proportions by weight. Mix ratio 1: approximately 30 parts of silicate cement, approximately 24 parts of fly ash, approximately 6 parts of silica fume, approximately 21 parts of 70-100 mesh quartz sand, approximately 15 parts of water, approximately 0.7 parts of water reducer, approximately 0.01 parts of thickener, approximately 0.5 parts of polyethylene fiber and 1.7 parts of basalt fiber.
[0041] Mix ratio 2: 30 parts of Portland cement, 24 parts of fly ash, 6 parts of silica fume, 21 parts of 70-100 mesh quartz sand, 15 parts of water, 0.7 parts of water reducer, 0.01 parts of thickener, 0.5 parts of polyethylene fiber and 1.02 parts of basalt fiber.
[0042] Mix ratio three: 30 parts of Portland cement, 24 parts of fly ash, 6 parts of silica fume, 21 parts of 70-100 mesh quartz sand, 9 parts of water, 0.7 parts of water reducer, 0.01 parts of thickener, 0.5 parts of polyethylene fiber and 1.7 parts of basalt fiber.
[0043] Each mix ratio was prepared separately. A portion of the mixing water, cementitious materials, and admixtures were added to a mixer and stirred at low speed for 2 minutes, with a water-to-cement ratio of 0.27. Polyethylene and basalt fiber were then added and stirred at high speed for 2 minutes. The reserved mixing water was then added and stirred at high speed for 2 minutes. After this stage, the prepared composite material was cast in a mold and compacted using a layered vibration method, with each layer vibrated on a vibrating table for 60 seconds. The resulting material was then smoothed and formed to produce a highly ductile cementitious composite material.
[0044] The response surface model equation established was verified by variance analysis. The F value of the model was 124.13, with a probability of P < 0.0001 < 0.05. The model was extremely significant at the 95% confidence level (CL), and the F value of the lack-of-fit term was 2.97, with a probability of P = 0.16 > 0.05. As shown in Table 2, it can well describe the relationship between the response and the factors, and the experimental results are accurately fitted with the model.
[0045]
[0046] Table 2
[0047] The high ductility cement-based composite material obtained according to the above mix ratio and preparation method is cured for 28 days and its compressive strength Y1 is tested:
[0048] like Figure 1As shown, the highest value is 120.65 MPa. This mix has the lowest water-binder ratio and the highest basalt fiber content in the design, at 0.15 and 1.5%, respectively. The material has low internal porosity and is relatively dense. The lowest compressive strength is 60.64 MPa. This mix has the highest water-binder ratio and the lowest sand-binder ratio, at 0.25 and 0.3, respectively, and a fiber content of 1.2%. In comparison, the material has a more dispersed internal packing, resulting in lower compressive strength.
[0049] As shown in Table 2, the F value of the model is 124.13, with a probability of P < 0.0001 < 0.05, indicating that the model is extremely significant at the 95% confidence level (CL), and the F value of the lack-of-fit term is 2.97, with a probability of P = 0.16 > 0.05. The corresponding experimental data is not significant when they are unrelated to the model, indicating that the model error is small.
[0050] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, under the same A, as B increases from 0.3 to 0.4, the compressive strength shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, which plays a controlling role in the compressive strength. When B is 0.35, it is easier to obtain higher compressive strength. The response surface diagram is obviously warped. In the joint effect of BC on the compressive strength, C has a weaker control over the compressive strength. At this time, the main factor affecting the compressive strength is B.
[0051] The high ductility cement-based composite material obtained according to the above mix ratio and preparation method was tested for its flexural strength Y2 after 28 days of curing:
[0052] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the flexural strength ranges from 17.1 to 28.6 MPa, with the highest flexural strength reaching 28.6 MPa. This mix has the highest water-binder ratio, the lowest sand-binder ratio, and a moderate fiber content. Increasing the fiber content from 0.9% to 1.5% increases the flexural strength by 14.2%.
[0053] As shown in Table 3, the F-value of the flexural strength model is 54.95, with a probability of P < 0.0001 < 0.05, indicating that the model is extremely significant at the 95% confidence level. The F-value of the lack-of-fit term is 3.57, with a probability of P = 0.1255 > 0.05, indicating that the lack-of-fit term is not significant and the model error is small.
[0054]
[0055] Table 3
[0056] like Figure 4As shown in the figure, the response surface of the interaction relationship between BC is obviously warped. When B remains fixed, the content of C has a significant effect on the flexural strength. With the increase of the content of C, the flexural strength shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. In the influence of the interaction between BC on the flexural strength, controlling the content of C at 1.1%-1.3% can easily achieve higher flexural strength.
[0057] The high ductility cement-based composite material obtained according to the above mix ratio and preparation method was tested for its equivalent bending toughness Y3 after 28 days of curing:
[0058] As shown in Table 4, the F value of the equivalent bending toughness model is 91.1, with a probability of P < 0.0001 < 0.05, and the F value of the lack-of-fit term is 3.88, with a probability of P = 0.1117 > 0.05. The experimental results and the model fit are highly accurate.
[0059]
[0060] Table 4
[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the equivalent bending strength ranges from 22.81 to 106.39 KJ / m 3 , the mix M15 has the best performance in absorbing energy during the stress process. The mix has moderate water-binder ratio, sand-binder ratio and BF content in the design, which are 0.2, 0.35 and 1.2% respectively.
[0062] like Figure 6 As shown in the figure, in the interaction of two factors AB, when one of the factors is fixed, the bending toughness shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase of the other factor, indicating that there is a good interaction between the two factors. When the water-binder ratio is 0.2 and the mortar-sand ratio is 0.35, the equivalent bending toughness is the largest.
