Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of concrete material performance test analysis, in particular to a device and method for measuring the linear expansion coefficient of the interface transition zone of concrete. BACKGROUND

[0002] The interface transition zone (ITZ) is the core interface connecting the aggregate and mortar in the multiphase system of concrete, is also the "third phase" different from the aggregate and mortar, and is the key area determining the performance of concrete. At present, it is generally believed in the academic circle that it is mainly formed due to the boundary effect of coarse aggregate and the micro-zone water secretion effect. This special area not only directly affects the mechanical properties, mass and heat transfer properties of concrete, but also is the weakest link in the concrete matrix. Existing research shows that the interface transition zone plays an important role in the strength of concrete and the failure process of concrete. From the microstructure characteristics, the interface transition zone has the significant characteristics of high porosity and low strength, and the low-density calcium hydroxide (C-H) crystals are enriched in the interface transition zone. This structural characteristic directly leads to the initiation and widespread distribution of micro-cracks in the interface transition zone; at the same time, due to the large difference in the linear expansion coefficient between the interface transition zone and the aggregate, when the temperature gradient is formed in the concrete structure due to the internal and external temperature difference, the deformation of the interface transition zone and the aggregate will not be coordinated, which will lead to the constraint stress in the concrete. With the accumulation of constraint stress, the internal crack will continue to expand, and finally cause the macroscopic cracking of concrete. Therefore, the linear expansion coefficient of the interface transition zone is particularly important in the study of the micro-temperature cracking mechanism of concrete, and due to the special structure of the interface transition zone and the extremely small size, it cannot be obtained by direct measurement.

[0003] At present, there are technical bottlenecks in the direct measurement of the linear expansion coefficient of the interface transition zone (ITZ) of concrete, and the related research has long relied on empirical values, which directly restricts the research on the microstructure of concrete, the simulation accuracy of thermal stress of concrete structure, and the temperature cracking mechanism. Specifically, the ITZ is a weak area between the aggregate and the cement matrix, with a thickness of only microns, and a porous and non-uniform structure. However, the traditional thermal expansion test equipment is limited by the millimeter-level spatial resolution, and cannot realize accurate positioning and measurement of the local micro-zone, resulting in difficulty in directly obtaining the linear expansion coefficient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings of the present application. Other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor on the basis of the embodiments in the present application shall all belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] The present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0030] Example 1 As shown in Figures 1-4 , a method for measuring the linear expansion coefficient of the concrete interface transition zone, which is a preferred embodiment of the present application, uses a device for measuring the linear expansion coefficient of the concrete interface transition zone and comprises the following steps: S1: making a test piece 7, which includes an aggregate-cement mortar combined test piece, an aggregate test piece and a cement mortar test piece; The method for making the aggregate-cement mortar combined test piece is to polish the four sides of the aggregate plate 100 to be flat with 800-mesh fine sandpaper, then place it vertically on the bottom surface in a mold, and then pour the cement mortar 200 in the mold to obtain the aggregate-cement mortar combined test piece. The structure of the aggregate-cement mortar combined test piece is shown in Figure 2 .

[0031] The size of the aggregate plate 100 in the aggregate-cement mortar combined test piece is 20mm in length and width, 5mm in thickness, and the number is 10, and the placement interval must be greater than 2mm. The size of the aggregate-cement mortar combined test piece is 20mm in length and width, and 100mm in height.

[0032] Prepare a cement mortar test piece and an aggregate test piece of the same size as the aggregate-cement mortar combined test piece. The cement mortar of the cement mortar test piece is consistent in composition with the cement mortar of the aggregate-cement mortar combined test piece, and the aggregate plate 100 of the aggregate test piece is consistent in composition with the aggregate plate 100 of the aggregate-cement mortar combined test piece. Before testing, polish each surface of the test piece to be flat.

[0033] S2: Measure the interface transition zone thickness of the aggregate-cement mortar combination specimen and the length of each specimen 7; The hardness change trend of the cement mortar 200 and the aggregate plate 100 at the junction of the aggregate-cement mortar combination specimen is measured by using a microhardness tester, and the hardness change of 20% is taken as the threshold to determine the interface transition zone boundary to obtain the interface transition zone thickness. The instrument used for interface transition zone thickness test is HV-1000 microhardness tester.

