Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of building materials, and particularly relates to an ultra-high performance concrete and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ultra-high performance concrete, in English, is Ultra-High Performance Concrete, for short, UHPC, which is a new type of cement-based structural engineering material with clear performance indicators, new constitutive relations and structural life. Based on particle size design and particle distribution design, UHPC has higher compactness and fewer micro-defects compared with ordinary concrete. The "ultra-high performance" can be summarized as the following four points: ultra-high mechanical performance, ultra-high structural performance, ultra-high durability performance and ultra-high work performance.

[0003] However, due to the characteristics of large dosage of UHPC cementitious materials and high hydration heat, there are great limitations in large volume structures. On the one hand, UHPC is accompanied by large shrinkage during hardening and service after hardening, and the risk of early cracking is high; on the other hand, the temperature rises too fast in a short time, and the internal and external temperature difference is too large, which is easy to cause temperature difference cracks or temperature shrinkage effect of UHPC.

[0004] In view of this, the application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the application is to provide a brand new ultra-high performance concrete and a preparation method. Through the synergistic effect of three materials of functional composite admixture, composite fiber and water storage phase change resin, the shortcomings brought by the addition of a single material are made up. In the reasonable material ratio and preparation process, the ultra-high performance concrete with low hydration heat, low shrinkage and internal curing is prepared, and then it is suitable for the field of mass concrete.

[0006] Specifically, the application provides the following technical scheme:

[0007] An ultra-high performance concrete, the preparation raw materials of which comprise cement, fly ash, silica fume, functional composite admixture, composite fiber, water storage phase change resin, graded quartz sand, water reducing agent and water;

[0008] The functional composite admixture comprises phosphorous slag powder and magnesium slag powder.

[0009] The composite fiber comprises high-strength polypropylene fiber and steel fiber.

[0010] The preparation method of the water storage phase change resin comprises the following steps:

[0011] S1, a cross-linked hydroxyethyl cellulose grafted acrylamide polymer resin is immersed in water to obtain a water storage resin;

[0012] S2, heating the phase change paint to a liquid state;

[0013] S3, immersing the water storage resin surface obtained in S1 in a layer of liquid phase change paint, standing and cooling for a period of time to obtain a water storage phase change resin.

[0014] In the present application, the high-strength polypropylene fiber refers to a polypropylene fiber with a breaking strength of ≥6.0 cN / dtex and an elongation at break of <30%.

[0015] As a preferred, the preparation raw materials include, by weight: cement 350-380 parts, fly ash 130-150 parts, silica ash 140-170 parts, functional composite admixture 390-440 parts, composite fiber 100-140 parts, water storage phase change resin 10-15 parts, graded quartz sand 990-1060 parts, water reducing agent 15-19 parts, and water 155-165 parts.

[0016] As a preferred, the mass ratio of phosphorus slag powder and magnesium slag powder in the functional composite admixture is 3.5-4.5:1. Research has found that if the mass ratio of phosphorus slag powder and magnesium slag powder is too high, there are disadvantages of long concrete setting time and low early strength; if the mass ratio is too low, the performance advantage of low hydration heat cannot be achieved.

[0017] Further preferably, the phosphorus slag powder is L95 grade, and the specific surface area is not less than 450 m 2 / kg, and the content of phosphorus pentoxide in the phosphorus slag powder is 2.5-3.5 wt%;

[0018] The content of dicalcium silicate in the magnesium slag powder is not less than 90 wt%, and the content of magnesium oxide is not less than 5 wt%.

[0019] As a preferred, the mass ratio of high-strength polypropylene fiber and steel fiber in the composite fiber is 1:16-19.

[0020] Further preferably, the steel fiber is an end-hook-shaped steel fiber, and the surface is roughened by high manganic acid or high chloric acid.

[0021] As a preferred, in S2, the heating temperature for heating the phase change paint to a liquid state is 70-80℃, and the heating time is 25-30 min;

[0022] In S3, the temperature for standing and cooling is room temperature, and the time is 3-4 h.

[0023] As a preferred, the graded quartz sand is four-grade quartz sand, and the specific ratio is 18-26 mesh quartz sand: 26-44 mesh quartz sand: 44-90 mesh quartz sand: 90-150 mesh quartz sand = 2.5-3.5:1.5-2.5:2.5-3.5:1.5-2.5. In the present application, the above graded quartz sand can make the ultra-high performance concrete tightly packed.

[0024] The application also provides a preparation method of the super high performance concrete.

[0025] (1) mixing and stirring cement, fly ash, silica fume and functional composite admixture for a period of time to obtain dry mixture;

[0026] (2) adding graded quartz sand, water reducing agent and water to the dry mixture and stirring for a period of time to obtain first slurry;

[0027] (3) adding composite fiber to the first slurry and stirring for a period of time to obtain second slurry;

[0028] (4) adding water storage phase change resin to the second slurry and stirring for a period of time to obtain third slurry;

[0029] (5) pouring the third slurry into a mold for curing, and surrounding the mold with thermal insulation material for insulation;

[0030] (6) removing the thermal insulation material after curing for 21-23 days, continuing to cure for 5-7 days and then removing the mold to obtain the super high performance concrete.

[0031] Preferably, in step (5), the thermal insulation material is an organic thermal insulation material with a thermal conductivity of ≤0.05 W / m·K.

[0032] The specific feeding sequence described above is adopted in the preparation, which can ensure the uniform distribution of the composite fiber and the water storage phase change resin in the concrete and fully play their roles.

[0033] The application has the following advantages:

[0034] (1) the functional composite admixture is used to reduce early hydration heat and control early shrinkage of cement stone matrix;

[0035] (2) the addition of the composite fiber improves the bonding capacity between the cement stone matrix and the aggregate, solves the problem of weak interface transition zone between the early cement stone matrix and the aggregate caused by the functional composite admixture, and reduces temperature shrinkage;

[0036] (3) the water storage phase change resin releases water at the later hydration stage of the super high performance concrete, which makes the un-hydrated cement in the concrete continue to hydrate, and the generated hydration products not only reduce the pores of the cement stone matrix, but also fill the defects between the two fibers caused by the addition of the composite fiber;

[0037] (4) The synergistic effect of the three materials of functional composite admixture, composite fiber and water storage phase change resin makes up for the shortcomings of single material, and under the reasonable material ratio and preparation process, the super high performance concrete with low hydration heat, low shrinkage and internal curing is prepared, and then is used in the field of mass concrete.
