AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are insufficient to effectively address crack control in large-volume concrete, especially in inland waterway lock projects. Traditional methods are costly and ineffective, and the cement industry suffers from carbon emissions and a lack of high-quality admixtures, resulting in high construction costs and carbon footprints.
The ternary synergistic crack control technology uses high early strength, low heat, high iron, low calcium cement, porous lithium slag powder, and thermal shrinkage-inducing fibers. Through gradient mixing process and three-stage temperature-controlled curing, low heat, high crack resistance, large-volume concrete is prepared. The early hydration heat of high iron cement and the internal curing effect of lithium slag powder, combined with the pre-compression stress network of fibers, improve the crack resistance of concrete.
This technology achieves lower heat generation and improved crack resistance in large-volume concrete, reducing carbon emissions and construction costs. The crack resistance level reaches Grade V, significantly reducing the occurrence of cracks and lowering maintenance costs.
Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of concrete preparation methods, in particular to a low-heat high-anti-cracking mass concrete for ship lock based on ternary synergistic crack control and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Most components of inland ship lock projects belong to mass concrete, and the crack control requirement is high and difficult. The problem of crack prevention of mass concrete for ship lock has not been well solved so far, and it is a key technical bottleneck that needs to be broken through. 1) Cement is the main source of carbon emissions in transportation construction, and green transportation construction under the double carbon strategy urgently needs cement energy saving and carbon reduction. The previous patent application team developed high-early-strength low-calcium low-heat anti-cracking cement, which has the advantages of energy saving and carbon reduction, and meets the needs of green transportation engineering construction. High-iron aluminate cement clinker is a kind of high-early-strength low-heat cement (7d hydration heat < 230J / g), and its durability is nearly 1 times higher than that of ordinary portland cement, which can improve the anti-cracking performance of mass concrete for ship lock. 2) At present, mineral admixtures (such as fly ash, mineral powder, etc.) have become an important part of the concrete industry. Due to the increasing strictness of environmental protection requirements and the increasing size of basic buildings, high-quality admixtures such as fly ash and mineral powder are in short supply. Lithium slag solid waste pollutes the environment and needs to be used in a high-quality way. 3) At present, the crack control of mass concrete (such as the Three Gorges Project) mainly uses medium and low heat cement, large mineral admixtures and air-cooled aggregates + ice to control the temperature of the mold; the above measures are costly for inland ship lock projects, and cracking is common when using ordinary portland cement; the pre-embedded cooling water pipe technology has high layout cost, is easy to seep water and affect the quality of concrete, and has the problems of poor grouting tightness and fast water cooling rate, which is easy to cause cracks; 4) It is urgent to develop new crack control technology for mass concrete of ship lock hub projects.

The present application proposes the application technology of high-iron-phase cement mass concrete self-heating curing, applies high-early-strength low-hydraulic-heat high-iron low-calcium cement (C4AF content is no less than 18%, C3S content is less than 50%, 7d hydraulic heat is no more than 230kJ / kg, and 3d cement mortar compressive strength is no less than 20MPa) to mass concrete, uses the self-heating curing environment of 40-60℃ inside the mass concrete engineering to accelerate the early hydration of high-iron-phase cement to improve the early tensile strength and improve the anti-crack performance of the concrete itself, and the advantages of good late strength growth and strong corrosion resistance are also played.
[0018] 2. The present application comprehensively utilizes high-early-strength low-heat high-iron low-calcium cement (C4AF content is no less than 18%, C3S content is less than 50%, 7d hydraulic heat is no more than 230kJ / kg), porous micro-expansion finely ground lithium slag powder admixture (specific surface area is no less than 500m2 / kg), and temperature shrinkage induced fiber to synergistically prepare C20-C40 low-heat high-anti-crack mass concrete for ship lock: the adiabatic temperature rise is less than 35℃, the anti-crack grade reaches level V, and the 90d micro-expansion rate is greater than 100με.

Carbon emissions: The cement industry accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions, and the carbon footprint of traditional ship lock concrete is greater than 300 kg CO2 / m³. 3 High-speed rail low-calcium cement reduces calcination temperature (energy saving 15%), but there is a shortage of materials, especially high-quality admixtures (fly ash / mineral powder), leading to price increases of over 40%. Lithium slag solid waste can be used as a 100% substitute (cost reduction of ¥50 / m³). 3 );
[0022] 2. High crack control costs: cost of pre-cooled aggregate + cooling water pipes > ¥120 / m 3 Furthermore, the grouting was not dense enough, which led to the risk of leakage. The cooling system was cancelled, and the temperature shrinkage fiber actively controlled cracking. Cracking was widespread. The cracking rate of ordinary Portland cement used in the inland waterway lock was >60%. The maintenance cost accounted for 3-5% of the total project cost. The ternary synergy achieved Class V crack resistance (cracks ↓86.8%).