[0034] According to the current related research, the interface transition zone thickness and strength are mainly related to the type of aggregate and the water-cement ratio of the cement mortar 200, and the interface thickness is usually 40-100 At the same time, the strength of the interface is significantly lower than that of the aggregate and mortar part, so the microhardness of the cement mortar 200 and the aggregate plate 100 at the junction of the aggregate-cement mortar combination specimen is measured by using a microhardness tester. The diamond indenter used in the microhardness test is a inverted pyramid four-sided pyramid with a face angle of 136°, and the test load is 0.098N. The length of the diagonal line of the test indentation is usually 10-20 During the test, the first point is punched at the joint, and then every 5 points are punched along the vertical aggregate direction, and the cement mortar 200 and the aggregate plate 100 are tested at the junction of the mortar side 100 The range within which the hardness changes rapidly is recorded as the boundary of the interface transition zone, and the length of this interval is the thickness of the interface transition zone.

[0035] In order to accurately obtain the interface transition zone thickness of the aggregate-cement mortar combination specimen, three places where the mortar and the aggregate meet in the specimen are selected, and the microhardness tester is used to test the interface transition zone thickness of the four sides of the specimen. Each side is selected five places with the same interval for measurement, and finally the measurement results are averaged to obtain the interface transition zone thickness.

[0036] At the same time, high-precision vernier calipers are also used to accurately measure the length of the aggregate specimen, the cement mortar specimen, and the aggregate-cement mortar combination specimen and record them.

[0037] The test principle of the Vickers microhardness tester is as follows: the Vickers hardness test is to use a 136° right rhombus diamond indenter to press into the surface of the tested object with a specified test force. After a specified holding test force time, the test force is removed, and the indentation diagonal line on the surface of the specimen is measured by using a micrometer eyepiece. The average pressure of the conical surface area of the indentation is calculated, which is the Vickers hardness value. The calculation formula is:

[0038] In the formula, is the Vickers hardness, is the experimental force, The average value of the lengths of the two diagonal lines of the indentation is taken as the indentation length.

[0039] In the formula, The indentation depth is taken as the indentation length, The average value of the lengths of the two diagonal lines of the indentation is taken as the indentation length.

[0040] S3: The test piece 7 is placed in the heating cylinder 101, and the temperature-adjustable cold and hot integrated circulating water machine 10 is turned on. The temperature of the heating cavity 13 is adjusted to deform the test piece 7. The deformation of the test piece 7 is measured by the vibrating wire strain gauge 3. The temperature of the heating cavity is kept unchanged. When the reading of the vibrating wire strain gauge no longer changes, stable measurement data is obtained. Specifically, the test piece 7 is placed in the heating cylinder 101 after the surface of the test piece 7 is smeared with a heat-conducting grease. The temperature-adjustable cold and hot integrated circulating water machine 10 is turned on. The initial temperature of the test piece is 20℃. Hot water flows in the heating cavity 13. After the temperature stabilizes, the deformation of the test piece 7 is measured by the vibrating wire strain gauge 3. When the test piece 7 is placed in the heating cylinder 101, one end of the test piece 7 slightly exceeds the heating cylinder 101 to ensure that the test baffle 6 is in full contact with the surface of the test piece 7 and to avoid the test baffle 6 from contacting the shell 11 and the heating cylinder 101, which would affect the results. The part of the test piece that exceeds the heating cylinder is wrapped with heat-insulating asbestos to keep the temperature of the test piece consistent.

[0041] After the reading of the frequency reading instrument 2 stabilizes, it is set to zero. The set temperature of the temperature-adjustable cold and hot integrated circulating water machine 10 is adjusted to 30℃, and the set temperature of 30℃ is kept unchanged. The change in the reading of the frequency reading instrument 2 is continuously observed. After the reading of the frequency reading instrument 2 stabilizes, the reading is recorded.

[0042] S4: According to the data measured in S2 and S3, the linear expansion coefficient of the interface transition zone is calculated.

[0043] The formula for calculating the linear expansion coefficient of the test piece is:

[0044] In the formula, The linear expansion coefficient of the test piece is taken as the linear expansion coefficient of the test piece, ;The strain of the test piece generated by heating is taken as the linear expansion coefficient of the test piece, ; The difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature of the test piece is taken as the linear expansion coefficient of the test piece, ; Based on the formula, the linear expansion coefficient of the aggregate test piece , and the linear expansion coefficient of the cement mortar test piece are calculated. ; For the aggregate-cement mortar combined test piece, the deformation is:
